Indonesia Sea Fleet "Steadfast Until the End"

"My ancestors a broad pelaut.Gemar samudera.Menerjang wade the surf without fear, taking the storm was unusual", Indonesia is known as a maritime country with over 17,000 islands spread from Sabang to Merauke. It is appropriate that we have a formidable fleet and qualified. Crashing waves? "It happens" and has been proven by our war ships. Call it Sultan Iskandar Muda -367 KRI's Navy, had to maneuver with a slope of 45 degrees amid the ocean-when brought to Indonesia from producer countries.

But, what about submarines? It is not easy to build submarines, need huge funds and technology tinggi'katanya. Building a submarine took three years, just finished. The presence of submarines is necessary, in order to oversee the defense and Homeland security. Indonesia needs at least 10 submarines sediktnya to secure the territorial waters of Homeland. While submarines are currently only two, namely KRI KRI Cakra/401 and Nanggala/402.

Let us look at the era of the triumph of the year 60'an Indonesia, President Soekarno, on submarines Tjandrasa, October 6, 1966, at the dock Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, said, "Once a dive, forward terus.Tiada road to arise, before winning, resilient until the end ... ". Well, the phrase "steadfast to the end" or Wira Ananta Rudhiro, that's the motto of the Navy submarine, operated since 1959.

RI Tjandrasa 408

Since August 1958, Indonesia sent 110 personnel to Eastern Europe, to Reijeka, Yugoslavia, the party proceeded by train to Polandia.Sembilan month they were trained by personnel of the Soviet Union to become a reliable submariners in Gdansk Poland at this time.

Finally two Whiskey class submarines that we buy come also to Indonesia through the Pacific Ocean on September 7, 1959. Two 76-meter long submarine armed with 12 torpedoes close to Surabaya. Both submarines are named KRI KRI Tjakra/S-01 and Nanggala/S-02. In addition, Indonesia ordered 10 new submarines of the same class of the Soviet Union.

Delivery of four submarines second wave conducted in December 1961, and named Nagabanda RI, RI Trisula, Nagarangsang RI, and RI Tjandrasa. A year later, came back, six-armed submarine torpedo type SEAT-50 fire and forget, this is the best in contemporary torpedoes, and only two countries that have, Indonesia and Russia.

KRI Tjakra 401

These six submarines was named Widjajadanu RI, RI Hendrajala, RI Bramasta, RI Pasopati, Tjundamani RI, and RI Alugoro. These twelve submarines were deployed in Operation Jayawijaya directly, as part of the echo Trikora. In addition to domestic, two submarines are also involved in the assignment in Pakistan, in October 1965. RI Nagarangsang dispatched under the command Captain Seaman Basuki, and commanded by Captain Seaman RI Bramasta Sudirdjo Jasin. At that time, the India-Pakistan war is involved. At that time the term KRI still called the RI.

Maneuver 12 Dutch Submarine Force Lift Leg Affairs of Papua

RI submarine fleet joined in the operation to take forcible Jayawijaya Dutch-controlled Papua in 1962, contributed greatly and become a major deterrent force ciutnya guts Dutch fighter. Beginning with the arrival of the first two submarines from Russia via Poland RI arrived on 12 September 1959 from Whiskey class of 401 and KRI KRI Chakras Nanggala 403. Next came another four submarines in the month of January 1962 still of the same class, namely KRI Nagabanda 407, 402 Trisula KRI, KRI KRI Nagarangsang Candrasa 408 and 404.

Last kloter submarine received a six month ie December 1962 Wijayadanu KRI 409, 405 Hendrajala KRI, KRI Bramastra 412, 410 Pasopati KRI, KRI KRI Alugoro Cundamani 411 and 406. The last six submarines is actually departs from Vladivostok in Russia in July 1962 but when it arrived in Sulawesi sea waters was ordered directly to waters of Papua via Morotai and immediately manned by Russian sailors. Own crew of the Navy had in fact joined the submarine crew training in Vladivostok, and back to Surabaya on a ship passenger. That's why this transfer of six new submarines conducted in December 1962 in Surabaya when Trikora conflict is over.

