The Indonesian Navy has received its second Brawijaya-class offshore patrol vessel (OPV) from Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri.
Named KRI Prabu Siliwangi (321), the ship is part of a 2023 initiative that enabled parts of the Italian Navy’s planned systems under its own ongoing OPV program to be sold to Jakarta.
The Prabu Siliwangi is now docked in Indonesia’s southern province of Lampung, where it will undergo final outfitting prior to commissioning.
The military is scheduled to admit the vessel into service in late March.
Indonesia’s Brawijaya System
Jakarta’s latest ship, alongside the KRI Brawijaya (320) that was delivered in 2025, is modeled after Italy’s Thaon di Revel-class OPVs and serves as the Southeast Asian country’s “largest and most advanced warship” to date.
Its hull design spans 143 meters (469 feet), incorporates a beam of 17 meters (56 feet), has space for up to 120 sailors, as well as a double-hangar architecture with a separate flight deck.
The vessel is equipped with a 43,000-horsepower gas-turbine engine, twin diesel engines with an output of 13,000 horsepower each, four diesel engine generators with a combined 2,200 horsepower, and two 1,810-horsepower electric engines.
It is armed with an electronic warfare suite, decoy launchers, a 127-millimeter rapid-fire naval gun, 76-millimeter air defense guns, 25-millimeter automatic cannons, and a vertical launch system for up to 16 missiles.
The platform sails at more than 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour and has a range of 5,000 nautical miles (9,260 kilometers/5,754 miles).
