Design and construction

Main article: Attack-class patrol boat

The Attack class was ordered in 1964 to operate in Australian waters as patrol boats (based on lessons learned through using the s on patrols of Borneo during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, and to replace a variety of old patrol, search-and-rescue, and general-purpose craft. Propulsion machinery consisted of two 16-cylinder Paxman YJCM diesel engines, which supplied 3460 shp to the two propellers.

Barricade was built by Evans Deakin and Company at Brisbane, Queensland, launched on 29 June 1968, and commissioned on 26 October 1968.

Operational history

Barricade was transferred to the Indonesian Navy on 22 April 1982 and renamed KRI Sigalu.
