HNLMS K XVII, Naval submarine in Rotterdam, Netherlands
The HNLMS K XVII measured 73.6 meters in length and operated with two diesel engines producing 1600 horsepower each for surface navigation.
The K XVII entered service in December 1933 and conducted patrols through Baltic ports before relocating to the Dutch East Indies in 1935.
The vessel represented Dutch naval engineering capabilities during the 1930s, operating as part of the Royal Netherlands Navy colonial defense strategy.
The submarine carried eight torpedo tubes, one 8.8 cm cannon, and maintained a maximum speed of 17 knots on the surface and 9 knots underwater.
In 1982, divers discovered the wreck at 50 meters depth in the South China Sea and retrieved the steering wheel, confirming its identity through serial numbers.
