April 22 (Reuters) – The Indonesian Navy is searching for its submarine KRI Nanggala-402 after it lost contact with the vessel in waters off Bali on Wednesday. Here are some other notable submarine accidents:
Losharik fire
In July 2019, a fire onboard the nuclear-powered Russian deepwater research submarine Losharik killed 14 crewmembers. Five of those onboard survived, according to reports, and the submarine was recovered and repaired.
ARA San Juan lost
The Argentinian diesel-electric submarine disappeared while on patrol in November 2017. After weeks of search and rescue efforts, it was declared lost along with all 44 people aboard. Its wreckage was discovered the next year in about 900 meters of water.
