Service history

Sampari was commissioned on 28 May 2014,[3] as the first ship of her class.[2] In late 2017, Sampari's missile-launching capabilities was removed, but the decision was reversed and the missiles were reinstalled.[2]

In August 2019, Sampari participated in the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training exercise with KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda and KRI Nala, alongside U.S. Navy vessels USS Montgomery, USS Fall River, and USCGC Stratton.[4]
