Indonesia confirms acquistion of 4 trimaran as initial batch
Acquistion progress was suspended due to an alleged fire caught of ship during trials at the dock, claimed to be " suspended " for detailed investigation of incident. Project of hull covered by North Sea boats a sweden leaded company established in indonesia, Saab as major sub-contractor for Sub systems integration including armanement, radar , combat management system. Finally a decision cleared to buy 4 ships, might increase up to 16 as navy utilize 4 ships as test bed and seeking its performance in operational missions.
Indonesia confirms acquisition of four Klewang-class stealth patrol ships - IHS Jane's 360
Ship has trimaran configured hull , as center hull has curves to wave-piercing effect , stern supported with side hulls to expand deck area utilization . Uses compozite material in hull confirmed to be nano-composite. As known composite leaves least Radar Cross sectional area, ealy applied on Sweden's Visby class with reduction of 99+ percent lowered RCSA .Still inclined surfaces used on ship to cover metal objects with " mask " .
Driven by 4 waterjet , possible 2 booster , 2 for maneuver run by 2 engines. Thus having a high agility in seas without rudder application, and Small radius of continous turn .
Its widely discussed to use non-monohull platforms in combats due to their critisized survivability issues (early discussed on USA trimaran LCS ) ,so this will be one other application of non- monohull vessel in operations.
