The Wolf- or Fret-class destroyers, also known as the Roofdier class, lit. "predator", were a class of eight destroyers that were built between 1910 and 1913 for the Royal Netherlands Navy to serve in the Dutch East Indies. They were the first Dutch destroyers built after a British design. The first six ships were built by Koninklijke Schelde Groep De Schelde shipyards in Vlissingen, and the last two by Fijenoord in Rotterdam. The ships were replaced at the end of the 1920s by the Admiralen class.
