The Sinking Of KRI Nanggala-402 Is Still Being Investigated, Pangkoarmada II Confirms There Was No Explosion

DENPASAR - Commander of the Fleet Command (Pangkoarmada II) Admiral TNI Iwan Isnurwanto emphasized that there was no explosion at KRI Nanggala-402 which sank in Bali waters.

"If it explodes our ships that have the ability to sonar listen to sounds in the water will certainly hear them," said Iwan, during a press conference at the Denpasar Navy Base, Tuesday, May 18.

"Because, remember that during the practice shooting with the head of a torpedo practice the areas outside the shooting area were guarded by our ships which had the ability to detect sounds in the water and this was not there. So this was purely an accident, not exploding due to the influence of this. another, "he continued.

Currently the investigation team is still looking for the cause of the sinking of the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine. Laksda Iwan explained that the submarine has a maximum diving capability of 500 meters.

When a blackput occurs, the ship sinks at a speed of 100 meters per 10 seconds. His party predicts the KRI Nanggala to sink for 80 to 90 seconds and fall at a position of 833 meters.

"Mr KSAL has deployed an investigative team and since a few days ago he has carried out his duties, and is waiting for what the investigation team has achieved so please do not really guess what the cause is," said Iwan.
