Asia’s largest submarine monument draws visitors to the banks of the Kalimas River south of downtown Surabaya. Built in Vladivostok, Russia, in 1952, the KRI Pasopati 410 is a Whiskey-class sub that was used by the Indonesian navy from the early 1960s until it was decommissioned in 1990. Grounded on land and accessed by stairs, the 76-meter-long (249-foot-long) sub has been modified very little since its service days and even still smells a little of engine oil. Onboard, visitors can tour the submarine’s crew quarters, officers’ lounge, control room and torpedo room, and of course, look through the periscope.
