“Prajurit Sapta Marga sejati, Hiu Kencana abadi. Demi kejayaan Nusa, rela mengorbankan jiwa. Bersemboyankan hiu kencana, tabah sampai akhir.” [A true Sapta Marga warrior (is) an eternal Hiu Kencana (golden shark), willing to sacrifice his life for the Nation\'s glory. May Hiu Kencana be forever more.”]
This is an excerpt from the lyrics of a marching song titled “Wiratama Hiu Kencana”, the pride of the Indonesian Navy’s Submarine Corps. The song offers encouragement while carrying out their duty to safeguard the archipelago\'s seas in the cold and in isolation. Their spirit never dies, and instead burns eternal.
