Italy Transfers Carrier Garibaldi to Indonesia, Shifting Indo-Pacific Naval Balance

🚢 INDO-PACIFIC — Jakarta gets a carrier; the training bill isn't in the contract. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Jakarta controls Malacca, Lombok, and Sunda — every chokepoint the US and China need. A carrier shifts Indonesia's leverage in any Indo-Pacific crisis. The catch: operating one requires years of crew training Italy isn't contracted to provide. Owning the platform and projecting power from it are two different problems.
