The Dutch squadron in the Netherlands East Indies had nothing heavier than a light cruiser. However, the ships were on the alert and at sea when war broke out, and Dutch submarines would be the first Allied naval units to draw blood.
The naval forces were organized into three Sea Forces (Zeemacht Nederlands-Indië). The Netherlands Indies Navy (Nederlands Indie Marine) controlled the submarine and mine warfare forces; Netherlands Indies Squadron (Nederlands Indië Eskader) controlled the cruisers and destroyers; and Militarized Government Navy (Gemilitairiseede Gouvernementsmarine) was the customs and patrol service, somewhat analogous to the U.S. Coast Guard.
