HNLMS Hobein was a training ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN).[1] She was built in Germany originally for the Kriegsmarine as Dornbusch.[2] After the Second World War Dornbusch was transferred to the Netherlands and entered service in the RNLN as Doornbosch (later spelled Doornbos).[2] In 1952 her name was changed to Hobein.[3] After many years of service, she was decommissioned on 26 February 1973.[2] On 29 May 1973, she was sold to J. van der Veldt & Zoon in Amsterdam.[2]
