Walrus was laid down on 11 October 1979 at the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij yard in Rotterdam. She was launched on 28 October 1985, but on 14 August 1986 an electrical fire broke out on board causing severe damage. Her completion was delayed until 13 September 1989.

During the multi-national "Joint Task Force Exercise/Theatre Missile Defence Initiative 1999" Walrus successfully penetrated the U.S. Navy screen and "sank" several ships, including the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt before escaping.
