El incendio en el submarino INS Sindhuratna fue causado por un cableado defectuoso y no por las baterías, como se especulaba.
El submarino no sufrió daños de consideración y volverá al servicio tras la reparación de turno...
... ahora queda por establecer si el astillero indio donde se reparó el submarino empleó materiales inadecuados.
Fire in cables led to INS Sindhuratna mishap: Navy
The fire in submarine INS Sindhuratna, which resulted in the death of two officers and severely affected seven other sailors last week, was caused due to problems in the cables of the vessel.
The Board of Inquiry (BoI) into the February 26 mishap has found that the fire in INS Sindhuratna was caused due to problems in the cable and not the battery compartment, as was being feared earlier, Navy officials said in New Delhi.
The investigations are still going on into the incident and other two mishaps involving the Kilo Class submarines of the Navy in the last seven months, they said.
The battery pit has been found to be fully safe and the fire took place in the compartment above it, Navy officials said.
Former Navy Chief Admiral D.K. Joshi resigned after the mishap involving the Sindhuratna taking moral responsibility of the ten mishaps involving maritime force’s assets.
