The Diponegoro-class guided-missile corvettes of the Indonesian Navy are SIGMA 9113 types of the Netherlands-designed Sigma family of modular naval vessels, named after Indonesian Prince Diponegoro. Currently there are 4 Diponegoro-class corvette in service.

Construction and career

Diponegoro was laid down on 24 March 2005 and launched on 16 September 2006 by Damen Group, Vlissingen. She was commissioned on 5 July 2007 by Admiral Slamet Soebijanto, Indonesian Navy Chief of Staff.[4]

On 21 April 2021, immediately after the disappearance of KRI Nanggala (402), the navy deployed KRI Diponegoro, KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata, and KRI I Gusti Ngurah Rai to search for the missing submarine.[5]

Since its first participation in 2009, Diponegoro has taken part in the Maritime Task Force of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon several times.[6][7][8]
