Bima Suci became the largest sailing training ship built in Europe after World War II, and one of the largest active sailing ships in the world.
It was assumed that the new ship will come to replace the German-built Dewaruci training barquentine, which has been serving since 1953. But the latter, apparently, will remain for some time in the composition of the ships of the Naval Academy.
