Question
This passage:
"However, due to the cost-cutting policy that went into her design, De Ruyter was not quite up to her task. Her main battery (7 × 150 mm guns) was underpowered in comparison to other light cruisers of the time (for example the British Leander class), and the class had inadequate armour as well and lacked long range anti-aircraft guns. However, her fire control system was excellent."
This seems unnecessarily belittling. She has one main gun less than a Leander which is a thousand tons heavier and one main gun more than an Arethusa which is a thousand tons lighter. Both classes receive glowing articles on this wiki. She can't be called undergunned.
