Dutch major shipyards not interested in building armoured launched for Saudi Arabia in 1969

In her letter dated 13 January 1969 wrote the Dutch firm Nederlandsche Vereenigde Scheepsbouw Bureaux (NEVESBU) at The Hague, Netherlands that she assumed that the companies which participated in her not were interested in building some armoured launches for protection of the Saudi Arabian sea shores.(1) The Kon. Mij. De Schelde at Vlissingen, Netherlands never built such ships. If the other companies were interested is yet unknown.
