If you find yourself fighting for independence and you need, say, a submarine, hit up the Russians. Indonesia needed a sub, the Russians had a few of them floating around after WWII and they were looking to strengthen an alliance. Take my Pasopati, please.
Today the submarine is on proud dry dock display in Surabaya. Time to tour the big tube.
The Pasopati is painted and polished.
Inside, a warren of machinery and cables. Forward torpedo tubes and periscope area maze of wiring and gauges.
Labeling, Russian.
Interesting bunk contrast. On the left, the officers' sleep area. Looks rough. On the right, bunks for enlisted men. Looks rougher.
The submarine doesn't move until the big diesel starts turning. He gets his own, spacious room.
