Fast Missile Boat or in Indonesian Kapal Cepat Rudal are small vessels that are used in a hit-and-run naval strategy. FMBs are named after traditional weapons of Indonesia.Patrol Fleet
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 vessel. There are also even smaller boats with Patkamla 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 across the Indonesian archipelago. Due to the sheer number of Lanal located inside Indonesian territory, TNI AL sources some of its patrol 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, snake, 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, which are often converted from locally sourced boats near its Lanal location.Minesweepers
