In a ceremony held on 18 December at the facilities of China's Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group in Qidong, Nantong City, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) took delivery of Rencong, the fourth and final Keris-class Littoral Mission Ship (LMS) ordered from China under a contract awarded in 2017 and renegotiated in 2019.

The 68.8 m-long vessel (with pennant number 114) arrived 10 days later at the Sepanggar Naval Base, its home port at Kota Kinabalu in Sabah in the Malaysian part of the island of Borneo. Here, the vessel joined the RMN's three other LMSs: first-of-class KD Keris, which was commissioned in January 2021, KD Sundang, which entered service in March 2021, and KD Badik, which was inducted in October 2021.
