The pictures show the first submarine of the series, KRI Nagabanda (hull number 403) being moved out of the construction hall on a Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT).

South Korea's DSME signed a contract in 2011 that calls for the construction of three 1,400-ton submarines (in collaboration with local shipyard PT PAL) for the Indonesian Navy for a total of $1.1 billion. The contract marked Korea's largest single export defense contract and the first submarine export contract as well.

DSME is set to built the first two submarines, KRI Nagabanda (hull number 403) and KRI Trisula (404) in South Korea while PT PAL should built the third hull KRI Nagarangsang (405) in Indonesia. PT PAL could also build follow-on hulls in the future.

The first two submarines are expected to be delivered in 2017 and 2018. Delivery of the third unit is not clear yet.

According to DSME, the vessels will be of 61.3 meters in length, and will be capable of carrying a crew of 40 sailors. These submarines will be fully armed with eight weapon tubes able to discharge all kinds of torpedoes, mines, and guided missiles.

The submarines will be equipped with Indra's Pegaso RESM system and Aries low-probability of intercept radar, Atlas Electronic CSU 90 hull-mounted passive and active search-and-attack sonar and flank sonar arrays, L-3's MAPPS integrated platform management systems and Sagem's Sigma 40XP inertial navigation systems.
