from old indomiliter article :
Untung tak dapat diraih, malang tak dapat ditolak, secanggih dan kuatnya sosok kapal selam modern, tetap ada potensi mengalami kecelakaan yang berujung pada karam atau kandasnya kapal selam di dasar lautan. Bila hal itu terjadi, tentu dibutuhkan kesigapan dari awak kapal untuk bisa menyelamatkan...

The best and safest choice for the evacuation of submarine crews is through the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV). This mini submarine vehicle can carry out the evacuation of a relatively large number of crew members and can avoid the crew from the danger of decompression. In order for the DSRV vehicle to dock with the sunken submarine, of course,
a battery door that fits the DSRV is of course needed. For the door refer to the NAVSEA standard 0994-LP-013-9010.
However, unfortunately the two current submarines belonging to the Indonesian Navy, namely Type 209 - KRI Cakra 401 and KRI Nanggala 402, have not been equipped with a door that can be connected to the DSRV.
Changbogo Class which is currently being worked on in South Korea, the submarine is designed with a battery door according to the standard NAVSEA 0994-LP-013-9010.
They refer to an old NAVSEA, NAVSEA does not standardize rescue seat but the whole SRV operations, for the referred NAVSEA see:
For the new NAVSEA and read whole SR operations manual:
he /she they should have a look at here before bragging about a standard they have seen online.
the NAVSEA they have linked is about whole of rescue operations, not particularly about rescue hatch/seat.
594–3.1.3 DSRV SKIRT. Under the DSRV’s center sphere is a hemispherical skirt and shock mitigation system that allows the DSRV to mate with the rescue seat on the submarine’s rescue/escape trunk (see Figure 594–2–2). The skirt allows a watertight seal to be made between the DSRV and the submarine. After a seal is made, the submarine’s upper access hatch can be opened and swung up into the skirt cavity.
rescue seat is a hatch with flattened -fairing plate around allowing DSRV to make a watertight-sealed connection.
the standard s/he -they referred is older than cakra herself.
Also: a
group of hundreds on the way to rescue are dumb but the people who writes that are the smart one? can they care to explain why swift-rescue and Indians are on the way for rescue operations if the submarine is not capable of it? They can at first, try to use their brain before making conclusions.
Also: rescue seat standard and certification:
JFD’s certication process will recognise either full compliance or non compliance to the requirements ANEP/MNEP 85/85.1 and the ability to safely mate with the listed SRVs in the table below. JFD can tailor the certication process to meet specic customer requirements or for other rescue capabilities not listed below whilst remaining in the boundaries of the requirements.
Short of the long: the sub probably doesn't have an aft hatch on engine compartment this is most important when the hull is breached and personnel has escaped to most aft or fore sections to secure watertight compartments. This could mean,if this has happened and some personnel has escaped to aft compartment it will be challenging to rescue them.
i dont think that torpedo loading hatch because on cakra class they load the torpedo through torpedo tube.

Maybe for convenience, the torpedo hatch is definitely used for that purpose since WWII.
They are directly loading a torpedo tube in the picture, not replenishing the storage.
