The story of the Submarine being lost has been in the news for a while now... but now it's suspected that the submarine is truly lost along with all of those on board.
For the first two days after its disappearance the submarine was considered missing, but after Saturday it is likely the Type 209/1300 Cakra-class Diesel-Electric Submarine ran out of oxygen. An oil slick and debris (though no bodies) were found in the area by search parties. Over twenty ships from four different countries (Indonesia, Australia, Singapore & Malaysia etc) as well as Indonesian aircraft and a US Navy P-8 Poseidon will have joined the search by today.
Originally it was believed the submarine had sunk in waters two hundred meters deep, beyond the submarines collapse depth but earlier today, sonar scans seemed to indicate the submarine had actually sunk to a depth of 850 meters, well beyond the submarines presumed crush depth.
The KRI Nanggala had been in service with the Indonesian Navy since 1981.
