  • Missing Submarine Sank, Killing 53 Aboard: Indonesia
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2021-04-25 MISSING SUBMARINE SANK, KILLING 53 ABOARD: INDONESIA Relevant for: International Relations | Topic: Effect of policies and politics of developed & developing countries on India's interests Indonesia’s Navy on Saturday declared its missing submarine had sunk and cracked open, killing 53 crew members aboard, after finding items from the vessel over the past two days. Military chief Hadi Tjahjanto said the presence of an oil slick as well as debris near the site where the submarine’s last dive on Wednesday off the island of Bali were clear proof the KRI Nanggala 402 sank. Indonesia earlier considered the vessel to be only missing. Navy Chief Yudo Margono told a press conference in Bali, “If it’s an explosion, it will be in pieces. The cracks happened gradually in some parts when it went down from 300 m to 400 m to 500 m... If there was an explosion, it would be heard by the sonar.” The Navy previously said it believes the submarine sank to a depth of 600-700 m, much deeper than its collapse depth of 200 m, at which point water pressure would be greater than the hull could withstand. The cause of the disappearance was still uncertain. Findings to be evaluated Adm. Margono said searchers found parts of a torpedo straightener, a grease bottle believed to be used to oil the periscope, debris from prayer rugs and a broken piece from a coolant pipe that was refitted on the submarine in 2012. “With the authentic evidence we found believed to be from the submarine, we have now moved from the ‘sub miss’ phase to ‘sub sunk,’” Adm.

Please email: [email protected] for feedback to the Editor RSIS Commentary, Yang Razali Kassim. ‘Strategic Funnels’: Deciphering Indonesia’s Submarine Ambitions By Ristian Atriandi Supriyanto Synopsis Historical experience, archipelagic geography, and strategic imperative make submarines a critical asset for Indonesia’s naval defence in spite of financial and other constraints. Overambitious submarine projects, however, are perilous. Commentary IN SEPTEMBER 2015, Indonesia decided to cut its defence budget for the first time in five years by 6.3 percent, or IDR7 trillion (US$490 million), to IDR95.8 trillion. Slower economic growth and declining rupiah value are cited as the main reasons. As a result, reductions in military procurements are expected. Amid these constraints, however, the government remains firm to endorse ‘big-ticket’ purchases, including submarines. If that’s the case, why do submarines seem central in Indonesia’s naval modernisation programme and broader naval strategy? Southeast Asia’s underwater strategic environment is getting more crowded. IHS Jane’s predicted in 2011 that regional countries would acquire at least 13 submarines by 2020. Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam have acquired submarines in the last two decades or so, while Thailand, Myanmar, and the Philippines have declared their intent to follow suit.

Kapal selam itu sebisa mungkin ditemukan dan para awak dievakuasi. Oleh AMBROSIUS HARTO SURABAYA, KOMPAS — Operasi pencarian dan pertolongan terhadap 53 awak KRI Nanggala-402 yang dinyatakan hilang telah memasuki hari ketiga. Pengerahan berbagai sumber daya serta bantuan mancanegara memelihara harapan yang terbaik untuk keselamatan seluruh awak kapal selam itu. ”Berharap yang terbaik untuk adik-adik saya di KRI Nanggala, kapal selam kebanggaan saya. Namun, sebaiknya juga bersiap untuk kemungkinan terburuk,” kata sesepuh Satuan Kapal Selam Komando Armada 2 dan mantan Kepala Kamar Mesin KRI Nanggara Laksamana Muda (Purn) Frans Wuwung di kediaman di Surabaya, Jawa Timur, Jumat (23/4/2021) petang. Frans mengatakan, merasa perlu memberikan pandangan untuk meluruskan sejumlah informasi tentang KRI Nanggala agar publik dapat memahami insiden hilangnya kapal selam itu di perairan utara Pulau Bali dengan komprehensif. Mengaitkan usia operasional Nanggala yang sudah 40 tahun dengan kesiapan kapal selam tersebut berlayar tidak tepat. Membuka ke publik tentang kemampuan maksimal menyelam Nanggala setara dengan membocorkan rahasia kekuatan alat utama sistem persenjataan TNI. ”Percayalah kepada negara pasti menempuh yang terbaik dan berbagai cara untuk menemukan kapal selam itu. Kemudian, bersimpatilah kepada keluarga awak Nanggala dengan tidak menyebarluaskan informasi yang membingungkan bahkan membawa tekanan psikologis kepada mereka,” kata Frans. Menurut Frans, Kepala Kamar Mesin (KKM) jabatan ketiga tertinggi dalam kapal selam. Sebagai mantan KKM, Frans amat paham bagaimana mempersiapkan, mengoperasikan, dan mengantisipasi kejadian selama penyelaman.
