Raja Samudera 
Kekuatan kapal selam negeri jiran bertambah satu setelah kedatangan yang pertama september 3 2009, kini yang kedua mulai pelayaran dari perancis menuju Malaysia pada tanggal 30 April 2010. ‘KD Tun Razak’ – the second of the two Scorpene submarines built by France for the Royal Malaysian Navy – has set sail for home.
The submarine, designed and built by France’s DCNS Group in partnership with Spain’s Navanita, left the Toulon port in France on April 30, 2010 and headed for the port of Lumut in Malaysia, DCNS said.
The crossing from Toulon to Lumut is expected to take about two months and will include several ports of call, the company said, adding the vessel will then undergo sea trials in Malaysia.
The Malaysian government had signed a contract with France in 2002 to acquire two Scorpene submarines along with associated equipment and training.
The Malaysian Navy had received its first Scorpene submarine – ‘KD Tunku Abdul Rahman’ – on September 3, 2009.
Scorpene is a diesel-electric attack submarine designed for anti-submarine and anti-surface ship warfare missions. It is equipped with anti-ship and anti-submarine torpedoes, and anti-surface missiles. The submarine features several advanced technologies, including in hydrodynamics, acoustic discretion and automation.
With a water displacement of 1,550 tonnes for a length of 67.5 metres, each Scorpene requires a crew of 31 and offers an endurance of 45 days.

Mohon ijin, ops kasel mereka belum lancar tor. Masih ada kendala duklog…Mereka masih sangat tergantung sama DCNS
Betul pak tapi ada kemauan untuk belajar dan beli 4 tahun awaknya belajar di perancis disamping Factory training mereka juga mendapatkan Operasiaonal training namun tidak banyak…
dan pada tanggal 20 April kalo gak salah DCNS signed a contract with the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) for the supply of a simulator and services allowing extensive training around navigation safety, combat system, including sensors, and periscope operations for Scorpene submarines. sejauh ini yang terjadi internal KS tsb saya belum tahu,,, Namun untuk freegat nya saya sudah tahu dari pabriknya Thales karena dosennya sama bahwa dia mengalami kegagalan dalam CMS nya.
Thanks any way
hmmm, akhirnya mereka beli simulatornya juga ya, terus bagaimana dengan agosta class mereka yang AFAIK digunakan sebagai platform melatih awak KS?
hmmm, mengingat ketidakmampuan scorpene untuk menyelam yang sampai terblow-up semoga menjadi pelajaran bagi kita juga, yang pasti kehadiran scorpene IMHO merubah perimbangan kekuatan bawah laut, semoga pemerintah concern dengan hal ini dengan tidak menunda-nunda pengadaan KS baru…
wah, CMS lekiu bermasalah ya ndan??
oh iya, salam kenal dan mohon ijin berkomentar
cuman beberapa sen dari saya yang butuh pencerahan
Trima kasih Mas Prima

Memang betul pemerintah harus sangat memperhatikan perimbangan kekuatan bawah air ini, kalau tidak maka dasar lautan kita akan di obok obok oleh negara tetangga sementara kemampuan bawah air kita menurun,,,
CMS fregatnya failed mas, karena dosen kita yang dari Pakistan namun lama tinggal di UK yang menjabarkan saat integrasinya di Malaysia, beliau menjelaskan saat kita mempelajari CMS di Hangelo Pabriknya.
Trima kasih
Salam kenal Juga salam Kebangsaan
Just Slm
wah,,,memang miris dan ironis kalo melihat daftar arms spending malaysia….semoga benar-bear ditanggapi serius oleh decision maker, kalau dari pihak TNI saya yakin pasti sudah mengkaji dengan serius masalah perimbangan kekuatan….
yang pasti selama awak Scorpene masih belum mahir benar, saya yakin kita masih sedikit di atas angin, apalagi mendengar Cakra saat diretrofit juga diupgrade jeroannya, semoga mampu mendongkrak kekuatan bawah air kita
Trima kasih mas prima atas semangat untuk mengajak dan menjadikan bangsa kita sebagai bangsa yang mengerti akan ahbitatnya dan menjadikan bangsa ini di segani oleh bangsa lain sebagai bangsa yang diperhitungkan martabatnya.
Salam kebangsaan
