Submarine with 53 sailors sunk: Broken apart in 800 meters - first explanations of the cause
Update from April 25, 9.24 a.m
.: There is no longer any hope of survivors.
The Indonesian military submarine with 53 people on board that disappeared off the island of Bali has sunk.
The Navy assumes that the "KRI Nanggala 402" built in Germany broke apart at a depth of around 800 meters.
The navy and the military have changed the status of the submarine “KRI Nanggala 402” from “lost contact” to “sunken”, reports Indonesian media.
President Joko Widodo expressed his "deep sadness" at the incident and described the missing sailors as Indonesia's "best patriots".
After a search party discovered debris on Saturday, the Indonesian Navy, according to its own statements, concentrated on determining the exact position of the sunken submarine in order to recover further remains.
On Saturday, search parties had found items from inside the submarine, among other things, which, according to Marine Chief Yudo Margono, would not have been able to get outside without “external pressure” or “damage” to the torpedo launcher.
The debris was found at the point where the submarine was last submerged.
Margono ruled out that the parts came from another submarine.
Among the finds were part of the torpedo system and a bottle of grease that is used to lubricate the periscope.
The rescue workers also fished a Muslim prayer rug from the sea.
Indonesian submarine sunk - what actually happened?
The authorities have initially not given an official explanation for the sudden disappearance of the submarine.
They also did not comment on the question of whether the submarine was possibly overloaded.
The military only announced that the "KRI Nanggala 402" was seaworthy.
According to the authorities, there may have been a power failure in the submarine, which meant that the crew could no longer appear.
Margono ruled out an explosion.
Rather, everything indicates that the submarine broke apart under the water pressure at a depth of 800 meters, as it was not built for this depth.
Despite the found debris, the relatives of Lieutenant Mohammed Imam Adi, who was the father of a young son, did not want to give up hope.
"My wish is that my son and the entire crew are found," said Adi's father Edy Sujianto, who lives on the island of Java.
“My son wanted to be a soldier since he was a child.
That was his dream. "
The sunken boat was one of five submarines built in Germany and South Korea and owned by Indonesia.
The construction of the 1300-ton submarine type 209 by the industrial giant ThyssenKrupp began in 1978.
In 1981 it was delivered to Indonesia.
The disappearance of the “KRI Nanggala 402” brought back memories of the “Kursk” accident in 2000. When the Russian nuclear submarine sank in the Barents Sea, all 118 people on board died.
An investigation later concluded that the accident was caused by a defective torpedo.
