Ships in service, designed or under construction
| Battlecruisers | Introduction |
| Battlecruiser designs 1939-1940 | This page lists most Dutch warships in active service, under construction or design during the time frame 1939-1945, with the exception of a number of small craft. If you're looking for a particular ship, I suggest you use the Ships by name-page to identify the class to which it belonged. The explanation of the table is as follows. If a ship has ever actively served in the Royal Netherlands Navy, the year in which it (or the first of its class) was commissioned can be found behind the name between (). If a ship has never reached the stage of completion, or has never served in the R.N.N., there is no year listed. Also, please note that the page does not list the numerous Dutch submarines that operated successfully against enemy shipping during the war, nor are auxiliaries attached to the submarine service listed. |
