KRI Bung Kamo (369) is an all-modern corvette warship having entered service with the Indonesian Navy. The design serves as a 'Presidential Corvette' in that it also doubles as the official yacht to the President of Indonesia. The vessel was ordered on May 25th, 2022 and saw her keel laid down on June 9th, 2022 by shipbuilder PT Karimun Anugrah Sejati (Batam). The ship was launched on April 19th, 2023 and officially commissioned on June 1st, 2023.

As a modern design, the vessel exudes clean lines with attention given to stealth features. Protrusions are kept to an absolute minimum and the hull line is unbroken from bow to stern. The forecastle is set to seat a powered turret while the stern has a single-helicopter landing pad. Over midships is the bridge / hull superstructure capped by a short-profile mast. Internally, the ship has a twin marine diesel arrangement developing 5,400 horsepower driving 2 x Shafts under stern. This propels the vessel to speeds of 24 knots. The complement numbers 55.

Currently (2023), the ship is featured with a modest load out of 1 x 40mm L/70 Bofors autocannon with 2 x 20mm Yugoimport M71/08 cannons. Planned is a 40mm Leonardo OTO Marlin 40 deck gun and 2 x Twin-cell SIMBAD Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) launchers to go along with the twin 20mm Yugoimport guns.

KRI Bung Karno is listed with a displacement of 640 long tons and measurements encompassing a length of 239.5 feet, and a beam of 39.3 feet.
