Indonesian navy finds items from missing submarine, no hope of finding survivors
Indonesia’s navy says items have been found from a missing submarine, indicating the vessel with 53 crew members has sunk.
Navy Chief Yudo Margono said rescuers found several items including parts of a torpedo straightener, a grease bottle believed to be used to oil the periscope and prayer rugs from the submarine.
Admiral Margono said “with the authentic evidence found believed to be from the submarine” the search and rescue effort is now operating under the understanding that the vessel has sunk.
Indonesia earlier considered the submarine that disappeared on Thursday off Bali as just missing, but it now declares there is no hope of finding any survivors.
Officials said oxygen supply for its 53 crew ran out early on Saturday.
