The ''Douwe Aukes'' class were minelayers of the Royal Netherlands Navy, named after the naval hero Douwe Aukes. The two ships were built at the Gusto shipyard in Schiedam. Construction began in 1919 and was completed in 1922. Built to serve in the Dutch territorial waters, both ships were still in service during the Second World War and they both escaped to the United Kingdom, the ''Douwe Aukes'' on 14 May and the ''Van Meerlant'' on 18 May 1940. The ''Van Meerlant'' was sunk by a mine in 1942 while in British service. == Ships in class == * (1922–1960) * (1922–1942) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Douwe Aukes-class minelayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
