Indonesia is still in need of another 262 warships of a total 376 which the government required for defending and maintaining security of the country which consists of 17 thousands of islands, large and small.
Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Slamet Soebijanto said here on Monday that at present Indonesia only had around 114 warships of different types.<>
Some time in the future, according to him, it was expected that a plan to strengthen the Navy’s fleet could be realized in line with the country’s economic growth, although this would take quite a long time.
"The 376 warships will be one of the most requirements to enable us to defend and maintain national security in Indonesia as the world’s largest archipelagic country which is lying in strategic sea intersection," he was quoted by the state news agency as saying.
"We should be able to guarantee that the sea intersection is really secured for whoever is passing it, in addition to its abundant marine resources which need be defended," Slamet said. (dar)
