HNLMS Piet Hein was an Admiralen-class destroyer operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy between 1928 and 1942. She was designed to also serve as a minelayer, and spend most of her career in the Dutch East Indies. During the Dutch East Indies campaign of World War II, the destroyer joined an Alied fleet in several attempts to repulse Japanese invasions. In one such attempt, during the Battle of Badung Strait, Piet Hein became isolated from her fleet and exchanged fire with the Japanese destroyer Asashio. In the ensuing engagement, she lost electrical power and became immobile. Afterwards, she was torpedoed and quickly sank.
