Nederlandsche Dok En Scheepsbouw Maatschappij
The Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Dutch: ''Netherlands dock and shipbuilding company''), was a shipbuilding and repair company based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, existing from 1946 to 1979. The area of about 80 hectares has since 2013 been transformed into a modern city district as a distinct part of Amsterdam-Noord and is still under development. The industrial wharfs and structures have been replaced by apartment buildings and hospitality industry, still called NDSM. Foundation Partnership turned into Public Company The company came into existence as a general partnership named Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM), founded by Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NSM) and Nederlandsche Dok Maatschappij (NDM) both from Amsterdam. On 27 February 1946 this partnership was confirmed by the shareholders of both companies. The partnership would soon be turned into the public company NDSM NV.

Dewantara-class Corvette
''Dewantara'' class is a class of frigate or corvette intended as training ship that were built in SFR Yugoslavia. Three ships were planned, with each ordered by Iraqi Navy, Indonesian Navy, and Yugoslav Navy. The Yugoslav ship was never completed,Gardiner, Chumbley & Budzbon 1995, p. 179 & 188 while the other two were commissioned in 1980 and 1981 respectively. Development Iraqi ''Ibn Khaldoum'' is the first ship in the class, which was laid down in 1977, launched in 1978, and commissioned on 20 March 1980. The Indonesian KRI ''Ki Hajar Dewantara'' was laid down on 11 May 1979, launched on 11 October 1980, and commissioned on 31 October 1981.Sharpe 1989, p. 266 & 282 The two ships had different machineries and weapons, with the Iraqi ship have more autocannons, while the Indonesian ship instead having helicopter deck in stern.

Marine Propulsion
Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water. While paddles and sails are still used on some smaller boats, most modern ships are propelled by mechanical systems consisting of an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving a propeller, or less frequently, in pump-jets, an impeller. Marine engineering is the discipline concerned with the engineering design process of marine propulsion systems. Human-powered paddles and oars, and later, sails were the first forms of marine propulsion. Rowed galleys, some equipped with sail, played an important early role in early human seafaring and warfares. The first advanced mechanical means of marine propulsion was the marine steam engine, introduced in the early 19th century. During the 20th century it was replaced by two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, outboard motors, and gas turbine engines on faster ships. Marine nuclear reactors, which appeared in the 1950s, pro ...

Steam Turbine
A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884. Fabrication of a modern steam turbine involves advanced metalwork to form high-grade steel alloys into precision parts using technologies that first became available in the 20th century; continued advances in durability and efficiency of steam turbines remains central to the energy economics of the 21st century. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency from the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible expansion process. Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it can be coupled to a generator to harness its motion into electricity. Such turbogenerators are the core of thermal power stations which can be fueled by fossil-fuels, ...

Battle Of Arafura Sea
The Battle of Arafura Sea ( id, Pertempuran Laut Aru), also known as the Battle of Vlakke Hoek ( nl, Slag bij Vlakke Hoek), was a naval battle in the Vlakke Hoek Bay (Etna Bay) of the Arafura Sea in Western New Guinea on January 15, 1962, between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The battle stopped an attempt by the Indonesian Navy to land 150 soldiers in Kaimana in Dutch New Guinea for sabotage and to incite the local population against the Dutch government. Commodore Yos Sudarso was in charge of the operation at sea, while Colonel Murshid commanded the infiltrators. Three Indonesian torpedo boats left the Aru Islands in the middle of the night but were intercepted near the New Guinea coast by a Dutch Neptune reconnaissance plane, as the Dutch had anticipated the action for weeks. The torpedo boats responded to the flares sent off by the plane by shooting at it. The Dutch destroyer HNLMS ''Evertsen'' then joined the scene and sank RI ''Matjan Tutul'', commanded by Sudarso. The othe ...
