Welcome to the U.S.S. DeRuyter, NCC-74587.  You must wonder, "what is this ship?!?", well I'll tell you. The DeRuyter is an Intrepid class vessal launched seven months after Voyager. It is commanded by captain Robert Eugene Castle, one of  the youngest ever to reach captain-hood (he didn't  beat captain Kirk though). The ship was assigned to 'hunt down' and arrest members of the Maquis. Captain Castle does this with joy, which owned him the nick-name 'Maquisfinder General', after the 'Withfinder General' Matthew Hopkins. The nick-name was 'invented' by first officer commander John Richards, who is a good friend to the captain, but can also be 'a great pain in the butt', as the captain puts it.
Right now I'd like to tell you about the name of the ship. You must think, "who or what is DeRuyter?". Well I trust you have discovered it's a name. And the name isn't attached to just anybody. The ship was named in honour of the seventeenth century sailor Michiel Adriaenz. DeRuyter, admiral in the fleet of the Republic of the Seven Provinces (you'd probably know it under the name it later got: Kingdom of the Netherlands). He was one of the best admirals ever alive in the universe, well at least that's what I think....
He was born in Vlissingen, Sealand March 24, 1607 and died in Syracuse Bay, April 29, 1676. He commanded some amount of fleets to the Mediteranian Sea to protect the merchant ships against pirats (Maquis?). He later on proved to be a great tactician, like me (>"Yeah, right!" <"Mind your own business, yeoman!" ), and achieved many victories: Danzig (1656), Portugal (1658), Expedition to Funen (1659). In 1665 he became C. in C. of the fleet and got a brand new flagship called 'De Zeven Provinciën', The Seven Provinces. At Chattam, Great Britain (1667) our man proved again that is was truely The Man. In the Third Dutch-English War (1672-1674) he totally whiped the English into extinction (if you're English you won't like this, but 'to kin bad!!'). In the battles of  Solebay (1672) and Kijkduin (1673) the Dutch fleet was horribly outnumbered, but still won! However, during the Battle of Stromboli and Syracuse he was mortally wounded and died a week later...
 

Victory at Chattam- with help of good pilots, former Cromwell supporters, the Dutch managed to defeat the English terribly.Two big warships, one being the "Royal Charles", the admiral's ship, were taken back to the Netherlands as a spoil of war. The Englsih suffert great losses, the Dutch only lost 50 men. Right after that, on July 31 1667, the Treaty of Breda was signed.

There has been other ships called "DeRuyter" or "De Ruyter"; two Dutch naval vessels (mid 20th century and early 21st century) and one starship. This startship was Saladin class, it's registry number NCC-538. This class is simmilar to the Constitution class, except for the fact that it doesn't have a special engineering section and only one warp nacelle. There were at one time 20 Saladin class startships in service. They began building them in 2243. Originally it was equiped qith laser cannons but in 2260 it was refitted with phaser banks and photon torpedoes. They were refitted with Duatronic computary in 2250.
Around 2305  the first Saladin class vessels began retiring. Although ships of this class were never majorly refitted like their Constutution relatives. Some Saladin class vessels served till as late as 2320....
It was a good class which served well for Starfleet's various purposes... Starfleet has chosen to give all the ships from the old days a new namesake (that's why there are/were two U.S.S. Defiant's...).

Example of a Saladin class vessel... The picture is actually of the first ship, the U.S.S. Saladin, NCC-500.

Now...what do you say we show you the rest of the ship?
