But they only operated old system, and to operates new system in the new ship will be quite a jump.They want to retire a lot of major platform actually and utilize the crews for newly build platform
There is at least 14 Parchim class and five Van Speijk class is in pending retirement program with Parchim having at least 80 crew to manned them and 180 for Van Speijk class. And there is also old major support ships like Teluk Amboina, Teluk Semangka class, Tanjung Kambani and Karang Pilang class also in pending retirement program
Actually Indonesia Navy had a lot of officers and crew to be spared
At least crews from REM class already operates relatively new and modern technology.
Won't be too gaptek.
