The De Ruyter was completed in 1936 and was intended to serve as the flagship of a Netherlands East Indies squadron to defend the area against Japan. Designed under severe financial limitations, she was rather light on firepower and protection, but she did have better light antiaircraft armament than most cruisers of her day. However, the antiaircraft guns were grouped too closely and had poor arcs of fire. She used some welding and light alloys as weight-saving measures and had good subdivision. Construction took place in a dry dock because of lack of facilities at the yard (Wilton-Fijenoord.)

She was at sea when war broke out, and was lost at the Battle of the Java Sea.
