List of equipment of the Royal Malaysian Navy
The equipment of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) can be subdivided into: ships, aircraft, radars, weapons, munitions, firearms and attire. All RMN ships carry the prefix KD (Malay : Kapal Di-Raja, literally "Royal Ship"), which is equivalent to "His Majesty's Ship" in English. The training vessel Tunas Samudra, however, carries a KLD prefix (Kapal Layar Di-Raja) to mean "His Majesty's Sailing Ship".

Procurement
In the late 1980s, another renovation was taken by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). Four Laksamana class corvettes were purchased from Italy. These compact ships were originally built for Iraq, but were not delivered due to international sanctions put in place against Iraq. A prominent addition to the fleet were two Lekiu class frigates. Based on the Yarrow F2000 design, the two 2,300-ton frigates are armed with Exocet MM40 II SSM and the Sea Wolf VLS point defence SAM system with accommodation for one Westland Super Lynx helicopter. Malaysia had planned to add new batch of Lekiu frigates but this was cancelled in August 2009. Complementing the two Lekiu frigates are two German-built Kasturi class corvettes which were delivered in the early 1980s. Royal Malaysian Navy also purchased six Kedah class OPV and a batch of Keris class littoral mission ship to boost the fleet. In addition, the construction of six new Maharaja Lela class frigate also will make the RMN as a formidable power in the region.
