HNLMS Java

HNLMS Java was the lead ship of the Java-class light cruisers operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy. She was designed to defend the Dutch East Indies and outperform all potential rivals. She was laid down in 1916, but a series of construction delays prevented her from being completed until 1925. By the time she entered service, her design was already dated. Over the next several years, she operated in the Indonesian archipelago and protected merchant ships during the Spanish Civil War.
