"The keel was laid on 26 November 1938. The ship was launched on 16 March
1940 and the unfinished ship was evacuated to England after the German
invasion of the Netherlands. She was completed in Great Britain, with six
British 4 inch dual purpose guns instead of planned five 120 mm guns. The
ship was modern for her time, she was fast and had two fully stabilised 40
mm Bofors AA-guns, each with its own "Hazemeyer" fire control."
