history
Background : Nakhoda Ragam contract disputes
First, the three ships were the corvettes of the Nakhoda Ragam- class of BAE Systems Marine (now - BAE Systems Maritime Naval Ships built for the Royal Brunei Navy). The contract was at 1,995 GEC-Marconi been awarded and the ships, a variant of the F2000, ran in January 2001, June 2001 and June 2002 in the former shipyard BAE Systems Marine in Scotstoun , Glasgow from the stack .
However, Brunei refused to accept the three Nakhoda Ragam class corvettes from BAE Systems. The contractual disputes were settled in arbitration in favor of BAE System. The ships were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007 . Brunei commissioned the German Lürssen shipyard to find a new customer for the three ships, which were ultimately bought by the Indonesian Navy for a fifth of the original unit price .
Todays use
As of 2017, the ships are in service with the Indonesian Navy.
The ships are armed with MBDA Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles and MBDA Sea Wolf short-range anti- aircraft missiles . The main armament consists of an Oto Melara 76 mm and two remote-controlled 30mm DS30M Mark 2 on-board cannons. The ships also have two triple torpedo tubes each and a landing platform for a Eurocopter AS 565 Panther helicopter .
Naming
The ships were christened KRI Usman Harun , KRI Bung Tomo and KRI John Lie in memory of the services they had rendered to the Indonesian nation.
Usman and Harun were members of the KKO (Operations Corps Command), which has since been renamed the TNI Navy Marines Corps . Usman and Harun were members of a special unit that infiltrated Singapore from 1963 to 1966 during the Indonesian confrontation against Malaysia. Bung Tomo was a leader of the Indonesian resistance movement against the allied British and Dutch forces at the Battle of Surabaya on November 10, 1945.
John Lie was a Peranakan-Chinese independence fighter and commander of a ship called The Outlaw . Lie smuggled agricultural products from Sumatra to Phuket, Malacca, and other parts of Malaya to buy weapons for the Indonesian independence movement from 1945 to 1949.
Name disputes
Singapore Foreign Minister Kasiviswanathan Shanmugam complained in Jakarta that the Indonesian KRI Usman Harun was named after two Indonesian marines Usman Hj Mohd Ali and Harun Said , who planted and detonated a bomb at MacDonald House in Singapore on March 10, 1965 .
They had been convicted of killing three people and injuring 33 others in the bomb explosion. They were then executed in Singapore. Singapore had actually considered this difficult chapter of bilateral relations to be over in May 1973, after the then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew visited the graves of the two Marines and decorated them with flowers.
Important missions
At the end of December 2014, KRI Bung Tomo was involved in search and recovery tasks after the crash of Indonesia AirAsia flight 8501 in the Java Sea between the islands of Belitung and Borneo . Shortly afterwards, in early January 2015, the KRI Usman Harun ran out to search for the black box flight recorders , as the ship is equipped with Thales Underwater Systems TMS 4130C1 mounted on the hull .
Post-history
Brunei ordered four Darussalam- class ocean patrol boats from Lürssen after the shipyard had sold the Nakhoda-Ragam- class corvettes . The first two ships were delivered in January 2011. The second lot with two more ships was delivered in 2014.
