Modular design[edit]
The basic design
of the Sigma Patrol Series can vary as the hull segments are designed as components.
Ships can vary in the number of hull segments and in the order in which they are placed.
Sigma stands for
Ship Integrated Geometrical
Modularity Approach. The ship's main dimensions are named in the types itself,
SIGMA 9113 stands for 91 meters long and 13 meters wide, same is with the SIGMA 10513, 105 meters in length and 13 meters wide.
The design was derived from the earlier
High Speed Displacement hull form by
MARIN Teknikk AS in the
1970s.
SIGMA 9113
The
Indonesian variant is based on the Sigma 9113 design.[7]
Work on the first of the class, KRI
Diponegoro, began with the first steel cutting conducted in
October 2004. The ship was christened on
September 16,
2006 and commissioned on July 2,
2007 by
Admiral Slamet Soebijanto, Indonesian Navy
Chief of Staff.[8]
Options for 2 other units were exercised on
January 2006 with the first steel cut commenced on 3
April 2006[9] in
Damen's
Schelde Naval
Shipbuilding yard, Vlissingen-Oost yard and not in
Surabaya stated earlier.
In
28 August 2007,
Jane's Missiles and
Rockets reported[10] that
Indonesia was having problems securing the export license for the MM-40 Exocet block II and are considering
Chinese made C-802 anti-ship missiles as alternatives. However, the ships have already been delivered with the Exocet missiles.
