That is the procedure carried out by soldiers," said Head of the Naval Information Service (Kadispenal) First Admiral of the Indonesian Armed Forces Julius Widjojono, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, April 24. .

This procedure is self-help that can be carried out by 53 submarine crews, in order to divide the remaining oxygen reserves. Sleeping and not doing much movement on the ship until the KRI can be found.

Meanwhile, the TNI focused on finding the location of the submarine KRI Nanggala-402. Julius then asked all parties to pray for the safety of the German-made submarine crew.
