> Indonesia? I don’t think they have much of a navy

You’re kidding, right? Indonesia is a country made up of islands: a huge coastline to defend.

They have a HUGE navy. And they have good SEAL-like special forces. And they have a good Marines-style force.

> So I don’t expect to see them doing a beach landing like D-day in WWII.

Probably a good thing you don’t run the War Department, ay.

OH no! The indonesians are going to invade!

not likely.

Do they have subs? Carriers? Doubtful. Not even worth looking up to verify.

They have 7 frigates, 22 corvettes, and a bunch of patrol craft and such. Relative to other Third World countries that's huge. Relative to the Indian Navy (156 ships including a carrier, guided missile cruiser, 8 guided missile destroyers, etc) they are tiny. Relative to the US Navy, they are insignificant.
