Operational history
editThe 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 is operational as of 2007.[1]
