History

The Clurit class was built by PT Palindo Marine Shipyard, Tanjunguncang, Batam. The Clurit is named after a curved blade weapon native to the Madurese people of East Java.

Another ship with the same specifications was commissioned by the Indonesian Navy in February 2012, named KRI Kujang 642. [3] Two more had been commissioned by the end of 2013, with a total of nine planned by the end of 2014. [1] Three of the new vessels are being constructed by PT Palindo Marine Shipyard, with nearby PT Citra Shipyard working on the fourth. [1]

Design

The Clurit prioritizes the element of surprise, rapid strike, destroying multiple targets at once and avoidance. She has a crew of 35. [1]

The first four of the class were originally armed with just a Denel (Vektor) 20mm cannon and two 12.7 mm machine guns. [1] In May 2014 the Clurit and Kujang were fitted with a Chinese made six-barrelled NG-18 30mm CIWS and two of the new C-705 SSM, although Jane's states that they can each carry four such missiles. [1] Indonesia hopes to licence-build the C-705, which is a derivative of the Chinese C-704 anti-shipping missile with a turbojet to extend the range to 120 kilometres (65 nmi). [4] Although the first C-705 have been fitted, it is not clear when they will become operational. [1]
