The Teluk Gilimanuk class is a class of medium landing ship (LSM) that currently being operated by Indonesian Navy. They were originally built in the East Germany for the Volksmarine as the Frosch I and II classes. This ships were acquired by Indonesian Navy in the 1990s.[3]

Development

Twelve former German Democratic Republic fast medium landing ships (531 to 542) of the Frosch I/Type 108-class were built by VEB Peenewerft, Wolgast, to an East German design between 1976 - 1979. Officially transferred to Indonesian Navy on 25 August 1993. Refitted in German yards prior to transfer, where all armament was removed, to be replaced later after delivery. A very valuable addition to the Indonesian Navy's landing forces in view of the block obsolescence of the Ex-US LST 511 type landing ships.[4] The 37-mm guns have replaced the original 57-mm and 30-mm twin guns.[1]

Two logistic support ships of the Frosch II/Type 109-class also transferred to Indonesian Navy on 25 August 1993 and were built by the same shipyard as a development of the Frosch I landing ships. Originally commissioned in the Volksmarine on 3 October 1979 and 26 February 1980, respectively. Fitted with an 8-tons crane amidships and a bow ramp as on the Frosch I-class. All armament also removed prior to transfer, later to be rearmed in Indonesia.[4] Both refitted at Rostock and recommissioned on 25 April 1995. 37-mm guns fitted after transfer. Rocket launchers are mounted forward of the bridge.[2]

Operational history

The Teluk Gilimanuk-class ships were bought on 3 September 1992 based on Inpres 3/1992 that was decided by late President Soeharto. The procurement also include 16 Template:Sclass2- and 9 Kondor-class vessels worth a total cost of $482 million.[5]

Ships

Originally fourteen Teluk Gilimanuk-class LSTs have been commissioned by the Indonesian Navy, but recently only eleven ships are still in active service, two ships were lost due to an accident and one ship was retired.
