Background

About the ship

Having captured the Netherlands, Germany took over the Dutch shipbuilding facilities. A series of twelve fleet destroyers from 1940 was ordered from the Dutch shipyards. Starting in 1942, the construction progressed slowly due to the reluctance of the Dutch to work for the invaders. By the time the Allied troops landed in Normandy, not a single ship of the series had been launched. The three ships closest to completion were rapidly towed to Germany; however, one of them was sunk by British bombers, and the others were never finished due to a lack of funds.
