HNLMS Rigel was a multi-purpose steamship of the Government Navy that could also be used as minelayer and as yacht for the Governor-general of the Dutch East Indies.[1][2] The ship was militarized in 1939 and taken into service of the Royal Netherlands Navy, where it served as minelayer between 1939 and 1942.[3][4]

Design and construction

Rigel was built in the Netherlands at the Nederlandsche Dok Maatschappij.[5] The ship's construction began on 3 March 1930, it was launched on 7 March 1931 and commissioned into the Government Navy on 6 November 1931.[6] The costs of building the ship was estimated to be 1.080.000 Dutch guilders, which was considered to be quite low for this type of ship.[7][8]

The ship was equipped with a double set of rails on her deck that could carry a total of 150 mines.[2][9] After being militarized in 1939 Rigel also got equipped with a ASDIC installation between 1940 and 1941.[10]

Service history

In April 1938 Rigel towed the hydrographic survey vessel Hydrograaf to Soerabaja after it had lost a propeller.[11][12]

Second World War

Between 1939 and 1942 Rigel laid down mines in the waters of the Dutch East Indies.[3] Starting in August 1939 the ship was made ready to mine the Westervaarwater near Soerabaja.[13] In December 1941 it mined the access waters to Tandjong Priok.[14] A few months later, in February 1942, Rigel laid down mines together with the HNLMS Krakatau at the coast of Madoera.[15]

On 2 March 1942 Rigel was scuttled by its crew and used as blockship at the northern port entrance of Tandjong Priok.[6][16]

In March 1944 the ship was lifted and partly restored by the Japanese.[3] After Japan surrendered in 1945 the ship was found and handed over to the Dienst van Scheepsvaart (DvS).[6][17]

In 1951 the ship was transferred to the Indonesian Navy.[6]
