I'm the light cruiser from the Netherlands De Ruyter. With my new model main gun and powerful concentrated anti-air gun emplacements, I was a new kind of light cruiser that was deployed to the Dutch East Indies[1]. I fought as the flagship of the ABDA Fleet but... Japanese heavy cruisers are bad news. They really are.[2] |
