Submarine lost contact · 9:49am Apr 21st, 2021
Indonesian submarine KRI Nanggala has been reported missing while conducting drill near Bali. Search and Rescue underway.
Nanggala is one of 2 Cakra (Type 209) submarines Indonesia acquired from Germany in the 1980s. An older Type 209, different from the newer Chang Bogo-class submarines.
It’s unknown what happened to Nanggala. Hopefully a system error and the crew are alive. Praying it’s not the San Juan or the Kursk all over again.
