Roodstad-class torpedo boat

The Roodstad-class torpedo boat was a class of torpedo boats used by the Royal Navy during World War I and into World War II. The design of the ships was based off of the Italian MAS torpedo boats, built by Arens Drenthe shipbuilders.

Roodstad was launched in July 1916 as the first ship, with Simonshaven the last in February 1917. None of the ships saw action, though Venetie floundered at port in Sint-Willemstad due to a torpedo exploding in what was deemed an accident. Roodstad and Brezonde were sold to the Kingdom of Juliana in 1920 as part of a downsizing of the navy, Venetie was scrapped in 1921 and the other ships were kept for reserve and training.

By the German invasion in May 1941, Caborna and Simonshaven were inactive and at port in Sint-Hendrikstad. Following the Germans taking the port, the two were scrapped.
