By Rindert van Zinderen-Bakker

HNLMS Kortenaer was torpedoed by the Japanese cruiser Haguro in the Battle of the Java Sea on February 27, 1942. An eyewitness recorded that 'Kortenaer, about 700 yards bearing 80 relative, was struck on the starboard quarter by a torpedo, blew up, turned over, and sank at once leaving only a jackknifed bow and stern a few feet above the surface. This book presents an overview of the development and operational use of HNLMS Kortenaer with many photos and illustrations.
