Indonesian Navy
The Indonesian Navy (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, TNI–AL) was founded on September 10th, 1945. Its role is 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.
The Indonesian Navy is the largest navy in South East Asia based on the number of active personnel and ships. As of 2009, the Indonesian Navy had about 75,000 active personnel and more than 150 vessels in active service. The Indonesian Navy is one of a few navies in the region backed by a substantial domestic defence industry, marine corps, and armed with supersonic missiles and attack submarines.
The Indonesian Navy is headed by a Navy Chief of Staff (Kepala Staf Angkatan Laut - Kasal). The Indonesian Navy is strengthen by two major fleets known as "Armada" which are Komando Armada Barat (Western Fleet Command) located in Tanjung Priok and Komando Armada Timur (Eastern Fleet Command) located in Surabaya with one Military Sealift Command (Komando Lintas Laut Militer). The Navy also heads the Marine Corps.
All commissioned ships of the TNI-AL have the prefix KRI, standing for Kapal Republik Indonesia (Republic of Indonesia Ship).
