HNLMS Amsterdam (D819) (Dutch: Hr.Ms. Amsterdam) was a destroyer of the Friesland class. The ship was in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1957 to 1980. The destroyer was named after the Dutch city of Amsterdam and was the nineteenth ship with this name. In 1980, the ship was taken out of service and sold to Peru, where it was renamed Villar. The ship's radio call sign was "PABH".[1]

The ship would arrive on 29 November in Biak. 10 April 1961 Amsterdam and HNLMS Piet Hein left for the Netherlands where they would arrive 20 months later.

On 12 May 1980, the vessel was decommissioned and sold to the Peruvian Navy.[4]
