Subsequently, based on the Navy Chief of Staff's Decree No. SKEP/4033/XI/1987 dated November 17, 1987, the birth date of the Indonesian Fleet was established as December 5, which is henceforth known as the Indonesian Fleet Day.

In addition, the names of the Western Fleet Command were changed to Fleet Command I, and the Eastern Fleet Command was renamed to Fleet Command II. These additions and renaming of units were part of the Indonesian National Armed Forces' (TNI) plan as outlined in Presidential Regulation Number 10 of 2010 and Presidential Regulation Number 62 of 2016, as well as the 100-day work program of the Commander of the Armed Forces. The renaming of the Western Fleet Command (Koarmabar) to Fleet Command I was in accordance with Navy Chief of Staff Regulation Number 18 of 2018 concerning the Renaming of the Fleet Command and Marine Corps.

Due to the geographical constellation of areas deemed to have strategic vulnerabilities, such as the Sabang Waters, Malacca Strait, Singapore Strait, North Natuna Sea, and the Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lane I, which traverses the Karimata Strait, Sunda Strait, Java Sea, and the Indian Ocean, the decision was made to relocate the headquarters of Fleet Command I based on Navy Chief of Staff Decree Number Kep/2794/VIII/2022 dated August 8, 2022. The Fleet Command I was relocated to Tanjung Pinang, and officially inaugurated on December 5, 2022, coinciding with the Indonesian Fleet Day, during a Fleet Day ceremony at Fleet Command I Headquarters, led by Vice Admiral Ahmadi Heri Purwono as the Ceremony Inspector.
