A total of 14 warships from the Republic of Indonesia (KRI) of the Navy are ready to fight around the island of Bali to secure the G20 Summit in Bali. Commander of Koarmada II Admiral TNI T.S.NB Hutabarat as Commander of the Sea Task Force said the Indonesian Navy warship with full combat status was placed in strategic sectors surrounding the waters of the Island of the Gods, Bali, since last Sunday. "The Indonesian Navy, which is a Marine Task Force, divides its strength based on the sectors surrounding the island of Bali. In addition, layered security patterns are also implemented from the coast to stay away from the coast to the sea and intersect with the pattern of the sector," said Hutabarat in a statement received in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, November 14. The fourteen KRIs are KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata-331, KRI I Gusti Ngurah Rai-332, KRI Abdul Halim Perdana Kusuma-355, KRI Karel Satsuit Tubun-356, KRI Sultan Hasanuddin-366, KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda-367, KRI Fatahillah-361, KRI Malahayati-362, KRI Sultan Nuku-373, KRI Surabaya-591, KRI Teluk Banten-516, KRI Wahidin Sudiro Husodo-991, KRI Tarakan-905, and KRI Bima Suci. In addition, the Indonesian Navy also deployed ELiet troops from Kopaska, Taifib Marines, and Divers Dislambair. Hutabarat said to ensure the sea security of the world leaders meeting, the Indonesian Navy not only deployed warships, but also elements of the air that have anti-submarine capabilities which are currently ready to be moved at any time from above the KRI. The aircraft from Puspenerbal involved in the security were Heli Bell HU 4205 Onboard KRI Tarakan, Heli Bell HU 4207 Onboard KRI Surabaya, Heli Panther HS 1303 Onboard KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata, Heli Panther HS 1304 Onboard KRI I Gusti Ngurah Rai, and Heli Phanter HS 1310 Onboard KRI Sultan Hasanuddin. In addition, the Indonesian Navy's base troops have strengthened security at ports and other strategic locations that are entry points to the Island of the Gods, such as Lanal Denpasar, Lanal Mataram, and Lanal Banyuwangi. Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy (KSAL) Admiral Yudo Margono said the warships served as security forces from November 6 to November 19. "One of the tasks is to carry out hailing of ships passing through the ALKI II area and ensure that every sector is safe and there is no threat of danger," said Yudo Margono.
