All the Indonesia Navy (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, TNI-AL) vessels are named with the prefix KRI (Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia or Naval Vessel of the Republic of Indonesia). Smaller sized boats with light armaments usually have the prefix KAL (Kapal Angkatan Laut or Naval Vessel of the Indonesian Navy). The classes are often named after lead ships or the first ship commissioned.
The Navy has a traditional naming convention for its ships. Moreover, the ship's type and missions can be identified by the first number on the ship's three-digit hull number, which is located at the bow and the stern of a vessel. The naming convention is such as:[1][page needed]

The list below mentions ships that are considered as KRI because they are equipped with heavy and adequate armament or equipment. The Indonesian Navy also has numerous smaller patrol boats that classify as KAL. These types of boats were used as a secondary fleet to maintain the law of Indonesian coastal sea. Most of these smaller boats are lightly armed and better known domestically as PC or Patroli Cepat (Fast Patrol) vessel. There are also even smaller boats with Patkamla (Patroli keamanan laut) prefixes or Marine security patrol and armed with only machine guns. These boats are mainly used to patrol around various TNI AL naval bases or Lanal (Pangkalan TNI AL) across the Indonesian archipelago. Due to the sheer number of Lanal located inside Indonesian territory, TNI AL sources some of its patrol vessels (mostly Patkamla or rarely KAL vessels) from local shipbuilding industry in the region around its bases' location. This resulted in a varied bunch of ship classes and designs based on different standards adopted by various ship builder. Patrol boats are named after fish (Pari class, Sibarau class, Cucut class, etc.), snake (Boa class, Krait class, etc.), and small islands of Indonesia. The list below does not reflect the actual number of patrol vessels used by Indonesian Navy due to various factors, such as insufficient open-source data of some vessels and the lack of coverage by most national or international publications on patrol boats smaller than 18 meters (mostly Patkamla vessel), which are often converted from locally sourced boats near its Lanal location.

In the implementation of the ship construction, Abeking & Rasmussen collaborated with PT. Palindo Marine in Batam as part of the transfer of technology (ToT) scheme for the construction of the research vessels and also as an effort to increase the usage of local content on the program.[198] As the ship concept is based on a proven design by FASSMER, the project was handled jointly from the beginning. While A&R, as general contractor, is responsible for the customer’s requirements in terms of delivery, local value creation and transfer of technology, FASSMER is responsible for the design and construction of the vessel.[199]
On 14 December 2023, PT. Palindo Marine on its facility in Batam in cooperation with German shipyards, Abeking & Rasmussen and FASSMER held keel-laying ceremony for BHO-105m vessel (yard number 6515), TNI AL’s future 105-metre ocean-going hydro-oceanographic auxiliary ship known as Bantu Hidro-Oseanografi (BHO) types of ship in Indonesian navy services. Abeking & Rasmussen stated that once the pre-outfitted hull is completed, the ship will be sent to Weser River in Germany for final outfitting. Previous reports suggest that this cooperation is part of the technology transfer originating from the purchase of two mine countermeasures vessels (MCMV), KRI Pulau Fani (731) and KRI Pulau Fanildo (732), for TNI AL. The ship will have a maximum top speed of 16 knots, accommodate 90 crew, and be equipped with various devices, including Autonomous Mine Detector (AUV), Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) Rosette, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Drone, Magnetometer, Multibeam Echo sounder, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), Side Scan Sonar, and Seismic Towed Streamer, etc.[200][201]
The vessel were also said to have some submarine rescue capability aside from her main role as the navy's hydro-oceanographic research vessel.[202]
On 12 September 2023, Submarine Manufacturing and Products Ltd (SMP), a UK based manufacturer and supplier of diving and subsea rescue equipment, they will provide its new Submarine Rescue System (SRS) to the Indonesian Navy. The SRS will be hosted on a mothership designed by independent design and engineering consultancy, Houlder and delivered by its Indonesian strategic partner, BTI Defence. The three-year build contract will include the SRS, centered around SMP’s new SRV-F Mk3 rescue submersible. The SRV-F Mk3 has been developed as a hybrid system which is capable of deployment both by air and on its mothership. When deployed by air, the rescue submersible can be towed to and from the distressed submarine’s location without needing to be recovered to deck, it can also dive to depths of 500m and able to carry up to 50 rescuees at a time.[203]
The custom build of the mothership will take place in region, along with the associated expert training for the Indonesian Navy who will operate the system when it is in service. The mothership is fitted with a suite of support equipment, including a handling system, an advanced Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) system and a dedicated Decompression Chamber, enabling the immediate medical attention and treatment of rescued personnel.[203]
The mothership includes an aft working deck arrangement and a large, dedicated operations room with an attached communications suite, which has a clear view over the working deck to support rescue operations. The design also incorporates multiple small boats for rescue duties and a helipad that takes the appropriate medium-to-large sized rescue helicopters. The ship will have a large permanent hyperbaric chamber and a dedicated 10 berth hospital. Permanent onboard accommodation for up to 90 people with over 30 spare berths available and separate accommodation for rescued personnel, with up to 50 berths. The vessel will feature a dedicated closed hangar with climate control for rescue equipment. This ensures the equipment is protected from the environment and remains in optimal condition. It can also be maintained more easily and ensures crew comfort is maximized whilst conducting rescue tasks, an important consideration for equatorial operations.[204]
In January 2020 the Indonesian Minister of Defence Prabowo Subianto during a bilateral meeting in France and met with his French counterpart Florence Parly said the Ministry is interested on French military equipments including 48 Rafale jet fighters, 4 Scorpène submarines, and 2 Gowind corvettes.[205]

Dubbed ‘Scorpène Evolved’, the submarine’s propulsion system will be installed with a full Lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs) configuration, thus giving it the longest endurance of any other variant in the Scorpène family.[210]
On 26 February 2024, Representatives from French shipbuilder Naval Group begin contract negotiations for two lithium-ion batteries-equipped Scorpène Evolved diesel-electric submarines with Indonesian MoD in Jakarta. A major point of the discussions included how the program would be financed should a contract materialize. Under this arrangement, both submarines will be fully built in Surabaya, with construction work on the first boat scheduled to begin 14 months after the contract becomes effective and once funding sources and an initial payment are secured.[211]
On 28 March 2024, Indonesia chose Naval Group and PT. PAL to strengthen the capabilities of the Indonesian Navy with two Scorpène Evolved full lithium-ion battery (LiB) submarines to be built fully in Indonesia's PT. PAL shipyard, through a transfer of technology from Naval Group.[212] Key features of each Scorpène Evolved boats includes an overall length of 72 m and having surface displacement between 1,600 and 2,000 tons. Accommodation for a crew of 31 and will have 6 torpedo tubes and can take up 18 weapon payloads. The submarine will have maximum submerged speed exceeding 20 knots and can attain a maximum diving depth of over 300 m. The vessels also boast an autonomy exceeding 78 days on an 80-day mission and can remain submerged for more than 12 days. The adoption of full lithium-ion technology in the energy system allows for higher energy efficiency, reduced charging time, and increased tactical mobility regardless of the state of charge.[213]
