520 _aIn 2003, a Ministry of Defence White Paper, "Defending the Country: Entering the 21st Century" elevated both the status and funding levels of the Indonesian Navy (Tentera Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut, TNI-Al). After 20 years of indifferent modernisation and few major new acquisitions, the sea service was now cited as "the" major player in defence of Indonesia and its terrirtorial waters. Modernisation of the TNI-AL's aging 196-ship fleet will remain an urgent priorityif the country's sea services are to fulfill the demanding mission of patrolling the maritime nation's vast archipelago and Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ).
