YAKARTA — Indonesia recibió su primer portaaviones el viernes cuando el exbuque de la Marina italiana ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi arribó a Yakarta tras un viaje de tres semanas desde Italia. El barco fue recibido con una ceremonia militar en una base naval del puerto de Tanjung Priok, en el norte de Yakarta, marcando un hito histórico para la Marina indonesia.
El portaaviones, retirado por Italia en 2024 y transferido a Indonesia bajo un acuerdo firmado en marzo de 2026 entre ambos gobiernos, será puesto en servicio la próxima semana como KRI Sriwijaya, en honor al antiguo imperio marítimo de Srivijaya que dominó las rutas comerciales de la región. La adquisición forma parte del impulso del presidente Prabowo Subianto para modernizar las fuerzas armadas.
El jefe de la Marina indonesia, el almirante Muhammad Ali, dijo que el portaaviones se usará principalmente para operaciones distintas de la guerra, como misiones humanitarias y respuesta a desastres, pero que podría desplegarse en combate de ser necesario. La medida ha generado debate en Indonesia sobre el costo de mantener la nave y las ambiciones militares del país.
