It would have registered a significant reading on the Richter scale for undersea earthquake measurements. Looks more like the submarine has been crushed, it dived too deep. More like sink, not dive . ↡ Advertisement 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray Hypersonic April 24, 2021 Share April 24, 2021 noob question here ... didn't the sub submit plans of its route to Navy HQ before departure ? days were wasted trying to locate the sub when this info should already be in Navy HQ possession. search and rescue operations could have commenced earlier instead of wasting days trying to locate the sub. tio boh ? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoon Turbocharged April 24, 2021 Share April 24, 2021 (edited) I'm always intrigued when there are such naval incidents in our regional waters. I'm certain many neighbouring forces picked up signals they shouldnt have... esp Oz, Sg, China, US ("tsunami detection" buoys ) but have to pretend they don't know, and rely on passing hints (like Oz did).

In SG, yes for standard cruising. In Indon, i don't think so. In war games mode. Only need to submit area of operations. It can be pretty large area. Within the area, if got live firing, need to do range clearance. Vessels separate into orange and blue forces. So exact location may not be possible. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic April 24, 2021 Share April 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Tohto said: Torpedo failed to launch and exploded? The torpedo drill they had mentioned should be simulating a torpedo attack from a simulated enemy sub. But in reality there is no torpedo attack. The captain would often come up with drills to keep the crew alert. If they are able to tell the media it's a torpedo drill most likely it is a scheduled practice that the HQ would know about. The sub would dive swiftly or whatever to attempt to dodge the attack. My guess is smth went wrong from there. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray Hypersonic April 25, 2021 Share April 25, 2021 Missing Indonesian submarine has sunk, objects recovered: Military chief Quote He said that a scan has detected what might be the submarine at 850m. The vessel is built to withstand a depth of up to 500m. “Because it is at the depth of 850m, it is very risky and very difficult for an ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) … to lift it,” the navy chief added. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/indonesia-missing-submarine-sank-debris-found-kri-nanggala-14685170 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fighter jets, heli and sub need proper maintenance and cannot be too old. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are able to tell the media it's a torpedo drill most likely it is a scheduled practice that the HQ would know about. The sub would dive swiftly or whatever to attempt to dodge the attack. My guess is smth went wrong from there. There are various types of torpedo drills. From my previous experience, torpedo drills meant firing of a dummy torpedo. Firing of a torpedo uses compressed air, very high pressure. I do not think I can reveal the amount of air pressure here. As a technician, we need to charge up the air tanks for the guys to use to air. The dummy torpedo comes with a tracker and sound emitting device. After firing, we would send a small boat out to recover the torpedo to be reused again. Oh man this was my nightmare. As I was also in charge of the small dinghy boat. We ever lost the dummy torpedo and I spent a number of hours in the wide ocean in the dinghy while the guys use a probe underwater to try and find it. Both the main ship and us spread out to search. If really cannot find, ship commander would call back HQ and activate the minecounter vessels to come and search. They are more equipped with better sonar and ROV. So you see, a dummy torpedo has no explosive. Even firing of a torpedo also uses compressed air. I am not sure what went wrong. Whatever it is, the crew has been lost. Hope they had a painless death and RIP. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
