SORONG - Fleet Command (Koarmada) III presents two corvette-type warships, namely KRI Malahayati (362) and KRI Fatahillah (361) to strengthen defense in the Pacific sea.
Commander of Koarmada III Rear Admiral TNI Rachmad Jayadi explained the presence of the two warships to strengthen the passive sea defense because the strength of the warships owned by Koarmada III is currently small, so it is necessary to strengthen the fleet with adequate warships.
"Two warships, namely KRI Malahayati (362) and KRI Fatahillah (361) are ready to navigate all areas that are the responsibility of Koarmada III," said Rachmad, quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, May 21.
According to him, the condition of the Pacific Sea which is the working area of Koarmada III is very wide, thus requiring adequate fleets to maximize the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) from anything that could endanger the country.
"The area of Koarmada III is directly dealing with the Pacific sea, so it must be strengthened with a strong and adequate fleet," said Rachmad.
He said the KRI Malahayati (362) was the second ship of the TNI-AL class guided-missile type warship.
"The name Malahayati comes from the first female executive in the modern world who comes from Aceh," he said.
He explained that the KRI Malahayati had a magnitude of 1,450 tons, a length of 11,342 meters, a width of 1,251 meters, a draft of 457 meters, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and 82 crew members.
KRI Malahayati, according to him, a frigate made by the Wilton-Fijenoord shipyard, Schiedam, the Netherlands, in 1980 specifically for the TNI-A, and served as a fleet of beatings with anti-surface ship, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft capabilities. KRI Malahayati is included in the Fatahillah class with KRI Fatahillah (361) and KRI Nala (363).
Apart from KRI Malahayati, said Rachmad, there was KRI Fatahillah (361) which was the first ship of the destroyer Kawal Berbulan, Fatahillah class control belonging to the Indonesian Navy.
"The name Fatahillah was taken from a national hero who contributed to capturing Sunda Kelapa from the hands of the Portuguese and naming her Jayakarta," he said.
KRI Fatahillah, according to him, is a corvette made by the Wilton-Fijenoord shipyard, Schiedam, Netherlands, in 1979 specifically for the TNI-AL.
"This ship serves as a bat fleet with anti-surface, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft capabilities," said Rachmad.
