Description

The Clurit class consists of fast attack craft operated by the Indonesian Navy. Developed and constructed domestically by PT Palindo Marine and PT Citra Shipyard in Batam, the class succeeded the Mandau class and preceded the Sampari class. Each vessel is named after an indigenous Indonesian weapon or blade, such as the sickle, dagger, or machete.

KRI Clurit entered service in April 2011, followed by KRI Kujang in February 2012. KRI Beladau and KRI Alamang were commissioned by the end of 2013. The final four vessels—Surik, Siwar, Parang, and Terapang—were inaugurated in September 2014. All vessels remain active in the Indonesian Navy.

The design is intended for rapid strike and the simultaneous engagement of multiple targets. Sensor and processing equipment includes an H/ZKT-series Combat Management System, searching radar, and tracking radar. Internal communications are facilitated by EID ICCS systems. While early units were originally equipped with cannons and machine guns, the class was later refitted with anti-ship missiles and a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS). The primary missile armament is the C-705, a turbojet-powered derivative of the Chinese C-704. Indonesia intends to license-build the C-705 for its naval fleet. Additional armament includes NG-18 and Marlin-WS systems.
