JAKARTA - The Indonesian Navy suspects interference occurred when KRI Nanggala-402 was diving statically in Bali waters. This condition made KRI Nanggala-402 out of control until finally contact lost.
“It is possible that during static diving there will be a blackout so that the ship is out of control and emergency procedures cannot be carried out. "There should be an emergency button to blow so that the ship can rise to the surface so that the ship falls at a depth of 600-700 meters," said the Information Service of the Indonesian Navy, Wednesday, April 21.
KRI Nanggala-402 previously requested permission to dive in Bali waters at 03.00 WIB, Wednesday, April 21. It is planned that the submarine will carry out firing for a training rehearsal. However, the KRI Nanggala-402 lost contact.
The search was carried out using active sonar in the vicinity of the KRI Nanggala-402 dive. But to no avail.
Meanwhile, at 07.00 WIB, the search was carried out by air. An oil spill was seen at the location of the KRI Nanggala-402 diving.
"There was an oil spill around the submerged area, the possibility of a fuel tank damage (cracking) due to sea water pressure or a position signal from KRI NGL-402," continued Dispen TNI AL.
