India is among a few countries globally that are capable of undertaking search-and-rescue operations for a disabled submarine through a DSRV. The submarine, the KRI Nanggala-402, disappeared without a trace on Wednesday off the island of Bali. The Indian Navy sent the DSRV following an alert it received through the International Submarine Escape and Rescue Liaison Office (ISMERLO) about the missing Indonesian submarine.

The Indian Navy has already deployed a DSRV to support the Indonesian Navy's search-and-rescue mission for the missing submarine. There were new commissionings in 2017, 2018 and as recently as last monthwith the first submarine to be assembled in Indonesia, the KRI Aluguro, accepted into service. Indonesia said Friday it will salvage a submarine that sank off the coast of Bali, as grieving relatives paid their respects to the dozens of crew killed in the disaster.

The incident was believed to be the first major submarine disaster for Indonesia, which has been moving to upgrade its ageing military equipment in recent years. They said the "intervention system" is capable of tracing any submarine at "great depth". Navy officials said the "intervention system" being airlifted to Indonesia is part of the Indian Navy's second deep submergence rescue vessel (DSRV). "The transport aircraft will position at Mumbai and Visakhapatnam on April 23 for the loading of the equipment and fly out to Surbhaya, Indonesia on April 24," the official said. Indonesia’s navy has located a submarine that went missing on Wednesday off the coast of Bali.
