Indonesia commissions first aircraft carrier, ex-Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi

Indonesia has commissioned KRI Sriwijaya-100, its first aircraft carrier, acquired from Italy's retired Giuseppe Garibaldi. The vessel, in service for over 40 years, marks a significant capability expansion for the Indonesian Navy, though its age and maintenance needs may limit operational readiness. This move signals Indonesia's intent to project power in the Indo-Pacific, potentially altering regional naval dynamics.
