KRI Kelabang (826), formerly known as KRI Pulau Rondo (725), is a Kondor II-class minesweeper originally built in East Germany and operated by the Volksmarine under the name Zerbst (335). After the dissolution of the Volksmarine prior to German reunification, the vessel was acquired by the Indonesian Navy in 1995 and was initially renamed Pulau Rondo before being renamed once more to Kelabang . Kelabang is one of the Indonesian Navy warships that serves under the Patrol Ship Unit of II Main Naval Base. This vessel is utilized to support various operational activities within the area of responsibility of II Main Naval Base, which extends from the waters of Sibolga to Bengkulu. The name Kelabang had been used previously, but without a hull number.
