New Delhi: The Indian Navy on Thursday deployed a deep submergence rescue vessel to support the Indonesian Navy’s hunt for a submarine that went missing with 53 people on board.
According to Indonesian authorities, the KRI Nanggala-402, a German-made submarine, went missing during a military exercise around the Bali Strait on Wednesday.
Indian Navy officials said a deep submergence rescue vessel (DSRV) departed from Visakhapatnam to support the Indonesian Navy in its operation to locate the diesel-electric attack submarine.
They said the Indian DSRV is fitted with the latest technology and that it has a side-scan sonar for locating the position of submarines in distress at sea.
A number of countries including Singapore and Malaysia are sending rescue vessels to help the Indonesian Navy trace the missing submarine.
