Hopefully just posted four images of the Hertog Hendrik, Tromp, and two
pics of the Tromps seaplane.

Didn't know if they were common or not.

Can't say that I ever heard of them. I shall hasten over there and give
them a look.

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?

Hertog Henrik: post war cruiser named after a minor german prince who was
married to Queen Wilhelmina. A submarine of the same name was captured by
Germans early in WW2 and took no further part in the war.

Tromp: light cruiser named after admiral who humiliated the British navy in
1652

Took part in many joint naval actions against the Japanese
