KRI Bima Suci, the new 110 meter tall ship for Indonesian Navy

Bima Suci, demikianlah nama Kapal Republik Indonesia yang akan menggantikan KRI Dewa Ruci.

Di dalam perut sebuah galangan yang dibangun oleh pria Spanyol bernama Paulino Freire tahun 1895, di kota Vigo, KRI Bima Suci dirangkai dan dipersiapkan untuk meneruskan legenda dan kejayaan sarana pelatihan taruna TNI Angkatan Laut.

Kata bhīma dalam bahasa Sanskerta artinya kurang lebih adalah hebat, dahsyat, mengerikan. Nama julukan yang lain adalah Bhīmasena yang berarti panglima perang. Bima memiliki sifat gagah berani, teguh, kuat, tabah, patuh dan jujur, serta menganggap semua orang sama derajatnya, sehingga dia digambarkan tidak pernah menggunakan bahasa halus (krama inggil) atau pun duduk di depan lawan bicaranya. Bima melakukan kedua hal ini (bicara dengan bahasa krama inggil dan duduk) hanya ketika menjadi seorang resi dalam lakon Bima Suci, dan ketika dia bertemu dengan Dewa Ruci.

Bima juga memiliki pakaian yang melambangkan kebesaran, yaitu: Gelung Pudaksategal, Pupuk Jarot Asem, Sumping Surengpati, Kelatbahu Candrakirana, ikat pinggang Nagabanda dan Celana Cinde Udaraga.

Untuk pertama kalinya semenjak mulai dibangun, KRI Bima Suci akan menampakkan dirinya. Belum sempurna tentunya.

Dari empat tradisi yang melekat pada setiap pembangunan kapal Angkatan Laut yaitu peletakan lunas (keel laying), peluncuran (launching), peresmian kapal (commissioning) dan purnatugas (decommissioning), Bima Suci baru akan memasuki tahapan keduanya.

26 buah layar belum lagi terkembang. Indah dan gagahnya Bima Suci –sesuai dengan arti namanya- belum akan terlihat secara sempurna. Namun bukan berarti Bima Suci tak akan kelihatan gagah. Salutan warna putih sudah tersolek indah di sekujur tubuh Sang Legenda.

Tak berapa lama lagi, Bima Suci akan dilengkap dengan tiga tiang utama, lengkap dengan layar yang akan membawanya ke seluruh antero jagad untuk membanggakan Indonesia di mata dunia.

Dibanding pendahulunya, Bima Suci memiliki sejumlah keunggulan. 26 lembar layar akan terpasang, sementara Dewa Ruci hanya berhiaskan 16 layar.

Demikian pula dengan fasilitas di dalam kapal. Bima Suci dirancang memiliki kelas tempat para taruna belajar dan berlatih selama Operasi Kartika Jala Krida. Kelas apik nan mewah tersebut, bisa menampung 100 orang taruna.

Tak hanya itu, Bima Suci juga memiliki sebuah ballroom bersalutkan nuansa kayu berukuran 11 x 10,5 meter lengkap dengan perangkat multi media.

Keunggulan lain Bima Suci dari “saudara tuanya” adalah kamar-kamar modern untuk 203 personel yang mengawal “Sang Panglima Perang” kemanapun ia berlayar.

Sementara dari dapur pacu, Bima Suci bisa melaju membelah samudera dengan kecepatan 12 knot jika menggunakan mesin. Sedangkan jika ingin “bersantai” dengan layar-layar terkembang gagah, kapal ini bisa melaju lebih cepat yaitu 15 knot. Bima Suci juga sanggup berlayar 30 hari tanpa mengisi bahan bakar.

Dengan 5 buah dek, 7 kompartemen dan 48 blok, KRI Bima Suci siap untuk meneruskan tradisi kejayaan kapal latih tiang tinggi Angkatan Laut Indonesia.

Tak banyak orang yang akan menyaksikan momen dimana Bima Suci “turun ke laut” tanggal 17 Oktober 2016 nanti. Beberapa pejabat tinggi negara termasuk dari TNI AL, pejabat dari galangan Freire serta beberapa individu dari Indonesia akan mendapat kehormatan menyaksikan momen membanggakan tersebut.

Bima Suci akan mejadi “panglima perang” yang baru bagi para taruna Angkatan Laut yang akan berlayar bersamanya. Sejatinya, teruna-teruna muda Indonesia tersebut, pada akhirnya akan mewarisi semua sifat Bima Suci yaitu gagah berani, teguh, kuat, tabah, patuh dan jujur, serta rendah hati.

Bima Suci segera menyapa samudera, demi kebanggaan Ibu Pertiwi nan mulia. Arungi dunia membawa segumpal asa, tak lain hanya untuk Indonesia. Sapuan gelombang jangan surutkan jiwa, bertarunglah wahai teruna muda. Hempasan angin urung patahkan raga, berdirilah di atas layar nan membahana.

My friend... war not only won by guns... we also need the spirit of the people to participate in anyway they can in turmoil time of war...
Just like the the england youth action in WW2... they voluntarily knocked on every door in britain just to collect pans to be melt into gunshells...
Implanting the idea that we are in the same state of crisis is also important...
every indonesian have spirit to defend their homeland, if you say we need weapon training in case of war we have menwa
or resimen mahasiswa

Finally done on reading that piece :

It's good news and good work. The main aspect is in the phrasing of the
last sentence :
a new experience for LAPAN to unify perceptions of both parties, in order to find synergy of good cooperation and mutual benefit.
Considering what was brought to light earlier about Indonesian side working by
production unit while the French went by thematic fields of research, it is more
than likely that equalizing the common ground to a unified perspective, while it
may seem a bit academic and managerial, will save a lot of money and avoid
many disagreements.

All the best to you and yours, Tay.

I do agree with you upon that... but nowadays... we kept on seeing 'alay' phenomenon among our youth... i am just hoping this program can somehow reduced the 'alay-ers'... future war is already begun in the form of spirit and mindset transition... our youth are losing their national identity little by little...

I think it's much more efficient (and has everlasting effect) by reenforcing PPKN on school curriculum from elementary to highschool. Bring back "Penataran P4" to school.

The U.S. military is dumping the dumbest uniform ever
navytimes(titik)com/story/military/2016/08/04/us-military-dumping-dumbest-uniform-ever/88048346/

The Navy is ready to dump the military's most pointless uniform
navytimes(titik)com/story/military/2016/04/23/navy-ready-dump-militarys-most-pointless-uniform/83247058/

"its camouflage is an open joke"

“the great camouflage it gives is if you fall overboard.”


The new US Navy uniform is now "digital woodland pattern cammies" as seen below gives more protection to any sailors who have to go on shore.

What about ours?

Our uniform is more grayish than blue which blends to the ship's color, but do we need to camouflage the crew when they're on board? If yes, then from who? The crew is not the target. The whole ship is the target. If the crew has to come onshore, the grey camouflage can not protect them. Unless the shore is full of grey rocks.

They are going to keep using the old pattern and colour... the colour distinct the navy from another military branch... self pride is more important in our armed forces than the truth and common sense...
