PETALING JAYA: The navy’s KD Pendekar has sunk after hitting an underwater object off the coast of Johor, leading to a leak.

In a statement, the Royal Malaysian Navy said the ship capsized two nautical miles southeast of Tanjung Penyusop, Johor, at 3.54pm.

That is odd. Operational discipline clearly not enforced. One breached hull shouldn't lead to a sinking as compartments are isolated with watertight doors at the bulkheads.

If it hit a submarine, that sub would also be damaged as badly and would have surfaced.

It's more likely the sea water chest leak could not be stopped. A noob error. Chief engineer need to be court martialled.

A Malaysian navy fast-attack craft sank off the coast of Johor after a suspected collision with an underwater object on Sunday, Aug. 25, The Star reported.

The incident occurred two nautical miles (around 3.74km) southeast of Tanjung Penyusop, on the southeastern tip of the peninsula, which is about 50km from mainland Singapore.

The silent hunters: Deep dive into Singapore's submarines​

The launch of Singapore’s final Invincible-class submarine on April 22 marked a new era in the Republic’s submarine journey.

Mudland should retaliate. Sure win one. Sinkies are not going to war to protect foreigners.

Cut the water supply and naval blockade.

Nah. It's incompetence on the sailors of RMN. Otherwise you'd see a submarine surface with extensive damage, or frantic effort at saving a sunken submarine.
