}} | HNLMS Gelderland (D811) ({{lang-nl|Hr.Ms. Gelderland}}) was a destroyer of the {{sclass-|Holland|destroyer|4}}. The ship was in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1955 to 1973. The destroyer was named after the Dutch province of Gelderland and was the twenty-first ship with this name. In 1973 the ship was taken out of service, after which it was given a berth in Amsterdam for the Technical Training Royal Navy (TOKM) school. During her service the ship's radio call sign was "PARY".[2] The ship was sold for scrapping in 1988. HistoryHNLMS Gelderland was one of four {{sclass-|Holland|destroyer}}s and built at the Wilton-Fijenoord yard in Vlissingen. The keel laying took place on 10 March 1951 and the launching on 19 September 1953. The ship was put into service on 17 August 1955.[3] After being decommissioned in 1973, Gelderland was given a position as an instruction vessel on the quay of the Marine Etablissement Amsterdam for the Technical Training Royal Navy (TOKM) school.[3] The ship has laid at the quay between 1973 and 1988, after which it got sold to a scrap company in Zaandam.
