First new submarine in 36 years.

[Vanhelsing]

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) has commissioned the first of three new Type 209/1400 diesel-electric submarines (SSKs) it ordered from South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) in 2011.

The vessel, which has been named KRI Nagapasa with pennant number 403, was handed over by the company on 2 August, and subsequently inducted by the TNI-AL in commissioning ceremony held at DSME’s Okpo shipyard on Geoje Island in South Korea on the same day.

Google Translate's Bahasa seems pretty accurate:

The Navy is also required to conduct continuous, gradual and continuous training to improve the professionalism of the Kuman Nagapasa-403 comedian.

Good grief, a submarine! It's bad enough risking life and limb on the ferries, aircraft, buses and any other form of transport without putting poor sailors in a submarine, hope they get danger money

....., hope they get danger money

I'd wager only swimming lessons.

I hope they will get a decent life insurance. It could end up like this:

Google Translate's Bahasa seems pretty accurate:

It's hit and miss, but you get the gist of it, and the pictures.

Besides, I don't need the translator.

Well at least it's been built in Korea and not somewhere like China or locally assembled.
