The Indonesian Navy has recently acquired the state-of-the-art multipurpose combat ship, KRI PRABU SILIWANGI-321, from renowned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri. The delivery ceremony marked a significant milestone in enhancing the naval capabilities of Indonesia.

The PPA, a versatile surface combatant, boasts a wide range of operational capabilities, from frontline combat to search and rescue missions. With a length of 143 meters, the ship combines endurance and high performance, capable of speeds exceeding 31 knots for swift deployment. Its innovative design allows for rapid reconfiguration based on mission requirements, making it ideal for both warfare and humanitarian operations.

Italy’s Naval Act has led to an extension of the contract between Fincantieri and the Italian Navy, resulting in the construction of two additional multi-purpose combat ships. Originally intended for export to Indonesia, these vessels will now serve domestic purposes, replacing existing units. The contract, valued at €700 million, includes work completed prior to the change in destination.
