The Ahmad Yani class of six general-purpose frigates were acquired by the Indonesian Navy in the 1980s. They were originally built in the Netherlands for the Royal Netherlands Navy as the Van Speijk class which were licence-built versions of the British Leander class, Unlike its predecessors, this ship has been extensively modernized and modified by the Indonesian Navy since the 2000s, so its performance is not the same as the original.
