Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Navy will rejuvenate 41 warships based on the Defense Ministry's plan to do so, Naval Chief of Staff, Admiral Muhammad Ali, informed after a flower-sowing ceremony commemorating Dharma Samudera Day 2023 on Monday.

"There will be refurbishment of our warships, especially the old ones, and some of them will undergo mid-life modernization. The Defense Ministry's plan is (to rejuvenate) 41 ships," he added on the main deck of state warship KRI Banda Aceh-593 at the Command of Military Sea Traffic headquarters in Jakarta.

In the first phase, the Navy will prioritize the refurbishment of 8 very old ships. "We will prioritize very old ships that have to be repaired, there are probably 8 of them," Ali said.

The warship rejuvenation plan will consider the capacity of existing shipyards in Indonesia, both those owned by state enterprises and the private sector. This is because the Navy wants to involve domestic shipyards in the revitalization of old warships.

"(The rejuvenation) of 41 ships will be carried out in the country. We will prioritize and involve all domestic shipyards in the construction of warships," he said.

According to him, a similar commitment will be made to strengthen the Navy's military armament system, for instance, in the procurement of snipers and drones.

Ali revealed that his party is still mulling over the best armament that has been offered to the Navy.

"We can buy more sophisticated equipment from overseas, but we still put domestic products first," he said.

Moreover, if it purchases a military armament system from abroad, the Navy will include the transfer of knowledge and technology in the agreement.

In modernizing and improving the combat capabilities of the 41 warships, the Defense Ministry will cooperate with state-owned naval shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia.

Earlier, on January 3, Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto instructed his staff to add more state warships that need to be modernized to maintain the country's defense system.

Hmmm what kind of question it is, submerged reef even can be used as territorial parts marker boundaries for maritime countries per UNCLOS statutory, that's why China and Vietnam insisted to reclamation projects to ensure their holding in South China Sea. Let alone a clearly sinking islands which has been Mark as water boundaries.

Instead of frigates, we use tanker to patrol the border, (i know i know because that ship is already prepared to be sailed and there is immediate call to go to the border) but i never heard any other navy to do the same, especially to guard and patrol the sea with a tanker, different doctrine, different condition, and different situation, ofcourse

Navy already explained why they use oiler in Natuna: https://www.cnnindonesia.com/nasion...na-minim-armada-kurang-solar-hingga-kapal-tua

IMO, I don't really care for the type of ships used for peacetime ops like this as long as they can deliver results (continuous presence, etc)

Ofcourse, but every type of ships has it's own task and function, we can't always rely on tanker and other auxiliary ships to do this kind of mission, also we can't predict if something suddenly goes really bad, such as massive intrusion and ramming to other ship, like what happened with Viet Coast Guard couple years ago, it was lucky the one on deployment was a corvette, has it's own gun and stuff, but what if the one they rammed was this very tanker, we can't assure that it will return safe either.

That's why KRI Bontang is not the only warship that we deployed there

You can see Thailand actually can order new hull with European system and even put American weapon on their Naresuan class
My question is not about it's doable or not but are they planning for it?
