Royal Dutch Navy in Australia, van Galen

Dear Sir,
 
Herewith I would appreciate to get any type of information regarding possible assignments of Royal Dutch Navy vessels in N.E. Australia after the loss of the East Indies.

I am trying to put together the navy life of my father who at present is 84 years old, but still extremely stubborn about releasing info on his war history. I do know he was stationed in Ceylon (Trincomalee) and Australia.
Does the name van Galen (Destroyer former UK N-CLass Noble) say anything to your memory.

Awaiting your response,

Kind regards,
M.J. Oosterwijk
St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies.
