Warship KRI Kupang -581 nearly sunk after being hit by a freak wave near Surabaya, East Java, on Sunday morning.
"A sudden surge of large body of water overcame KRI Kupang. Ship captain Suyadi quickly directed the ship to shore and dropped down the anchor as he called for help from a nearby ship," Navy spokesman Toni Syaiful said, as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that another nearby warship, KRI Slamet Riyadi, had answered their call of distress.
The 20-year old watercraft will be towed to Surabaya.
