The Prins van Oranje class consisted of two minelayers built for the Royal Netherlands Navy during the 1930s, intended to serve in the Dutch East Indies. Completed in 1932, both ships were stationed there when the Pacific War began in December 1941. Prins van Oranje was sunk by a Japanese destroyer in January 1942 and her sister ship, Gouden Leeuw was scuttled as a blockship when Dutch forces surrendered in March.
