The Clurit class are a class of domestically designed and built fast attack craft operated by the Indonesian Navy. Vessels of this class are named after indigenous weapons and swords used in Indonesia.

## History

[edit]

The Clurit class was built by PT Palindo Marine Shipyard, Tanjunguncang, Batam. The Clurit is named after a curved blade weapon native to the Madurese people of East Java.

Another ship with the same specifications was commissioned by the Indonesian Navy in February 2012, named KRI Kujang 642.[3] Two more had been commissioned by the end of 2013, with a total of nine planned by the end of 2014.[1] Three of the new vessels are being constructed by PT Palindo Marine Shipyard, with nearby PT Citra Shipyard working on the fourth.[1]

## Design

[edit]

The Clurit prioritizes the element of surprise, rapid strike, destroying multiple targets at once and avoidance. She has a crew of 35.[1]

The first four of the class were originally armed with just a Denel (Vektor) 20mm cannon and two 12.7 mm machine guns.[1] In May 2014 the Clurit and Kujang were fitted with a Chinese made six-barrelled NG-18 30mm CIWS and two of the new C-705 SSM, although Jane's states that they can each carry four such missiles.[1] Indonesia hopes to licence-build the C-705, which is a derivative of the Chinese C-704 anti-shipping missile with a turbojet to extend the range to 120 kilometres (65 nmi).[4] Although the first C-705 have been fitted, it is not clear when they will become operational.[1]
