<i>Sampari</i>-class fast attack craft

The Sampari-class fast attack craft are a class of domestically designed and built fast attack craft operated by the Indonesian Navy. The ships also known as KCR-60 and all ships built by local company PT PAL in Surabaya. These ships are made with composition of aluminium and high tensile steel in hull parts which are also a domestic product obtained from state owned foundry PT Krakatau Steel in Cilegon.

Fast attack craft ship type

A fast attack craft (FAC) is a small, fast, agile and offensive warship armed with anti-ship missiles, gun or torpedoes. FACs are usually operated in close proximity to land as they lack both the seakeeping and all-round defensive capabilities to survive in blue water. The size of the vessel also limits the fuel, stores and water supplies. In size they are usually between 50–800 tonnes and can reach speeds of 25–50 knots.

Indonesian Navy maritime warfare branch of Indonesias military

The Indonesian Navy is the naval branch of the Indonesian National Armed Forces. It was founded on 10 September 1945 and has a role to patrol Indonesia's lengthy coastline, to enforce and patrol the territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Indonesia, to protect Indonesia's maritime strategic interests, to protect the islands surrounding Indonesia, and to defend against seaborne threats.

Characteristics

The vessel, part of the KCR-60m family of fast attack missile craft, has a length of 59.8 metres (196 ft) and a beam of 8.1 m. At full charge, it has a draft of 2.6 m, and the ship's displacement is 460 tonnes. It has a maximum speed of 28 knots (52 km/h), with a cruising speed of 20 knots (37 km/h). She can stay at sea for 9 days, with a range of 2,400 nautical miles (4,400 km) and a crew capacity of 43. [1]

She is armed with the Bofors 57 mm L/70 naval artillery gun, which replaced the previous 40 mm version. [2] Additionally, she is also equipped with two 20 mm guns and two anti-ship missile launchers. [1]

Bofors 57 mm L/70 naval artillery gun

The Bofors 57 mm l/70 naval guns are a series of dual-purpose naval guns designed and produced by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors, designed in 1964 as a revision of the 57 mm lvakan M/50 used on the Halland-class destroyers. Production of the baseline 57 mm Mark 1 variant began in 1966 and was initially used to equip smaller coastal patrol craft and fast attack craft. The gun is remotely controlled by a fire-control computer; as a redundancy measure, however, the crew can also operate the gun using instrument panels that are either on or in direct contact with the gun. Although the Swedish Navy is the primary user of the gun, it has been exported widely by Bofors Defence for use by the navies of Brunei, Canada, Croatia, Finland, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Montenegro, Singapore, Thailand and the United States.

Anti-ship missile guided missile that is designed for use against surface ships

Anti-ship missiles (AShM) are guided missiles that are designed for use against ships and large boats. Most anti-ship missiles are of the sea skimming variety, and many use a combination of inertial guidance and active radar homing. A good number of other anti-ship missiles use infrared homing to follow the heat that is emitted by a ship; it is also possible for anti-ship missiles to be guided by radio command all the way.

Service history

Halasan was built by PT PAL and was launched in Surabaya around July 2014 as the third ship in her class, [1] and was commissioned by the Indonesian Navy on 17 September 2014, being assigned to the Western Fleet Command (Koarmabar). [3]
