KRI Pasopati

KRI Pasopati (Ex-S290) was a submarine of the Indonesian Navy.

Design

The initial design was developed in the early 1940s as a sea-going follow on to the S-class submarine. As a result of war experience and the capture of German technology at the end of the war, the Soviets issued a new design requirement in 1946. The revised design was developed by the Lazurit Design Bureau based in Gorkiy. Like most conventional submarines designed 1946–1960, the design was heavily influenced by the Type XXI U-boat.[1]

History

Pasopati was one of twelve vessels given to the Indonesian Navy in 1952. Pasopati was involved in Operation Trikora in 1961 she was used to transport marines and arms to the Indonesian army in West Iran and during those operations she was badly damaged.[2] She was retired in 1995 after 30 years of service and was preserved into a museum.
