Two submarines of the Royal Netherlands Navy have borne the name HNLMS Walrus (S802), in honor of the Walrus.

  • HNLMS Walrus (1) was originally USS Icefish (SS-367), a U.S. Navy Balao-class submarine, launched in 1944 and decommissioned in 1946. The ship was loaned to the Netherlands in 1953; she was commissioned in the Royal Netherlands Navy as HNLMS Walrus (S802). In 1971, Walrus was sold for scrap.
  • HNLMS Walrus (S802) is a Walrus-class submarine, launched in 1985, in active service.
