Fajarasia.co – The Navy Chief of Staff (Kasal) Admiral Yudo Margono said that Bung Karno had a strong maritime vision.
This was said by Admiral Yudo after the Chair of the Steering Committee of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri inaugurated the labeling of the Indonesian Navy’s (TNI) corvette ship with the name KRI Bung Karno.
“The name of the proclaimer on this warship is not without reason. Bung Karno is a great figure with a very strong maritime vision. His aspiration is to bring the Indonesian people to become a nation of sailors in the broadest sense,” said Admiral TNI Yudo in the building Balai Samudera, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, Monday (20/6/2022).
Yudo said Bung Karno had inspired him because he was the carrier of the concept of naval weaponry in use today.
“That is the integrated fleet weapon system (SSAT), which consists of warships, aircraft, marines and bases. All of these are not owned by other navy. The SSAT has only the Indonesian navy for the services of Bung Karno,” explained Yudo.
“After we read and saw the photo in front, it turns out that all this time the SSAT owned by the Navy from warships, aircraft, marines and bases was thanks to him,” he continued.
According to him, many should know that the SSAT was a blessing from Bung Karno’s struggle.
“So far we don’t have a KRI named Bung Karno. With his blessing, with his permission to name Bung Karno,” he continued.
Megawati carried out the inauguration of the labeling of the Indonesian Navy’s corvette ship with the name KRI Bung Karno during the TNI AL Mental Development Workshop and Shipnaming KRI Bung Karno-369 at the Ocean Hall Building, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.
The event was also attended by the Chief of Naval Staff (Kasal) Admiral Yudo Margono along with 200 Indonesian Navy soldiers consisting of the main officers of the Headquarters, the Commander of the Kotama TNI AL, the Heads of the Headquarters Service, the Unit Commanders, the KRI Commander and the Marine Battalion Commander throughout the Jakarta Area. .
Present to accompany Megawati, the Secretary General of the PDI-P DPP Dr. Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP General Treasurer Olly Dondokambey. The Head of BPIP Yudian Wahyudi was also seen.****
