KRI Fatahillah is an Indonesian Navy ship[1] named after Fatahillah, a national war heroic figure who recaptured Sunda Kelapa from the Portuguese and consequently changed its name to Jayakarta. KRI Fatahillah is a missile-equipped corvette, the first ship of Fatahillah-class corvette.[2]

Notable deployments[]

The ship was part of a team of several Indonesian and one US Navy vessels searching for the missing Adam Air Flight 574. It located several unidentified metal objects which may have been part of the missing plane.[1]

Mid-Life Upgrade[]

Ultra Electronics was awarded a contract as the prime contractor for the mid-life upgrade of KRI Fatahillah in 2013. This upgrade included replacement of the WM-25 fire control radar with the installation of SCANTER 4100 and the installation of the Ultra Electronics Command and Control system (CC2).
