KRI Ardadedali

KRI Ardadedali (404) is a submarine belonging to the Indonesian Navy. These submarines are part of the upgraded Chang Bogo class.

The ship was ordered on 21 December 2011 as part of a US$ 1.07 billion contract between Indonesia and South Korea to provide three submarines, with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) being awarded the contract. As part of the deal, two of the submarines (Nagapasa and Ardadedali) were constructed in South Korea, while the third one (Alugoro) was constructed in PT PAL's shipyard in Surabaya as part of a technology transfer program. Ardedali's keel was laid in 2014 and she was launched on 24 October 2016.

Ardadedali was delivered and commissioned in a ceremony at DSME's shipyard in Okpo, Geoje on 25 April 2018, before sailing to its base in Surabaya. She was attached to the Indonesian Navy's 2nd Fleet Command, based in Surabaya. Her name Ardadedali was based on an arrow in possession of Arjuna in the Mahabharata epic.
