HNLMS Evertsen
From Warlike
Q2777299
HNLMS Evertsen was an Admiralen-class destroyer of the Royal Netherlands Navy operated between 1928 and 1942. Alongside her class, she was designed to serve as both as a destroyer and minelayer in the Dutch East Indies. During World War II, she operated with an Allied fleet in the unsuccessful defense of the East Indies. In February 1942, the destroyer was evacuating the region as she lagged behind the cruisers Perth and Houston. The two cruisers were destroyed in view of Evertsen during the Battle of Sunda Strait. The destroyer attempted to discreetly escape, but she was spotted by Japanese ships and was crippled by shell fire. With no escape, she was beached, the crew ran inland, and was destroyed by a fire.
