HNLMS Orion was a steamship of the Dienst der bebakening en kustverlichting.[3][4][1] The ship was built in the Dutch East Indies and served as an inspection vessel (Dutch: inspectievaartuig).[5] Later the ship was rebuilt and transferred to the Government Navy, which used it as a hydrographic survey vessel.[6]
Design and construction
Orion was ordered in 1911 at the Marine Etablissement te Soerabaja in the Dutch East Indies.[5] The ship was launched on 9 March 1912 and commissioned into the Dienst der bebakening en kustverlichting on 1 August 1912.[2][7] The Dutch engineer R.G. Leegstra was responsible for the design of Orion.[5][8] The cost of building Orion was estimated at 271.700 Dutch guilders.[2]
Orion was frequently repaired throughout its career because of various defects.[9]
Service history
In 1916 Orion was used to experiment with a different type of coal by testing if it could be used to power steam boilers.[10][11]
Government Navy
On 1 October 1920 Orion was taken out of service of the Dienst der bebakening en kustverlichting and rebuilt at the Marine Etablissement te Soerabaja.[6] After being rebuilt the ship was transferred to the Government Navy and stationed in 1921 at Tandjong Priok.[6]
In 1924 two ship's boats of the Orion collapsed near Koeaia Peudada.[12]
In 1926 Orion was extensively repaired at the Droogdok Maatschappij Tandjong Priok.[9][13]
In December 1929 Orion searched in the Java Sea for a reef that had been spotted a month earlier by a captain of the KPM.[14] During the search the ship was joined by two Dornier Do J Wal flying boats.[15]
In 1934 the commander of the Orion, Ph.A.C.Th. Knijff, was awarded the De Ruyter Medal for his service.[16] Under his command a better waterway had been found near Samarinda and he successfully used a new method to do hydrographic research.[17][18]
Second World War
At the start of the Second World War Orion had already been decommissioned and was used as a light ship at Balikpapan.[19]
On 22 January 1942 Orion was sunk by the Dutch submarine K XVIII in the Bay of Balikpapan to make access to Balikpapan more difficult for the invading Japanese.[1][20]
