Friesland to stay with the Europe TT and her Clone Groningen will join the Dutch TT

In Update 0.10.6 a new nation "Netherlands" will appear, together with its first branch of early access ships, "Cruisers". In Update 0.10.7, the Netherlands tech tree will feature Groningen, a complete clone of Friesland. She will be available for 1.000,000  Free XP, as well as in the Armory for 19,300  Doubloons.

Initially, it was planned to transfer Friesland to the Dutch tech tree, as historically she was in service with the Koninklijke Marine (Royal Netherlands Navy). However, having analyzed the feedback and possible options of replacing and transferring the commander assigned to Friesland, we decided to leave her as a European ship. Thus, players who own Friesland will be able to enter battles with familiar commanders that were trained particularly for Friesland, and if they want, they will have an opportunity to purchase the new Groningen. 

Starting from Update 0.10.6, Friesland will no longer be available to purchase.
