The Walrus class was a class of two submarines that served between
1953 and 1971 in the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were originally Balao class submarines that had served in the United States Navy (USN). Both boats were loaned under terms of the Military Defense Assistance Program (MDAP) to the Royal Netherlands Navy. Before both submarines were transferred from the USN to the RNN they had undergone an extensive modernization known as Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program (GUPPY). |
