All the Indonesia Navy (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, TNI-AL) vessels are named with the prefix KRI (Indonesian: Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia or Naval Vessel of the Republic of Indonesia). Smaller sized boats with light armaments usually have the prefix KAL (Indonesian: Kapal Angkatan Laut or Naval Vessel of the Indonesian Navy). The classes are often named after lead ships or the first ship commissioned.
The Navy has a traditional naming convention for its ships. Moreover, the ship's type and missions can be identified by the first number on the ship's three-digit hull number, which is located at the bow and the stern of a vessel. The naming convention is such as:[1]
The Indonesian Navy is expected to operate at least 8 submarines by 2024.[2] The submarines are named after weapons in Javanese Wayang mythology.

The list below mentions ships that are considered as KRI because they are equipped with heavy and adequate armament or equipment. The Indonesian Navy also has numerous smaller patrol boats that classify as KAL. These types of boats were used as a secondary fleet to maintain the law of Indonesian coastal sea. Most of these smaller boats are lightly armed and better known domestically as PC or Patroli Cepat (Fast Patrol) vessel. There are also even smaller boats with Patkamla (Patroli keamanan laut) prefixes or Marine security patrol and armed with only machine guns. These boats are mainly used to patrol around various TNI AL naval bases or Lanal (Pangkalan TNI AL) across the Indonesian archipelago. Due to the sheer number of Lanal located inside Indonesian territory, TNI AL sources some of its patrol vessels (mostly Patkamla or rarely KAL vessels) from local shipbuilding industry in the region around its bases' location. This resulted in a varied bunch of ship classes and designs based on different standards adopted by various ship builder. Patrol boats are named after fish (Pari class, Sibarau class, Cucut class, etc.), snake (Boa class, Krait class, etc.), and small islands of Indonesia. The list below does not reflect the actual number of patrol vessels used by Indonesian Navy due to various factors, such as insufficient open-source data of some vessels and the lack of coverage by most national or international publications on patrol boats smaller than 18 meters (mostly Patkamla vessel), which are often converted from locally sourced boats near its Lanal location.
