HNLMS Notre Dame de France was originally a French trawler. Upon the outbreak of World War II it was requisitioned by the French Navy in September 1939 and was commissioned as a patrol boat. It was captured by the Royal Navy after the fall of France after which it was loaned to the Royal Netherlands Navy. There the ship was known as Her Netherlands Majesty's French Ship (HNMFS) Notre Dame de France, although it would officially be referred to as Her Netherlands Majesty's Ship (HNLMS) Notre Dame de France. It sailed with both the Netherlands and French flags.[1]
