KD SRI INDERAPURA
She is the fourth US tank landing ships and first of its class (i.e. LST) operated by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). Commissioned to RMN on 31 January 1995, she has a displacement of 8500 tons and overall length 567 feet (i.e. 173 meters). We had the opportunity to tour this true majestic eight-storey-high monster of steel and iron. Here are some of the pictures.
