Background

During the appointment ceremony of Indonesian Navy's then Eastern Fleet Command chief of staff, Rear Admiral Darwanto on 23 January 2015, Indonesia's then Chief of Staff of the Navy, Admiral Ade Supandi stated that to prevent illegal fishing by foreign commercial vessels in eastern Indonesia, the Indonesian Navy needs at least 15-20 patrol boats operating every day. The performance of elements of military force also needs to be intensified so he concluded that the Indonesian navy needed 40 new patrol boats with a size of 60 metres (200 ft). But for the initial stage, he projects to acquire at least 22 patrol boats first through a gradual procurement process, and also aims to replace older patrol boats. [4]

On 31 August 2022, the first two PC-60 patrol boats were inaugurated by Admiral Yudo Margono with Dorang (874) being the lead ship for the class. [5]
