印度尼西亚已获得首艘航母，这艘意大利退役舰船于周五抵达雅加达丹戎不碌港海军基地，正式编入印尼海军，命名为加查马达号1。该舰已使用41年，意大利于2024年退役1。
普拉博沃政府宣称该航母将加强海上安全和防灾能力1，搭载最多10架中型直升机1。然而，这一举措在国内引发广泛争议。根据2025年3月与意大利达成的协议1，印尼财政部批准了4.5亿美元的融资额1，但国会委员会成员TB·哈桑乌丁估计改装成本可能高达16万亿卢比（约9亿美元）1。
防卫分析人士、经济学家和反对派议员对印尼是否真正需要航母及其巨大开支提出质疑1。战略与国际研究中心的穆罕默德·费乌赞·马鲁夫蒂指出："这不应该被强行推进。否则成本可能超过效益。"1东南亚地区已有泰国于1997年列装的查克里纳鲁贝特号航母1。
Indonesia received its first aircraft carrier on Friday at the naval base in Jakarta's Tanjung Priok port, marking a significant expansion of the country's maritime capabilities 1. The vessel, Italy's decommissioned ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi—which served for 41 years before Italy retired it in 2024—will be formally inducted into the Indonesian Navy under the name KRI Gadjah Mada 1.
The acquisition follows an agreement between Indonesia and Italy concluded in March 2025, with Indonesia's finance ministry approving a funding package of $450 million 1. However, the true cost of the project extends far beyond this figure. According to TB Hasanuddin, a member of parliament's defense committee, the estimated cost of retrofitting the carrier is approximately 1.6 trillion rupiah, or roughly $900 million 1. The Prabowo government has justified the purchase by emphasizing its intended use for maritime security operations, disaster relief, and naval command functions 1.
The carrier can accommodate up to ten medium-sized helicopters 1. Its arrival has sparked considerable debate among defense analysts, economists, and opposition lawmakers who question whether Indonesia truly requires an aircraft carrier given the substantial expenditure involved. Muhammad Fauzan Maroufti of the Center for Strategic and International Studies expressed concern about the project's viability, stating: "This should not be rushed through; otherwise the costs could exceed the benefits" 1. Indonesia now joins Thailand, which has operated the carrier HMS Chakri Naruebet since 1997, as a Southeast Asian nation with an aircraft carrier 1.
