If any warship could be described as
a rust bucket, the Serdang
would be it. Completed before the turn of the century, she
was converted to a
minelayer in 1921. She was most likely at Surabaya when war
broke out. She apparently served principally as a torpedo repair ship,
and was scuttled 6 March 1942 near Surabaya to avoid capture.
