Design and construction

The ship was designed and constructed by Japanese shipbuilder Ishikawajima-Harima. [1] She was laid down at the company's Tokyo shipyard on 13 June 1961. [1] She was commissioned into the Indonesian Navy in August 1961. [2] Originally designed as a submarine support ship, Multatuli was converted into a fleet command ship for Eastern Command during the late 1960s. [1]

Multatuli displaces 3,220 tons, is 103 metres (338 ft) long between perpendiculars and 111.35 metres (365.3 ft) in length overall, has a beam of 16 metres (52 ft), and a draught of 6.98 metres (22.9 ft). [1] Propelled by a single Burmeister and Wain diesel engine providing 5,500 brake horsepower (4,100 kW), the vessel can reach a top speed of 18.5 knots (34.3 km/h; 21.3 mph), and has a range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,000 km; 6,900 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). [1] She is armed with six 37-millimetre (1.5 in) anti-aircraft guns in two single and two twin mounts, and four 14.7-millimetre (0.58 in) anti-aircraft guns in two twin mounts. [1] A 76-millimetre (3.0 in) gun was originally fitted aft, but this was replaced by a helicopter platform. [2] A hangar was added in 1998. [2] The ship's company is made up of 134 personnel. [1] The vessel is capable of providing replenishment at sea. [2]
