History

Ordered in 1975 from the Dutch shipyard Wilton-Fijenoord, the vessel was developed to modernize Indonesia's naval fleet and secure its vast territorial waters. The ship was launched in 1977 and officially commissioned into service in July 1979. Throughout its operational career, it has participated in numerous regional patrols and high-profile missions, including the search for the crashed Adam Air Flight 574 in 2007. Following a comprehensive mid-life upgrade completed in 2016 to modernize its combat and sensor systems, the vessel remains in active service today.
