Service history
Royal Netherlands Navy
Amsterdam deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Enduring Freedom during 2005/2006 and provided assistance to two US naval vessels after a battle they had fought with pirates on 18 March 2006.
Amsterdam was assigned in December 2010 to the coast of Côte d'Ivoire in order to assist in a possible evacuation of European Union citizens from the country in the wake of unrest after the 2010 presidential election.
Amsterdam was decommissioned on 4 December 2014 and is transferred to the Peruvian Navy. The RNLN will not have an operational tanker until the new Joint Logistic Support Ship Karel Doorman was scheduled to be commissioned sometime in 2015.
Peruvian Navy
Amsterdam was acquired by the Peruvian Navy in July 2014. It was delivered to the navy on 4 December 2014 and commissioned as Tacna, for the border city Tacna, with the number ARL-158. The vessel was part of the revamp of the navy.
