One of the users of Fincantieri warships is Indonesia.
Indonesia has purchased two units of the Pattugliatore Polivalente d'Altura (PPA) corvette class warships, namely the KRI Brawijaya and KRI Prabu Siliwangi.
The KRI Brawijaya is currently en route to Indonesia from Spezia, Italy.
It is planned that the KRI Brawijaya will arrive in Indonesia in September 2025.
Indonesia's cooperation with Fincantieri is expected to continue.
The next project is the purchase of the ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi aircraft carrier.

What has been the operational history of the ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi during its service in the Italian Navy?
Garibaldi has been in operation since 1985.
Although it is classified as a Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD), its primary role was as an anti-submarine platform.
Feeling it was insufficient, the Italian Navy enhanced Garibaldi's capabilities to carry Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) fighter jets in 1989.

The AV-8B Harrier II was chosen as the fighter jet to occupy Garibaldi's deck.
Technically, the Garibaldi functions as a mobile command center.

In addition to radar for detecting targets in the air, on the surface, and on land, the Garibaldi is equipped with self-defense weaponry such as the CIWS DARDO 40 mm, surface-to-air missiles Aspide, and anti-ship missiles Otomat Mk 2.
This equipment ensures the Garibaldi is always included in NATO combat operations.
"Garibaldi participated in NATO's Allied Force Operation in Kosovo in 1999, conducting 30 surprise attacks to support air strikes.
In 2001, the ship led Italy's naval contribution to Operation Enduring Freedom, launching 288 surprise attacks with AV-8B aircraft from the Indian Ocean.
During Operation Unified Protector in 2011, the ship deployed eight Harriers that flew for 1,221 hours and launched 160 precision-guided munitions over Libya.
The ship also participated in Operation Sophia in the Mediterranean and served as the flagship for the EUNAVFOR Med operation in 2016," explained Army Recognition on July 29, 2025.
It is still unclear whether Indonesia will acquire the ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi or if there are other options.***
