Secret Operations
in Pakistani Waters​

That days the atmosphere in Jakarta and other cities was still somber and gray. Only a few days passed the news about the killing of Army generals shaking the country. A memorial service for the Armed Forces on October 5, 1965 which was originally to be held massively was canceled.

Navy battleships, including a fleet of submarines that had docked at Tanjung Priok Base in Jakarta, were repatriated back to their "home" in Surabaya. Just arrived in Surabaya, Rear Admiral Purn. R.M. Handogo still remembered very well that suddenly an order came to immediately face the Commodore Lalu Manambai Abdulkadir. Together with Captain Basuki, he hurried off to Jakarta using a Garuda plane. A very special facility at that time.

In a meeting at the Gita Bahari Building, Tanjung Priok, Abdulkadir appointed Handogo to be the Commander of the Republic of Indonesia Bramastra. While Captain (P) Basuki led RI Nagarangsang. "We were instructed to bring the two ships to Karachi, Pakistan," Handogo said as he told the story to DetikX last Thursday.

Commodore Abdulkadir also warned the two officers to keep the assignment a secret. Even the crew cannot be told where to go. "All the letters from the ship must also be collected by the commander," said Handogo. "The route must also avoid the merchant shipping lines."

After returning to Surabaya there seems to be a change. Handogo, who was originally appointed as the Indonesian Commander of Bramastra, eventually became Chief of Staff of Task Force X. Task Force X was formed as a joint training task force with the Pakistani Navy under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel (P) Tedy Asikin Natanegara. "It turns out that its main task is to help the Pakistani state fighting with India," said Handogo.

At that time, Pakistan and India only underwent a ceasefire after fighting a bloody battle for nearly 20 days. Both India and Pakistan are exerting all-out troops and war machines in combat at sea, on land, also in the air. It is estimated that nearly 7,000 Indian and Pakistani soldiers were killed in the crossfire. After the United Nations, the United States and the Soviet Union, intervened, the two countries withdrew their armies and war machines on September 23, 1965.

Task Force X operations began on October 17, 1965. The Indonesian Navy was dispatched in addition to submarines, namely two rocket speed ships, four torpedo speed boats and five amphibious tanks stationed in Chittagong, East Pakistan which later became Bangladesh. "Also joined was a battalion of marines," said Handogo, who held his last position as Deputy Operations Deputy Chief of Staff Navy Admiral M. Romly.

From Surabaya, the two submarines were ordered to Jakarta to prepare for a long journey. Before leaving, two Pakistani Navy officers joined them as liaison officers. Major Yastur Malik for RI Nagarangsang and Captain M. Sultan for RI Bramastra. Later Yastur Malik became the highest leader in the Pakistani Navy, as well as M. Sultan leading the Bangladesh Navy.

Apparently the trip to Karachi was not as smooth as planned. Rear Admiral (Ret) Soentoro, who was then serving at RI Nagarangsang as a Navigation Officer, said that during the 19-day voyage of the ship, he was experiencing various damage.

The most significant damage, Soentoro said, occurred in compressors used to fill high pressure air. This high pressure air is very important for the process to surface from the diving position. "Repair of the compressor was not successful, even the other compressor was damaged," said Soentoro, quoted from the book 50 Years of Devotional Service of the 1959-2009 Kencana Shark.

The damage made RI Nagarangsang unable to dive. Even though the destination port is still very far away. "We only pray that diesel engines will not die," wrote Soentoro. The journey finally continued with limited conditions. "Luckily we met with the Pakistani Navy even though they missed tens of miles from the specified point."

Arriving at the Pakistan Navy Base, RI Nagarangsang immediately received repairs. War training with the Pakistani Navy began after two speedboats of the Indonesian Navy joined in. Several times the exercise was held off the coast of Pakistan which borders directly with the Indian sea area.

The Indian-Pakistan war situation subsided when warships and ALRI soldiers were in the region. In fact, the two warring countries finally signed a peace treaty in Tashkent, the Soviet Union (now Uzbekistan), on January 10, 1966. "Most likely due to the influence of our presence, it could have prevented greater disputes," Handogo said.

Task Force X's operation officially ended in March 1966. Before leaving Karachi the officers were specially invited by Pakistani President Ayub Khan to the Presidential Palace. While shaking hands one by one Ayub Khan expressed his appreciation to all members of Task Force X. "If there were no Indonesian soldiers, Pakistan might not have been existed," Handogo said, imitating President Ayub Khan's remarks.
