"I'm not ready to miss you"
The late Heri Oktavian submarine commander is part of the group gathered around one of the submariners playing guitar.
"I'm not ready to miss you, I'm not ready to leave you," the band sings.
"I wish you the best".
The German-built submarine, one of five in the Indonesian fleet, disappeared from radar on Wednesday as it was scheduled to participate in exercises off Bali.
The Indonesian armed forces announced on Sunday that they had found the submersible broken into three pieces by more than 800 meters deep and that the entire crew had perished.
