History

Dordrecht is the result of a cooperation between France, Belgium and The Netherlands. She is the third ship in the Alkmaar-class minehunters. The commissioning ceremony took place in Alblasserdam on 16 November 1983.[2]

Dordrecht was sold to the Latvian Navy in 2007 together with Alkmaar, Delfzijl, Harlingen and Scheveningen. She was transferred in 2008 and renamed Tālivaldis.[1][2][3]
