RESCUERS found wrecks in the sea that would belong to the submarine Kri Nanggala 402, missing for days with 53 crew members in the Bali Strait where it was engaged in an exercise with real torpedoes. Military sources report it. “In the past few days we have recovered debris and objects from the last position the submarine was submerged from,” Navy chief Yudo Margono told reporters. “(The objects) would not have exited the submarine if there was no external pressure or damage to its torpedo launcher.”
The hopes of saving the dozens of people aboard the submarine The missing Indonesian had already faded into the night when, according to estimates, oxygen reserves could have run out. Among the objects found there are a bottle of grease probably used to oil the periscope and mats for prayers: “With what we found and believe to come from the submarine, we went from the phase in which we believed that the submarine had disappeared to that in which we think it sank, “added Margono.
Off the coast of Bali, the US and Australia have joined the research. As warships, planes and hundreds of military personnel participate in the frantic search for the submarine, authorities said the ship had enough oxygen for just three days after losing engine power. But this deadline passed overnight. “There has been no progress,” said Navy spokesman Julius Widjojono. “We’re still scouring the area.”
The submarine – one of five in the Indonesian fleet – disappeared Wednesday in a live torpedo drill off Indonesia. The wildfire spotted where the submarine it submerged could indicate damage to the fuel tank, and this already fueled fears of a fatal disaster for the boat and crew. “The oil spill is a bad sign,” said former French Vice Admiral Jean-Louis Vichot. “If it comes from submarine, then it’s probably the end. ”There were concerns that the submarine it could have been crushed by the pressure of the water if it sank to depths of up to 700 meters, well beyond the 200-meter limit for which the hull of the submarine of German production. Concerns that, with the discovery of debris from the submarine, have dramatically consolidated.
