Very neat! I thought we were talking aircraft types and I find ships (and a plane). I imagine Hertog Hendrik was named for a prince. Was he from the House of Orange? Tromp=Triumph? Both look to be destroyers. Any ideas of their wartime record?

Tromp: light cruiser named after admiral who humiliated the British navy in
