Duyfken as a scout in an early Dutch expedition

A viewer connects the term scout cruiser with Duyfken in the first Dutch East Indies expedition. Duyfken served the scouting role in a four-ship squadron alongside the larger Hollandia, Mauritius, and Amsterdam. The comment also identifies it as the vessel that encountered Australia. The response acknowledges the example without adding detail, so the historical information here comes from the viewer's contribution.
