HNLMS Banckert (1929)

[2] On 20 October 1936, the cargo ship Van der Wijck, of the Koninklijke Paketvaart Maatschappij, capsized in the Java Sea.

[3] On 14 February 1942, Banckert's sister, Van Ghent, got stuck on a reef and her crew was forced to set the ship on fire.

[2] Between 24 and 28 February 1942, the ship was attacked by Japanese planes while docked at Port of Tanjung Perak and damaged to the point that she had to be scuttled on 2 March of that year.

On 20 March 1944, the Japanese decided to raise the ship and the repair her at Cavite Naval Base, and on 20 April 1944 they reclassified her as Patrol Boat No.

[1] However, the repairs were never finished, and after the war Banckert was reacquired and eventually expended as a target ship in the Madura Strait in September 1949.
