Indonesia submarine KRI Nanggala (402) went missing on 21 April 2021, after it failed to report in while undertaking a
simulated torpedo firing in preparation for a live firing later this week. The submarine had received clearance to dive
and then immediately lost contact.
On April 25, 2021, the Indonesian Chief of Staff Admiral Yudo Margono reported that the wreckage had been found, stating
"The KRI Nanggala is divided into three parts, the hull of the ship, the stern of the ship, and the main parts are
all separated, with the main part found cracked."
