07:00 The Malay Patrol plan spots 3 Indonesian ships to the NW.
07:15 RMNS Jamils launches two of her long range Otomat SSMs @ KRI 374
The first missile is decoyed by chaff towards KRI Siahaan and is shot down at the last minute by AA fire.
The second hits KRI 374 and detonates her magazine.
RMNS Jamil turns south to maintain the range while RMN Jebat and RMN Perkasa attempt to close.
The Indonesian Captain sends the patrol boat Singa forward to find the Malays.
Which she does at 07:45. With both fleets now lighting each other up an missile exchange begins.
KRI Sudarso to the north remains hidden.
The Patrol plane nervously stays on station as it is passed by missiles going both ways!
Brave KRI Singa, being the closest "blimp" is targeted and hit by an Exocet which sinks her.
RMN Perkasa is hit and left dead in the water by an Exocet.
A SSM is shot down by KRI 373 and yet another by AA fire by Siahaan.
At 08:00 a Harpoon from KRI Sudarso hits and begins a fire on RMNS Jebat. With two ships crippled and 3 Indonesian ships closing Jamil is ordered to withdraw.