Why is that, because the Mandala Command is preparing a joint amphibious operation to invade Biak in July 1962 with a target date of August 17, 1962 the flag was hoisted on earth could Papua. Once the instruction of President Sukarno in the Mandala as Commander Major General Suharto. Long before the big day, the submarine maneuvers RI makes the Dutch fleet was racing because it's the Whiskey Class ghostly sea, there was not sound much less visible.

RI submarine operations of secrecy is very concerned about the Dutch fleet guarding the waters of Papua. The Netherlands is superior in electronic information and intelligence information in this conflict, but powerless against maneuvering submarine fleet RI. Monster-like figure who fired a torpedo at any time up to the most modern lethal at the time. RI submarine fleet played a major role in infiltrating troops into mainland Papua. One Special Forces commando infiltration operations through KRI Tjandrasa submarine successfully landed 15 commandos at bay Tanah Merah Indonesia Papua mid-August 1962.
True Dutch still expect help from the U.S. and Australia in maintaining its presence in Papua in the event of open war with Indonesia. However, based on intelligence information that made ​​the U.S. 7th Fleet, based in Subic Bay Philippines, Indonesia versus open conflict between the Dutch would embarrass the Europeans / West as it allows Indonesia (as a nation Asia) will win the bloodiest battles of this, if it occurs.

Persiapan operasi

At the same time the U.S. also was fighting in the Vietnam War, the U.S. certainly did not want to open a second front to help the Dutch as allies during this time. Monitoring results are astonishing images of the U.S. that Indonesia is preparing a massive invasion to Biak. At least in the Gulf of Peleng (Sulawesi) has prepared nearly a hundred warships RI combatan good, troop transport, logistics and tanker. While a hundred combat aircraft Mig 15, Mig 17, Mig 19, Mig 21 and Il-28 bombers and Tu-16 was on stand by at the base Madiun, Makassar, Manado, Morotai, Ambon, Tual. Of all the strength of the GoI fangs that time, the submarine force 12 passing in the waters north of Papua from May to August 1962 was the center of terror led by the Dutch fleet aircraft carrier Karel Doorman.

RI submarine fleet strength is centered in the bay Kupa-Kupa North Maluku is a strategic unit located outside hitter convoy warships of RI. This unit first moves, stealth, seek and find the most advanced and fired torpedoes at the time SAET-50 homing torpedoes at each ship they encountered the Dutch war. Dutch warship fleet were unable to detect the presence of Whiskey Class RI because kesenyapannya sit at a depth of 150 meters for days.

Time goes on, the preparation of open war intensified, the D-Day invasion had set August 12, 1962, the submarine maneuvers RI increasingly active in conducting surveillance operations against targets. Infiltration of troops by air are increasingly being performed as part of the eyes and ears in the bag during the raid enemy later.

Dutch fear with this critical situation and the statement of President John F. Kennedy's order to leave Papua Netherlands provides fresh air for RI diplomacy led by Adam Malik. A few days before the date of August 17, 1962 Dutch agree to ceasefire codenamed Light Clouds. By GOI official ceasefire into effect on August 18, 1962 but the new Mandala Command treats Light Clouds on August 25, 1962. History then records submitted to Papua Indonesia through the United Nations called UNTEA (United Nations Temporary Execution Authorities).

Stages October 1, 1962 Flag of the Netherlands revealed in Papua, is replaced with the UN flag. Dated October 2, 1962 the Dutch flag was raised again with the flag of the United Nations until 31 December 1962. Flag fluttering January 1, 1963 with the flag of the United Nations later on May 1, 1963 the UN flag is lowered, the flag flying alone, the official land of Papua marker back to the bosom of Mother Earth.

Historical records prove that the key to the approval or diplomacy, one of them through the support of military force as a deterrent. It is not possible to achieve the consent of Papua refund if Indonesia does not build up military forces on a large scale at that time included the presence of 12 stealth submarines that deter it.

Navy Submarine Museum

Now, the strength of the Navy only remaining two-class submarine U-209 made ​​in West Germany, namely KRI KRI Cakra/401 and Nanggala/402, which was imported in 1981. It was the elderly. But do not forget to be maintained even seem improvised, but the technology allegedly used in the upgrade. The rest became part of the history of the struggle of the Indonesian nation and enshrined in the Navy museum in Surabaya. But what power there is no rattan, roots were so. As President Sukarno, "Steadfast Until the End".
