He took part in a meeting of the Admiralty Council, which was held on the Rotterdam, an amphibious transport ship, to mark the occasion. The Council is the highest decision-making and advisory body of the Navy and is chaired by Vice Admiral Rob Kramer, the Inspector of the Dutch Navy. Willem-Alexander then learnt about the work on the Poolster seamanship trainer. This \"stone ship\" can be used to practise all the work that needs to be done on the deck of a ship, irrespective of the presence of a real ship or a sea voyage. This includes working on the lines and preparing to take on fuel at sea.<br \/>\nThe unpretentious king chose the appropriate attire for his working visit: instead of a gala uniform and medals, all participants wore the simple blue cloth of a working uniform. Willem-Alexander is well acquainted with the navy. From 1985 to 1987, he served in Den Helder and on board the frigates <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Trumpet<\/span> and <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\"> Abraham Crijnssen<\/span> completed his military service. As crown prince, he was a flotilla admiral in the reserve, but was discharged from military service at his own request before his inauguration as King of the Netherlands, as he is not permitted to hold a military function in the armed forces as head of state.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13768\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13768\" style=\"width: 1312px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13768 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1.jpg\" alt=\"In dialogue with soldiers from the HNLMS Rotterdam\" width=\"1312\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1.jpg 1312w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-768x513.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-1080x721.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-750x501.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/21-05-20-Koenig-1-1140x761.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1312px) 100vw, 1312px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In dialogue with soldiers from the HNLMS Rotterdam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10946\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10946 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3-.jpg\" alt=\"Seamanship trainer de Poolster in 2018\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3-.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-20-Koenig-3--1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seamanship trainer de Poolster in 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: Koninklijke Marine<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seine Majest\u00e4t Willem-Alexander, K\u00f6nig der Niederlande und Prinz von Oranien-Nassau, besuchte einmal mehr die Marine in Den Helder.
