Indonesian Navy

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut or TNI-AL) is the maritime branch of Indonesia's military, responsible for defending the country's vast archipelago and maritime interests. It operates naval ships, submarines, and aircraft to secure territorial waters, combat piracy, and support maritime law enforcement. Indonesia's navy plays a vital role in safeguarding trade routes, conducting disaster relief, and maintaining regional stability in Southeast Asia. With a mix of modern and legacy vessels, the navy adapts to evolving maritime challenges while fostering national sovereignty and security across Indonesia's thousands of islands.
