This paper examines the implications for the design and operational effectiveness of these vessels by performing two case studies of the Zeven Provinci¨en air defence and command frigate (LCF) and the Johan de Witt landing platform dock (LPD). In the case studies an operational analysis, a parametric design study, and an effectiveness assessment are performed on multiple proposed designs. Results showed that it is possible to reduce the fossil fuel consumption of the RNLN by almost 70%. This does affect the design of the vessels, however. It was also concluded that the LPD is more suitable for the application of low-energy-density fuels than the LCF, due to its missions requirements. Both the LPD and the LCF show a significant increase in displacement and fuel cost, but it is possible to reduce effects on the operational effectiveness to a minimum. 000010701 542__ $$fCC-BY 000010701 6531_ $$aNaval Vessels Design 000010701 6531_ $$aAlternative Fuels 000010701 6531_ $$aEnergy Carriers 000010701 6531_ $$aMarine Engineering 000010701 6531_ $$aShip Design 000010701 7001_ $$aStreng, J$$uDefence Materiel Organisation 000010701 7001_ $$aVerbaan, HJ$$uDefence Materiel Organisation 000010701 7001_ $$aBarendregt, I$$uDefence Materiel Organisation 000010701 7001_ $$aKana, A$$uDelft University of Technology 000010701 7001_ $$aHopman, H$$uDelft University of Technology 000010701 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000010701 773__ $$jINEC 2022 000010701 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/category/categories/imarest-event/international-naval-engineering-conference-and-exhibition-2022$$yConference website 000010701 8564_ $$9acc2c457-c5b7-47d8-9803-a6e6c564171a$$s1592058$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/10701/files/INEC_2022_paper_69.pdf 000010701 980__ $$aConference Proceedings
