摘要

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) has commissioned its third and final Nagapasa (Type 209/1400)-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK) in a ceremony held on an island in the South China Sea. The boat, KRI Alugon (405), entered service on 6 April in an event presided over by Indonesian Armed Forces Chief Air Vice Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto at the naval base on Great Natuna Island. A day before the vessel's commissioning the TNI-AL also held a ceremony to mark the start of construction of a new naval base at the same location.
