HMNS Hollens was an Admiral-class cruiser built for the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Navy in the early 1950s. Hollens saw service throughout the 1950s and 60s, with its Imperial Navy career ending in 1967 when it was captured during the Imperial Civil War. She was decomissioned in 1970 and scrapped the following year as surplus to requirements by the Red Banner Navy of the DPRVF.
