KRI Brawijaya (320) is a Thaon di Revel-class offshore patrol vessel operated by the Indonesian Navy. The vessel was originally constructed as Marcantonio Colonna (P433), the fifth ship of the class built for the Italian Navy.
Construction and career
It was laid down on 3 September 2020 at Fincantieri Muggiano and was launched on 26 November 2022.[1] Marcantonio Colonna started sea trials in July 2023.[2]
Marcantonio Colonna is one of the two Thaon di Revel-class vessels sold to the Indonesian Navy in a 1.18 billion Euro contract, which was signed on 28 March 2024.[3] According to Janes, Indonesia has secured a 1.25 billion US dollar funding from several European financial institutions for the acquisition of the two vessels, with the funding facility signed in late 2024.[4]
The ship was renamed as KRI Brawijaya (320) on 29 January 2025 at a ceremony in Muggiano shipyard.[5] Brawijaya was handed over to the Indonesian Navy and commissioned on 2 July 2025 at the Muggiano shipyard, its first Commander being Colonel John David Nalasakti Sondakh.[6] The ship was assigned to the 2nd Fleet Command, based in Surabaya.[7] Brawijaya departed La Spezia and sailed for Indonesia on 29 July and planned to arrive in Surabaya on 10 September.[8][9]
Brawijaya was delivered to the Indonesian Navy in its initial "Light+" configuration.[10] However, Indonesia has indicated interest on upgrading the ship to the "Full" configuration.[11]
Brawijaya made port visits to Mersin, Turkey; Alexandria, Egypt; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Fujairah, United Arab Emirates; and the last one was on 27 August, when Brawijaya arrived at the Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on a replenishment visit. The vessel is scheduled to depart the island on 30 August.[12] Along the way, Brawijaya performed joint exercises with various warships from foreign navies, such as ENS Tahya Misr, Caio Duilio, Bani Yas, and also the Indonesian corvette KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda which was on UNIFIL deployment in Lebanon.[13]
Brawijaya arrived at Lampung Naval Base in Bandar Lampung on 4 September.[13] The ship went to the Port of Tanjung Priok, Jakarta on 8 September and was inspected by high-ranking officials.[14] Brawijaya arrived in Surabaya on 10 September as planned.[15]
