The Indons have submarines?!!

[JohnTan]

Yes thanks to PAP not letting Mudslimes serve in the critical positions in the SAF,,,the submarines not sunk,,,,YET

Our navy do allow kelings, provided they don't have operational control of the submarine's hatch. We certainly don't want our subs to dive while the hatch remains open.

How can you 'lose' a submarine?
Apparently, the crew only have oxygen until Saturday.

Its a wonder that no submarine has been lost yet

Malaysia once bought a submarine that cannot submerged.

The submarine can, but crew refuse yo go under.

At least the crew is safe..


Someone Left a Hatch Open and Crippled India’s $2.9 Billion Submarine
Water damage put the submarine out of action for ten months.

India’s first ballistic missile submarine was out of commission for ten months after someone neglected to properly close a hatch. The nuclear-powered submarine INS Arihant was flooded with saltwater, necessitating nearly a year’s worth of repairs. The submarine is designed to function as a floating arsenal of nuclear weapons, guaranteeing a retaliatory strike in case of surprise attack.
The incident was first reported by The Hindu. According to an Indian Navy source, a hatch was left open on the rear left side of the ship, allowing seawater to rush into the propulsion area while the Arihant was in harbor. Arihant was out of action for ten months as water was pumped out and pipes were cut out and replaced. Indian authorities likely felt that pipes exposed to corrosive seawater couldn't be trusted again, particularly pipes that carry pressurized water coolant to and from the ship’s 83 megawatt nuclear reactor. Failing pipes could not only endanger the ship’s crew but the entire submarine... and her nuclear weapons.
India’s first ballistic missile submarine is the result of a $2.9 billion submarine technology program. Construction on Arihant began in 2009, and the ship was commissioned into the Indian Navy seven years later in October 2016. The modified Russian Akula-1 class nuclear attack submarine was lengthened to accommodate twelve K-15 short-range nuclear missiles or four K-4 intermediate range nuclear missiles. K-15 missiles, with their 434-mile range, primarily target Pakistan, while K-4 missiles, with their 2,174-mile range can reach all of Pakistan and as far as the capital of India’s other neighborhood rival, Beijing. A second missile submarine, INS Arighant, was launched in December, and at least three submarines are planned.

India has a “No First Use” policy with regard to nuclear weapons, promising that it would only use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack. The nation is only the sixth country in the world to put ballistic nuclear weapons at sea, a strategy designed to render at least part of the country’s nuclear arsenal invulnerable to surprise attack. The strategy, known as Continuous At Sea Deterrence, is employed by several countries including the United States and requires at least one nuclear-missile armed submarine at sea at all times.
How in the world could a $2.9 billion submarine be sidelined by a simple mistake? Not leaving hatches open that could potentially sink a ship, particularly a submarine, is basic common sense. Why were the propulsion section and nuclear reactor on the 364-foot long submarine unattended so the flooding went unnoticed as long as it did? As the star of the Indian Navy, Arihant should have attracted the best submariners India had to offer, which makes this accident all the more baffling.

I really appreciate the help and sympathy Singapore has given, but man, if only their rescue ship could fly over to the Bali Sea in less than 3 hours. Instead of waiting until Saturday...

Submarine Institute of Australia Director Frank Owen has discussed the situation and grave concerns surrounding an Indonesian submarine that went missing during a naval patrol. "We don't know that it's sunk. We know it's operating in waters that are 600-700 metres deep. We know the submarine is 40-years-old and it's recently been refitted in South Korea," he said. "We know they had 53 people on board as opposed to the normal 34, which means the conditions will be quite crowded and cramped. We also know the submarine is not fitted with a rescue seat."

Was the missing submarine designed to not be found?

KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — MV Mega Bakti, a submarine rescue ship of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), was deployed this morning to assist in the search for a missing Indonesian submarine, KRI Nanggala, which lost contact while conducting training in the waters off the north of Bali yesterday.

