A pantserschip can be described as a coastal defence battleship with limited blue-water capacity. Basicly the next generation of ship after the monitors, the type was widely used among the smaller navies in Europe from the late 19th until the middle of the 20th century as the main ships of their respective fleet. Undergunned compared to the larger Dreadnaughts and post-dreadnaughts (wich arrived at the turn of the century), they were still usefull because of their greater usefulness in shallow waters. Few of them ever saw combat in WWI, some of them did in WWII, and the last ones where scrapped in the fiftes and sixties. pantserschip Hertog Hendrik File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... pantserschip Hertog Hendrik File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

In early 1912, the Dutch minister of navy J. Wentholt proposed to build a ship which was a continuation of the pre-dreadnoughts built during the previous years.
The design, labelled Pantserschip 1912, was to displace 7600 tonnes, and to have an armament of four 280-mm guns in two twin turrets, a secondary battery of 10 single 105-mm guns behind shields and three torpedo tubes of 53 cm.
Less than a month after Pantserschip 1912 had been rejected, he formed a State Committee which was to investigate the possibilities for a stronger maritime defence of the Netherlands East Indies against Japan, which was considered the most likely enemy.
