Be sure to contact me at the Navy Museum ( www.marinemuseum.nl) when you are planning your visit. I'm sure I can provide you with lots of information regarding Dutch ships and subs.
Great job on trying to get the Dutch sailors the attention they deserve. 
Mind you, apart from the K- and O-boats, the Dutch used one British T-class sub during WWII. HNlMS Zwaardvisch (ex-HMS Talent) sunk U-168 off the north coast of Java on 6 October 1944. I suppose it will be easier to find a T-class sub on SHIII than a K- or O-boat.

Thanks for the reply and invitation. I'll be sure to send a notice your way when I've planned my trip. Things are a little hectic right now finishing up my semester, but should all be good to go in a week or so.
