The 20 r. stamp shows in the foreground, the destroyer Silihwhangi (No. 201), built in Poland, a type similar to the "Skoryi" class of the U.S.S.R., displacing 2,600 tons (3,500 tons fully loaded). Overall length is 420 ft., breadth 41 ft., draft 13 ft. Armament consists of four 5.1 in. guns in twin turrets, two 3-in. A.A. and seven 37 m.m. A.A. guns, and ten 21-in, torpedo tubes. The destroyer carries 80 mines, and has a speed of 38 knots. She was bought by Indonesia in 1959. A similar destroyer appears in the background.
