Unfortunately they are violating the 'flagging rules' which indicates the national flag should be lowered at sunset.

In the States, the US flag can be flown 24/7 as long as it is lit at night. Does the same rule apply in the Netherlands?

Yes, when it is fully lightened it is allowed to fly the Dutch national flag or any other national flag between sunset and sunrise.

I don't see a fully lightened flag on the s.s. Rotterdam.

My first ship is looking good!

I will never forget standing at the stern while two F14 Tomcats did a low supersonic flyby a la Goose and Maverick and then hitting the afterburners and climbing out of sight.

And swimming in the aft pool when it had no business being opened because off rough seas.
