You can put her as a diving vessel. She's always stationed in Antwerp, right in the spot where WJ's link showed her. Always on that quay. Although I must say that I have never seen her active in the last three years. BUT, last week there was a change, her stern was the other side now, so it meant she had gone out. And yesterday or the day before she was gone too.
You can rent her to go diving on the river Scheldt (or whever you want to go I think).

Don't know about her name and "military-like" painting though. Looks kind of funny. And the forward entrance to her forepeek looks like a cannon :-) .
