<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.

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.
