Background

The three vessels were built by BAE Systems Marine (now BAE Systems Maritime - Naval Ships). The contract was awarded to GEC-Marconi in 1995 and the ships, a variant of the F2000 design, were launched in January 2001, June 2001 and June 2002 at the then BAE Systems Marine yard at Scotstoun, Glasgow. The customer refused to accept the vessels and the contract dispute became the subject of arbitration. When the dispute was settled in favour of BAE Systems, the vessels were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007. [1]

In 2007, Brunei contracted the German Lürssen shipyard to find a new customer for the three ships; in November 2012, it was announced that Indonesia had signed a memorandum of understanding with Britain to acquire the vessels for one-fifth of the original unit cost.[ citation needed ] The ships are now in service with the Indonesian Navy.

The ships were originally armed with MBDA Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles and MBDA Seawolf air-defence missiles. The main gun is an OTO Melara 76 mm; the ship also carries two torpedo tubes, two 30 mm remote weapon stations and has a landing spot for a helicopter. As 2018 the MBDA Seawolf missile was out of service due to expired and there was plan to replace it with VL Mica [2]

Construction and career

KDB Nakhoda Ragam was launched on 13 January 2001 and commissioned into the Indonesian Navy on 18 July 2014. [3] [4] She originally had the hull number 28 but were later changed to 358. She was never commissioned in the Royal Brunei Navy.

The Armed Forces Command of Western Indonesian Komando Armada I (Koarmabar) began increasing its capabilities as both KRI Bung Tomo and KRI John Lie were added to strengthen patrols in the waters of western Indonesia on 13 April 2013. [5]

On 3 August 2015, John Lie participated in the Combat Afloat Readiness and Training 2015. It is an exercise hosted between the United States Navy and the Indonesian Navy. [6]

On 13 April 2018, John Lie and KRI Bung Tomo arrived at Pondok Payung Pier, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, at 10:00. [7]

In 2021, it was deployed to search for the wreckage of Sriwijaya Air Flight 182, which crashed into the sea four minutes after takeoff.
