Service history
Eland Dubois was scuttled in the Madura Strait on 8 March 1942 after faulty boilers made it impossible for her to reach the safety of Australia. After sinking their ship the crew transferred to the Jan van Amstel, which was sunk with heavy loss of life later the same day.
The original article can be found at HNLMS Eland Dubois (1937) and the edit history here.
