This includes the rear vertical rudder, anchors, outer pressure body, embossed dive rudder and other ship parts”. The military chief Hadi Tjahjanto told reporters in Bali on Sunday.
“With this authentic evidence, we can declare that KRI Nanggala 402 has sunk and all the crew members are dead”. Tjahjanto said.