The Ministry of Defence (Mindef), in a statement today, said MV Mega Bakti set off from the Submarine Command Headquarters operations jetty in Teluk Sepanggar, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and is expected to reach its location at 3pm on Sunday.
“The search and rescue (SAR) operation, which is headed by Komander Mohd Hairul Fahmy Yob as the rescue force coordinator, would involve a 54-member crew comprising 10 Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) medical officers and personnel and 44 MV Mega Bakti crew.


“MV Mega Bakti is an RMN charter vessel with a primary capability of performing SAR operations for submarines.

BALI: Oxygen supply for the missing military submarine will run out by early Saturday, Indonesian authorities said as they expressed optimism on search and rescue efforts.

Head of navy Admiral Yudo Margono told a press conference on Thursday (Apr 22) that the submarine would have enough oxygen for 72 hours during a power blackout.

“We lost contact (with the vessel) yesterday at 3am, so it can last until Saturday 3am,” he said.

The KRI Nanggala 402 submarine went missing on Wednesday with 53 people on board when taking part in a torpedo drill in north Bali waters.

Contact with the vessel was lost at about 4.30am, after it asked for permission to dive at 3am.

“We are optimistic, we hope for the best," Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto added.

READ: Vessels from Singapore and Malaysia to assist in search for missing Indonesian submarine
A total of 49 crew members, one ship commander and three weapons specialists were on board the submarine, the defence ministry had said on Wednesday.

The submarine was built to sustain pressure at a maximum depth of around 250m, an official said. It was built in Germany in 1977 and joined Indonesia's fleet in 1981.

Oil slicks have been detected in several locations after the submarine went missing.

Adm Margono said it could mean damage to the vessel's fuel tank.

"Second, the crew might have dumped the oil hoping for (the vessel) to float. It would lighten the submarine."

Earlier on Thursday, Indonesia’s military spokesman Major General Achmad Riad told reporters that rescue vessels from Singapore and Malaysia were estimated to arrive on location this weekend to assist in the search.

Singapore’s MV Swift Rescue has sailed off and will most probably reach Bali on Saturday, while Malaysia’s MV Mega Bakti has departed from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and is set to arrive on Sunday afternoon.

SEARCH TEAM FOUND A FLOATING OBJECT

A total of 21 vessels, five aircrafts and two submarines have been deployed in the search operation.

The authorities said at the press conference that the search team has found a magnetic object floating at a depth of 50m to 100m.

"KRI Rigel (a navy vessel) is currently being brought in (to retrieve the object). We hope (the object is part of) KRI Nanggala," said military chief Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto.

Adm Margono said the clear waters during the drill and the search operation provided good visibility, while adding that the navy takes good care of its equipment.

Responding to a question on whether the vessel was too old, Mr Subianto spoke of the need to modernise the country's weaponries.

“We have been prioritising development and prosperity, so they haven’t been modernised. Now it is urgent, we will modernise our weaponries.”

President Joko Widodo on Thursday urged all parties to do their best to find the vessel. "The priority is the safety of the 53 crew members," he said.

Just sailing to bali will take 5 days.

 

[glockman]

Just thinking about this. Super cold down in that depth, if the pressure hasn't already crushed the hull like a soda can. Now oxygen running out. Submariners live dangerously, especially when serving onboard an old sub.

 

[red amoeba]

since the crew should be fasting....they will theoretically uses less oxygen. I believe they can last till Hari Raya and will surface.

 

[Papsmearer]

This is what happens when abangs build a submarine.

The sub was build by Germans, dumbass

 

[Papsmearer]

Now the whole world knows that Singapore Navy has a submarine...once a long kept state secret.

Hahahahhahaha. Yes, that picture I saw of Bargain Hen and his wife christening our new sub in Germany must have been super duper secret. U are such a fucking moron.

There was an oil slick reported, which is not good news. Could have only come from an implosion of the hull

 

[Papsmearer]

Singapore submarines work just fine because we don't have any rubbish bumi policy that discriminates against other races in the name of religion. None of our submarines have gone missing.

Not yet. Akang Datang

Definitely got a torpedo hit from a tiong sub.
