New Recruit
Cool... Some of them already wearing MSA Gallet TC 800 helmetThey said they would resist from buying old plane.. not all military articles.
PT.PAL is currently busy, with submarines, LPD, KCR, and possibly more PKR or even heavy frigate project in the near future... So, i think it's better to give them some time and space to breath by acquiring this LHD, if TNI AL and Gov thought it is time to introduce its first LHD.

Indonesia shuts Malaysian firm's station
It deems landing station, part of sub-marine cable project, a threat that violates sea law
Indonesia has shut down what it believes is an illegal landing station built by a Malaysian company as part of a sub-marine cable project linking Peninsular Malaysia to Sarawak.
Indonesia's Foreign Ministry has confirmed that a landing station for a large underwater optic cable with 400GB bandwidth owned by Sacofa, a Malaysia-based communications company, in Anambas, Riau Islands, violates international maritime law.
Indonesia and Malaysia have had an agreement for sub-marine cable placement since 1982, Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir told The Jakarta Post.
"According to the agreement in 1982 and also the Unclos (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea), only the right to put a cable under the sea for the sake of communication between East and West Malaysia is given. It does not include the establishment of a landing station for the cable on Indonesian land," he said.
The ministry, he added, had demanded that the facility remain completely underwater, as stipulated in the 1982 agreement.

The Best example of INCONSISTENCY ..It is interesting that your gov't had issued their consent or permit .. or still more money for your military officers?
"Once commissioned, the system will be fully owned and operated by Super Sea Cable Networks Pte. Ltd. and will serve operators in the region to meet increasing bandwidth demand. The system will be targeted to complete by the end of 2017.
Super Sea Cable Networks Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore based company with a Facilities-Based Operator (FBO) license in Singapore, and is supported by SACOFA Sdn. Bhd., a leading telecommunication infrastructure provider in Sarawak, East Malaysia, to do the landing in Malaysia, and its affiliate company, PT. Super Sistem Ultima, a leading telecommunication infrastructure provider in Indonesia, to do the landing in Indonesia."
Indonesia can look into our LHD TCG Anadolu.Will HMS Ocean Find a Buyer in Asia?
Constructed between 1993 and 1998, HMS Ocean has served as the Royal Navy’s primary amphibious assault ship since commissioning. She displaces 21,000 tons, makes 18 knots, and can carry up to 18 helicopters. She also has facilities for carrying and deploying boats, marines, and ground vehicles. In short, HMS Ocean is a fairly standard big, flat-decked amphibious warship, with a decent amount of wear and tear but also with some years left in her service window. The Royal Navy expects to need her less in anticipation of the completion of its two new large carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.
The asking price for HMS Ocean appears quite low; reportedly around $75 million, payable in installments. Of course, costs associated with maintenance and the acquisition of helicopters would be more significant, but should be manageable for any navy that already has some experience with maritime helicopters.
The Indonesian Navy faces strategic and operational problems similar to those of Malaysia, only more so; it needs to patrol a huge maritime space while also maintaining HA/DR capabilities. A big amphib is perfect for these kinds of responsibilities, and HMS Ocean could help Indonesia develop the expertise necessary to operating a next generation warship.
