"The two Indonesian navy warships that will be involved in the exercise are KRI Hasan Basri and KRI Uling," Suarjaya added.
He expressed hope that the exercise would improve the capabilities of the Indonesian Navy personnel.
Meanwhile, USS Benfold commander Adrian Jansen said his ship's presence in the region was part of his tour of Southeast Asia.
