The Tjerk Hiddes
class was designed with British
assistance to be a better match for Japanese
destroyers than previous Dutch destroyer classes, and it had probably
the most advanced fire control of any destroyer in the world in 1938.
The units of the class were still under construction when war broke out
in Europe, and only the Isaac Sweers
was close enough to
completion to be towed away before the Germans
overran the shipyards. She was
completed in Britain.
