in 1952 and included as SS type Whisky Class. This submarine was disabled on
January 25, 1990 and assembled to be a submarine monument (Monkasel) on

KRI Pasopati 410 used to play an important role in enforcing the state
sovereignty and the law of the sea, such as in the operation of Trikora in 1962.

former chief engineer of KRI Cakra 401 (made in West German), dreaming of
being ordered by the Navy Chief of Staff to bring this submarine sailing accross

submarine beside Surabaya Plaza. They separate this submarine to several
pieces then carried to the land and assembled back to be a a whole submarine.
