Tromp-class cruiser

The Tromp-class was a two-ship series of light cruisers operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy between 1939 and 1969. Officially designated as flotilla leaders, the ships were built to also operate as torpedo and scout cruisers. The two ships, Tromp and Jacob van Heemskerck, were intended to defend the Dutch East Indies against Japan. By the start of World War II, only Tromp was in service: the uncompleted Heemskerck fled to the United Kingdom and was converted into an air-defense cruiser following the Invasion of the Netherlands. The two ships operated with either British or American fleets throughout Asia for the rest of the war, and participated in Allied offensives throughout the Indonesian Archipelago and western Pacific. During the early Cold War, the ships participated in several fleet maneuvers before they were reassigned as training ships and decommissioned in the late 1960s.
