Transfer To The Indonesian Navy
On 1 September 1971, Askari was decommissioned at Guam and turned over to the Indonesian government under the terms of the Military Assistance Program. The Indonesian Navy recommissioned her that same day as RI Djaja Widjaja. Because of her status as a loan, Askari remained on the Naval Vessel Register until February, 1979. At that time, her name was struck and she was permanently transferred to the Indonesian Navy by sale.

Famous quotes containing the words transfer, indonesian and/or navy:
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The inference is, that God has restated the superiority of the West. God always does like that when a thousand white people surround one dark one. Dark people are always “bad” when they do not admit the Divine Plan like that. A certain Javanese man who sticks up for Indonesian Independence is very lowdown by the papers, and suspected of being a Japanese puppet.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The Navy is the asylum for the perverse, the home of the unfortunate. Here the sons of adversity meet the children of calamity, and here the children of calamity meet the offspring of sin.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
