Specifications edit
Nagapasa-class diesel-electric submarines, including Nagapasa herself, are 61.3 metres (201 ft 1 in) long and 7.6 metres (24 ft 11 in) wide, with a displacement of 1,400 tonnes and a submerged speed of 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph).[2] The vessel has a maximum operating range of 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km).[3]
Equipment edit
Nagapasa is equipped with Black Shark torpedoes manufactured by Italian Whitehead Sistemi Subacquei, which has a speed of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) and a range of 50 kilometres (31 mi), and utilizes the Kongsberg MSI-90U Mk 2 Combat Management System and the Wärtsilä ELAC KaleidoScope sonar suite (consisting of a cylindrical array, a flank array, an acoustic intercept sonar and a mine avoidance sonar). For navigation, the vessel uses the Sagem Sigma 40 XP inertial navigation system and the ECPINS-W Integrating Navigation and Tactical Systems from OSI Maritime Systems.[4]
Nagapasa's periscope is a combination of the Hensoldt Sero 400 and OMS 100.[5] Submarines of the class also possess ZOKA acoustic torpedo countermeasures manufactured by Turkish company ASELSAN.[6]
Service history edit
The submarine was ordered on 21 December 2011 as part of a US$1.07 billion contract between Indonesia and South Korea to provide three submarines, with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering being awarded the contract.[7] A keel laying ceremony was held on 9 April 2015 and the vessel was launched on 24 March 2016, followed by a year-long crew training and sea trials.[2]
The vessel was commissioned by Indonesian Minister of Defense Ryamizard Ryacudu in South Korea on 2 August 2017. Afterwards, the submarine sailed to Surabaya, where she was received by Chief of Staff of the Navy Ade Supandi on 28 August 2017.[8] Her name is based on the Nagapasha, a mythical weapon in the Ramayana.[9] Nagapasa was then assigned to the Indonesian Navy Eastern Fleet Command (Koarmatim).[10]
Shortly after Nagapasa's commissioning, she experienced power shortages and required a battery replacement.[11]
