Time running out for missing Indonesian submarine as U.S. joins search

Let there be a happy end to this.

It's not looking good. It was apparently operating in water that far exceeds its maximum operating and crush depth. They also said that even if it was still intact they only had enough air to last until Saturday morning.

This was reported on radio today. My father in law was in submarines but he died when she was two. Anything to do with submarines makes her think about the father she didnt know. She was the same with the Kursk disaster. Not looking good but lets keep hoping.

Doesn't look good.

If the submarine is rated for 800 feet and the depth is 2000, they are done for. May they rest in peace. Shades of the USS THRESHER.

BBC was reporting this morning that the Indonesian Navy has declared the sub and crew lost, and suspects that it was an explosion relating to one of the torpedoes.

Real shame to see, my condolences to those involved.

Wonder what the cause was, looks like it's probably torpedo firing related?
