  1. Battle cruisers were a proven deterrent for small navies. The mere existence of HMAS Australia in 1914 caused the German Pacific squadron to avoid that part of the world and instead they tried to get home the long way via Cape Horn where it was destroyed off the Falkland Islands. As Drach said, the Dutch knew they couldn't defeat the Japanese, but the presence of a couple of battle cruisers might make them look elsewhere for oil and rubber.
