HNLMS Cerberus (A851) is a diving support vessel of the Royal Netherlands Navy. She has been named after the mythical creature Cerberus.[2][3][1]

History

Cerberus was laid down on 15 April 1991 at Scheepswerf Visser in Den Helder (now part of the Damen Group) as the first of four new diving support vessel. She was launched later that year on 18 December 1991 and commissioned on 28 February 1992.[3][1][2]

It is expected that Cerberus will reach the end of her lifecycle in 2026/27.[4]
