The Indies Military Navy (Dutch: Indische Militaire Marine.; IMM) was a Dutch naval force that was permanently based in the Dutch East Indies. It was established on 16 November 1866 and operated exclusively in the waters of the colony. The navy consisted of fast small-sized warships with credible firepower that were used to enforce Dutch authority in the archipelago and to promote the general interests of the Dutch East Indies. In 1930 the IMM was disbanded.
