Laid down, displacement, length, beam, draft, speed, and complement are not stored for each hull, so this table leaves them out.

Modjokerto, from a glass plate negative by Louis Claes in the museum collections of the MAS in Antwerp, dated 1922 to 1933. The museum names the ship Modjokerto, and the match with this ship rests on that name and that date range, so it is not confirmed. Photograph by Louis Claes.
