Initial Attempts to Raise Sunken Indonesian Submarine Fails

The Chinese vessels are equipped with robots, sonar boat equipment and other deep water salvaging capabilities.

They joined other foreign units with similar capabilities like the Singaporean Navy submarine rescue ship MV Swift Rescue, the US Navy’s Poseidon P-8 antisubmarine aircraft.

Indonesia intends to raise the remains of KRI Nanggala-402 and its crew. The ship and its 53-man crew was lost with all hands, when it sank to a depth of 838 meters off the northern coast of Bali during a torpedo exercise on April 21.
