Where to start on the Dutch navy in the East Indies

What books are a good starting point for the Dutch navy in the East Indies during the interwar period?

Begin with John Jordan's Warships After Washington and Warships After London.

Warships After Washington and Warships After London provide the first reading recommendation. The paired John Jordan volumes place Dutch plans inside the wider treaty system rather than isolating them from other navies' choices. They provide a starting framework for interwar ships and the pressures shaping the East Indies fleet. An upcoming dedicated review makes this moment a concise reading route rather than a claim that the pair exhausts the subject.
