JAKARTA — Indonesia menerima kapal induk pertamanya pada Jumat, ketika bekas kapal Angkatan Laut Italia ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi tiba di Jakarta setelah pelayaran selama tiga minggu dari Italia. Kapal tersebut disambut dengan upacara militer di sebuah pangkalan angkatan laut di pelabuhan Tanjung Priok, Jakarta Utara, menandai tonggak bersejarah bagi TNI Angkatan Laut.
Kapal induk yang dipensiunkan oleh Italia pada 2024 dan diserahkan ke Indonesia berdasarkan kesepakatan Maret 2026 antara kedua pemerintah itu akan dikukuhkan pekan depan sebagai KRI Sriwijaya, dinamai dari kerajaan maritim kuno Sriwijaya yang pernah menguasai jalur perdagangan di kawasan. Akuisisi ini merupakan bagian dari upaya Presiden Prabowo Subianto memodernisasi angkatan bersenjata.
Kepala Staf TNI AL Laksamana Muhammad Ali mengatakan kapal induk itu akan digunakan terutama untuk operasi selain perang, seperti misi kemanusiaan dan penanggulangan bencana, namun dapat dikerahkan untuk tempur bila diperlukan. Langkah ini memicu perdebatan di Indonesia mengenai biaya perawatan kapal serta ambisi militer negara yang lebih luas.
