Hr.Ms. De Ruyter Light Cruiser

$9.00

Hr.Ms. De Ruyter was a Netherlands Navy light Cruiser and the Flagship of Rear-Admiral Karel Doorman during the Battle of the Java Sea February 1942.

During the Battle De Rutyer was hit by a single long lance torpedo fired from the IJN Heavy Cruiser Haguro, which caused a fire and knock-out the electric systems. This made it impossible for the crew to stop the flooding and fires. De Ruyter sank during the night, with the loss of 367 men, including Rear-Admiral Karel Doorman.
