JAKARTA - The Indonesian Navy has two mineral counter measuring vehicles or mine hunters. The new ship will strengthen Fleet Command (Koarmada) II.
"This ship will later be addressed to Koarmada II, for Fleet II, while we will consider ships already in Fleet II to be deployed to other fleets that do not yet have mine hunting vessels," said KSAL Admiral TNI Muhammad Ali at the Indonesian Navy Headquarters, Jakarta, Wednesday 31 May, confiscated by Antara.
KSAL on the same occasion explained that KRI Fani Island-731 and KRI Fanildo Island-732 adopted the latest technology, not only from its materials that use non-magnetic steel, but also equipped with a degaussian system and electric motor drive that can reduce noise.
"So, this technology is quite contemporary and is a fairly sophisticated mine hunting ship, where the material comes from a non-magnetic steel steel. So, the material is steel but does not have a magnetic field," he said.
KSAL admitted that the sophistication of the two new Indonesian Navy mine hunting vessels also attracted the attention of the German Navy (AL).
"In fact, Germany also wants to order the ship like the ship that was handed over to the Indonesian Navy yesterday," he said.
