"We will soon another warship KRI Hasanuddin (HSN)-366 to replace KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda (SIM)-367 which planned to return to Indonesia, for a six-month mission in Lebanon," Indonesian Military Chief Admiral Agus Suhartono said after welcoming the Maritime Task Force (MTF) of the Indonesian contingent Garuda XXVIII-C/UNIFIL from Lebanon at Tanjung Priok port, North Jakarta, Monday.
The Maritime Task Force Garuda Contingent will have 100 naval servicemen consisting of 33 officers, 48 non-commissioned officers and 19 enlisted personnel. This would be the third task force sent to Lebanon following KRI Frans Kaisepo-368 and KRI Diponegoro-365 grouped in the Maritime Task Force.
KRI SIM-367 after completing its task for six months in Lebanon will be replaced by KRI Hasanuddin (HSN)-363 which was scheduled to leave in May 2012.
He said KRI Hasanuddin-366 also has 100 servicemen as it has the same weight as KRI SIM-367.(IGT/T007)
