[3] The vessels are powered by two MAN 12V175D-MM diesel engines with each having 2,220 kW (2,980 shp) at 1,900 rpm, connected to MAN Alpha controllable-pitch twin screw-propeller system with Alphatronic 3000 propulsion-control system. The ships also has an AKA hybrid PTI pure electric system for silent minehunting operation. [4] They have a maximum speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) and cruising speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). [2] The ships hull was built with non-magnetic steel supplied from France.

The Pulau Fani class is armed with a single 20 mm Oerlikon Searanger 20 remote weapon system. [6] For mine hunting purpose, the class are equipped with two 9 meters optionally-crewed Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) vessels, a retractable multibeam echo sounder and degaussing system. [5]

The class sensors and electronic suites includes SYNTACS C2 mine countermeasure suite and Synapsis NX navigation system. [5]

The ships has a crane for lowering remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and underwater autonomous vehicle (UAV). The launch and recovery system for the SWATHs is located at the stern. They also carries two 4-meterr rigid-hulled inflatable boats. [5]

It was also the first frigate to use gas turbines, in a combined diesel and gas (CODAG) arrangement. In 1973, the frigate undertook the longest continuous voyage of an Italian naval ship, covering over 7,000 nautical miles, and continued to serve in the anti-submarine role until 1996, by which time the helicopters had been replaced by the more capable Agusta-Bell AB-212ASW and the VDS taken out of service. In 1997, the ship was recommissioned as a support ship for mine warfare, at the same time as the ability to operate one of the helicopters was removed. The frigate was decommissioned in 2006.
