HNLMS Douwe Aukes was the lead ship of her class of minelayers built for the Royal Netherlands Navy during the 1920s. Completed in 1922, she played a minor role during the Second World War. After Germany invaded the Netherlands in May 1940 the ship fled to the United Kingdom. Douwe Aukes was transferred to the Royal Navy in 1941 and was returned to the Royal Netherlands Navy in 1945 where she served as a depot ship. She was sold for scrap in 1962
