HNLMS Van Ghent ({{lang-nl|Hr.Ms. Van Ghent}}) (originally named De Ruyter) was an {{Sclass2-|Admiralen|destroyer}} built for the Royal Netherlands Navy in the 1920s. The destroyer served in the Netherlands East Indies but was wrecked after running aground in 1942.

Design

In the mid-1920s, the Netherlands placed orders for four new destroyers to be deployed to the East Indies. They were built in Dutch shipyards to a design by the British Yarrow Shipbuilders, which was based on the destroyer {{HMS|Ambuscade|D38|6}}, which Yarrow had designed and built for the British Royal Navy.[3]

The ship's main gun armament was four {{convert|120|mm|in}} guns built by the Swedish company Bofors, mounted two forward and two aft, with two {{convert|75|mm|in|abbr=on}} anti-aircraft guns mounted amidships. Four 12.7 mm machine guns provided close-in anti-aircraft defence. The ship's torpedo armament comprised six {{convert|533|mm|in|abbr=on}} torpedo tubes in two triple mounts, while 24 mines could also be carried. To aid search operations, the ship carried a Fokker C.VII-W floatplane on a platform over the aft torpedo tubes, which was lowered to the sea by a crane for flight operations.[2][4]

History

The destroyer De Ruyter was laid down on 28 August 1925, at Koninklijke Maatschappij De Schelde, Vlissingen, was launched on 13 October 1926, and commissioned on 31 May 1928.[1]

She and her sister {{HNLMS|Evertsen|1926|2}} left the Netherlands on 27 September 1928, for the Dutch East Indies.[5]

On 29 July 1929, De Ruyter, her sister Evertsen, the cruiser {{HNLMS|Java|1921|2}}, and the submarines {{HNLMS|K II||2}} and {{HNLMS|K VII||2}}, left Surabaya, and steamed to Tanjung Priok. At Tanjung Priok, the ships waited for the royal yacht, Maha Chakri, of the king of Siam, and the destroyer Phra Ruang. After this, the ships, without the submarines, visited Bangka, Belitung, Riau, Lingga Islands, Belawan, and Deli. On 28 August, they returned in Tanjung Priok. On 31 August, she participates in a fleet review at Tanjung Priok, held in honor of the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, who was born that day. Other ships that participated in the review where the destroyer Evertsen and the cruiser Java.[6]

While practicing with the cruiser {{HNLMS|Sumatra|1920|2}}, her sister Evertsen, and five submarines, Sumatra stranded on an uncharted reef near the island Kebatoe, on 14 May 1931. Sumatra was later pulled lose by {{HNLMS|Soemba||2}} and a tugboat.[7]

De Ruyter was renamed Van Ghent on 1 October 1934. She was renamed because of a newly built light cruiser would take that name.[8]

World War II

In 1940, she and her sister {{HNLMS|Kortenaer|1927|2}}, guarded five German cargo ships. The ships were relieved by Java on 26 April 1940.[9]

When war broke out in the Pacific in December 1941, Van Ghent was serving in the Netherlands East Indies as part of Rear Admiral Karel Doorman's command. She was involved in the salvage of the United States cargo ship {{USAT|Liberty}}.

De Ruyter, along with several Dutch and US cruisers and destroyers, took part in an unsuccessful attempt to attack on Japanese shipping off Balikpapan, on 3–4 February, with the Allied force being driven off by Japanese air attacks.[10][11] Doorman's forces attempted another sortie against Japanese invasion shipping on 15 February 1942, but Van Ghent was wrecked when she ran aground in Tjilatjap harbour, and was scuttled by the destroyer {{HNLMS|Banckert|1929|2}}.[10]
