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.
