Background

About the ship

Evolving from Project 1047, this battlecruiser emerged in the late 1930s to confront the Japanese Navy in the Dutch East Indies. The ship featured a distinctive armament set—her main battery was represented by twelve 234 mm guns in quadruple-gun turrets. The main battery guns were built based on British technology, highlighting the close collaboration between Great Britain and the Dutch Navy during World War II.
