History
The Dutch destroyer Van Galen
was sunk in Rotterdam by a near miss of a German air attack on 10.05.1940. The ship was raised in October of the same year and it was decided to repair the ships and put it into German service as ZH3
when the construction of ZH2
would be completed. In August of 1941, this plan was canceled and the ship was broken down in October 1941.
