JAKARTA - The Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) is monitoring the search for the submarine KRI Nanggala-402 which lost contact while carrying out a strategic weapons shooting exercise in the waters of the Bali Strait.
Quoted from a written statement from the Ministry of Defense, the KRI Nanggala, which will carry out the shooting of the North Sulawesi Torpedo, asked for permission to dive at 03.00 WIB. After being granted a dive permit according to the procedure, the boat lost contact and could not be contacted.
In the training, KRI Nanggala brought 53 crew (49 crew members, 1 ship commander, and 3 Arsenal).
Until now, the search is still being carried out by sending KRI Rigel from Dishidros Jakarta and KRI Rengat from the Mine Unit to assist the search using side scan sonar.
The Indonesian Navy has also sent ISMERLO distress (International Submarine Escape and Rescue Liaison officer).
Several countries have responded and are ready to provide assistance, including the Singapore Navy, the Australian Navy and the Indian Navy.
KRI Nanggala-402 was created in 1977 at HDW (Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft) Germany and joined the ranks of the Indonesian Navy in 1981.
