This morning enthusiast put this video shown KRI Sriwijaya still anchoring in Jakarta bay after leaving it's berth in Tanjung Priok Harbour. The carrier not leaving yet to new destination whether it's new home at Lampung Bay or to Surabaya (potentially begin it's refurbishment at PAL).

Indication that Fincantieri and PAL will begin the modification and refurbishment soon. As Navy Chief indicating new communication, sensors and electronics upgrade need to conducted soon so the Carrier can integrate with the rest of TNI-AL fleet.

Fincantieri have other cheaper options than the FCX30 which exist as paper design. The PPX (OPV) or Vivaldi class is in production and fall within the simple/plain corvette to OPV corvette type.

Ah yes, that one.

Circulating online on sea trial of the first PPX/OPV Vivaldi class.

Fincantieri | PPX

PPX by Fincantieri is an innovative patrol vessel. Features include anti-marine pollution systems and helo capabilities for comprehensive sea monitoring.

A nice design and capable enough. But i think it will be more expensive than the indigenous designs, too expensive for a order of 19 pieces.

PPX/OPV being offer to Malaysia, however from what I gather Fincantieri did not offer it to Indonesia due the availability of local design (KRI Bung Hatta and KRI Haji Fisabillilah class) for Plain and OPV Corvette range.

Thus seems Fincantieri see the opening is for the need of more sophisticate class of Corvette - Light Frigate range.
