So, can Garibaldi become a strategic asset for Indonesia? It can, if eight conditions are met.

Through the presence of Giuseppe Garibaldi, it is time for the government to formulate a more measured and maritime-oriented national defense policy blueprint.

The TNI is preparing several major events for the 81st anniversary celebration, including a showcase of the Giuseppe Garibaldi aircraft carrier.

The warship parade or sailing pass will be held on October 4, 2026, a day before the main ceremony of the 81st anniversary of the TNI.

Indonesia's first aircraft carrier should not be a monument of pride but a national learning engine, transforming investment into lasting maritime knowledge, technology, and industry.
