Rasanya sudah banyak yang tahu bahwa kembalinya Irian Barat ke pangkuan Ibu Pertiwi tak terlepas dari jasa show of force armada militer RI dikala itu. Dari sekian banyak arsenal tempur yang dijagokan untuk merontokan nyali Belanda, bisa disebut unsur armada kapal selam adalah yang paling ditakuti Belanda. Alasannya jelas, RI dikala itu menjadi satu-satunya negara di belahan dunia selatan yang memiliki 12 kapal selam kelas Whisky. Saat itu Whisky class merupakan kapal selama diesel yang amat ditakuti oleh blok NATO. Belanda pun saat itu tak memiliki kapal selam dengan spesifikasi yang sama untuk menandingi Whisky class.
Dari 12 kapal selam Whisky class yang dimiliki TNI-AL, KRI Pasopati 410 bisa disebut yang paling kondang disebut-sebut. Pasalnya, Pasopati adalah kapal selam terakhir yang beroperasi. Pasca gestapu, Rusia melakukan embargo suku cadang militer ke Indonesia, akibatnya armada kapal selam TNI –AL perlahan mulai mati akibat kurangnya suku cadang. Langkah kanibalisasi suku cadang terus dilakukan, dan yang terakhir beroperasi adalah KRI Pasopati. Pasopati tercatat baru dinonaktifkan dari jajaran TNI-AL pada 25 Januari 1990.
Whisky class mulai diproduksi tahun 1952 di Vladi Rusia. Dan mulai masuk jajaran TNI AL (Satselarmatim) tanggal 29 Januari 1962 dengan tugas pokok menghancurkan garis lintas musuh (anti shipping), mengadakan pengintaian dan melakukan “silent raids”. Saat ini KRI Pasopati ditempatkan sebagai monumen kapal selam di kota Surabaya sejak tahun 1998.

Istilah-Istilah Penanganan Muatan & Transportasi Laut
Despatch adalah pengiriman; lamanya kapal singgah di pelabuhan; penyelesaian pemuatan atau pembongkaran lebih cepat dari waktu yang disetujui. Despatch Money adalah uang kompensasi despatch.
Deviation Clause adalah keterlambatan kapal yang disebabkan oleh perubahan track atau haluan kapal untuk menghindari bahaya navigasi yang mengancam. Keterlambatan karena perubahan haluan kapal tersebut ditanggung oleh kedua belah pihak (shipper dan carrier). Direct B/L adalah B/L mengenai muatan yang ditujukan ke pelabuhan tertentu.
Displacement = Berat benaman adalah adalah berat zat cair yang dipindahkan oleh kapal itu, atau hasil penjumlahan dari berat kapal kosong (light displacemen) dan Dead Weight. Disponent Owners adalah pencharter yang menyewakan kembali kapal yang dicharternya dari ship’s owner. Dock Water Allowance (DWA) adalah perubahan draft rata-rata jika kapal berlayar dari air payau ke air laut, atau sebaliknya.

uss kittyhawk pertama kali dipesan pada oktober 1955 dan mulai dibuat pada desember 1956 oleh new york shipbuilding corporation. Dia diluncurkan pada mei 1960 dan secara resmi dioperasikan pada april tahun berikutnya. Kitty hawk mempunyai homeport di puget sound naval shipyard dan dijadwalkan akan dipensiunkan pada 2009. Kapal induk ini kemungkinan besar akan menjadi museum terapung as atau ada kemungkinan dijual ke india.

