  • The RSS Courageous was on patrol off the waters of Pedra Branca on 3 January 2003 and was travelling on the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme when she made a turn against the flow of shipping at 2325 hrs local time. A collision with ANL Indonesia subsequently took place at 2335 hrs. A large-scale search-and-rescue operation was conducted 3–15 January by the Republic of Singapore Navy, the Police Coast Guard and Police and naval units from Indonesia. Four female sailors were at the stern of the patrol vessel in their sleeping quarters, believed to have been asleep. The ANL Indonesia was sailing to South Korea when her bow struck the RSS Courageous's rear and sheared off the stern. The sailors were believed to have been killed instantly, and two of their bodies sank into the sea as the merchant ship backed away from the stern of the patrol vessel. Divers later recovered the body of CPL Goh Hui Ling lodged between the bunks after the vessel was put in dry dock at Changi Naval Base. The bodies of 1SG Heng Sock Ling and 1SG Seah Ai Leng washed up on the Indonesian resort of Pulau Bintan and Sebong, north-west of Pulau Bintan on the 5 January 2003. The body of 2SG Chua Bee Lin was never found. Her body was originally believed to been lodged in the stern of the patrol boat which broke off following the collision and sank on the seabed. A salvage team from Smit International successfully lifted the wreckage on 14 January 2003 but her body was not found.
