MAKAR WHARF, General Santos City (DWDD) – The two Indonesian Navy ships- KRI SULTAN HASANUDDIN-366 and KRI SULTAN ISKANDAR MUDA-367 left Makar Wharf, General Santos City after a successfull Goodwill Visit.
The two warship held a public viewing last October 31, 2017 with almost 2,300 visitors as part of their visit in the city.
Majority of the visitors were locals of General Santos City who were able to undergo ships’ tour inside the two ships and interact with the Indonesian Navy officers and personnel during the tour.
The two Diponegoro-class corvette combat vessels namely: KRI Sultan Hasanuddin – 366 and KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda – 367 arrived, October 29. They are also here for the ongoing Unilateral Fleet Training Exercise of the Naval Forces Eastern Mindanao.
KRI Sultan Hasanuddin was named after Sultan Hasanuddin Tumenanga Ri Balla Pangkana, the 16th Ruler of The Sultanate of Gowa as Sombaya Ri Gowa XVI from 1653 to 1669. He was proclaimed as Indonesian National Hero on November 6, 1973. The Dutch called Sultan Hasanuddin “the fighting cock of the East” as he was described as aggressive in battle.
KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda is named after the 12th Sultan of Aceh. He was quite the bellicose sailor himself and kicked the tripe out of the Portuguese once or twice. He’s still fondly remembered by the people of Aceh and has plenty of things named after him, including this boat and the Aceh airport.
All the Indonesian Navy Vessels are named with the KRI Initial (Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia) which means Navy Vessel of the Republic Of Indonesia. The class are often named after lead ships.. AES/ Photo Credits: PAO-NFEM