The anchor parts
- The shank is the stem of the anchor in which direction is pulled to set (bury) the anchor.
- The crown connects the various parts of the modern anchor.
- The stock turns the anchor into an attitude that enables the flukes to dig into the sea bed.
- The tripping ring is used for the optional tripping line: by pulling the tripping line, the anchor will break out.
- The flukes will be buried into the seabed. The very tip of a fluke is sometimes called the bill.
Four anchors for sailing yachts
Criteria for anchor selection
- reliability to set
- holding power
- ability to withstand veering (i.e. resetting qualities)
- susceptibility to damage

National flags or ensigns
The vessel’s national flag – not necessarily the same nationality as the skipper or owner – should be displayed at the stern of the yacht; however on traditional yachts, placement on the main leech or gaff is historically more correct. If the crew’s nationality differs from that of the yacht, the crew’s national flag can be flown under the courtesy flag at the starboard spreader. Likewise the nationality of an important guest on board is displayed this way. Note that the European flag should not be used, since it doesn’t refer to a nation. Flag and ensign are synonymous. The name ensign is derived from the French enseigne and Latin plural insignia
Courtesy flags
When in foreign waters the courtesy ensign, often the national flag of that country, is hoisted under the starboard spreader of the most forward mast. On a mastless powerboat, the courtesy flag replaces any flag that is normally flown at the bow.
Like the national flags or ensigns, the courtesy flag is hoisted at 08:00 local time and lowered at sunset. Yet, when manoeuvring – for example entering or leaving port – the national flags should be flown even at night until your ship is out of sight or safely at dock.

Lines of position
The modern chart shows us positions of many recognizable aids to navigation like churches and lighthouses, which facilitate the approach to a coastal area. This concept originated from a chart by Waghenaer
and proved a milestone in the development of European cartography. This work was called “Spieghel der Zeevaerdt” and included coastal profiles and tidal information much like the modern chart. It enables us to find the angle between the North and for example an offshore platform, as seen from our position.
Compass courses |
True courses |
Taking a bearing on this oil rig with a compass provides us with a compass course. This course first needs correction for both variation and – via ship’s heading – deviation before plotting a Line of Position (LOP) in the chart as a true course. Our position is somewhere along this line.

Aids to navigation
Aids to navigation are special structures like lighthouses, lightships, beacons, buoys, etc that are used to enhance safety by providing more opportunities to obtain LOPs.
These lights and marks are prescribed across the world by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). In 1977 this IALA endorsed two maritime buoyage systems putting an end to the 30 odd systems existing at that time. Region A – IALA A covers all of Europe and most of the rest of the world, whereas region B – IALA B covers only the Americas, Japan, the Philippines and Korea. Fortunately, the differences between these two systems are few. The most striking difference is the direction of buoyage.
All marks within the IALA system are distinguished by:
- Shape
- Colour
- Topmark
- Light
Light identification
During daytime, the identification of aids to navigation is accomplished by observing: location, shape, colour scheme, auxiliary features (sound signals, RACON, RC, etc) or markings (name, number, etc).
During the night, we use the features of the aid to navigation’s light to both identify it and ascertain its purpose. There are three features to describe the light:
- Colour: Either white, red, green or yellow. If no colour is stated in the chart, default is white.

Projections
The nautical chart is a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional world. And although this results in various distortions, as long as two requirements are met we can use this image for navigational purposes.
- The angles between three objects in the chart should be the same as the angles between the real objects which they represent.
- A straight course should appear as a straight line in the chart.
To fulfil these demands a nautical chart requires parallels and meridians that are both straight and parallel. Moreover, the meridians will need to be perpendicular to the parallels.
A well known method to create such a chart is called the Mercator projection after Gerard “Mercator” Kremer, a Flemish scholar who studied in ‘s Hertogenbosch (the Netherlands) and Leuven (now Belgium) and who invented his famous projection in 1569.
The Mercator chart was designed for sailors and can be constructed by wrapping a cylinder around the planet so that it touches the equator. On this cylinder the surface of the earth is projected and finally the cylinder is cut open to yield the 2-dimensional chart.
But where the meridians converge on the globe they run parallel in the projection (see chart below), indicating the distortion. Look, for example, at a high parallel. The length of such a parallel on the globe is much smaller than the equator. Yet, on the chart they have exactly the same length creating a distortion which gets bigger nearer to the poles. The figure below shows the construction of the Mercator projection. From this it is clear that only the vertical scales should be used for measuring distances.
