Yeah, I can see how Indonesians wouldn't raise too much suspicion there these days.
Yeah, we haven't heard anything yet?
RIP you brave people. Poseidon accepts your offering.

Well I hope they make it.

He's probably the reason for whatever went wrong.
Not much in the way of optimism out there.
Submarine Death is a shit way to go. Qxir has covered submarine disasters in the past and it sadly looks as if he has enough to make a sub disaster trilogy now:

Guys I don't think they made it.

Indonesian media is reporting either a statement or press conference to be held later today.
There have been reports that an American Poseidon-8 aircraft has detected a vessel approximately 40 km north of Bali, between 50 to 100 metres down, which they believe to be the Nanggala.
However, the two submarine support vessels aren't expected to arrive for, well, hours.

INDONESIAN NAVY STATEMENT TL;DR
Debris has been found that has been confirmed to be from the Nanggala 402. Objects found include prayer mats, periscope lubricant and heat resistant sponges. Metal debris also found indicates an explosion within the torpedo room, and the submarine is expected to be at a depth of 850 metres.
Indonesia has formally declared the Nanggala 402 to be lost with all hands.

It's all over.
BANYUWANGI, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s navy on Saturday said items were found from a missing submarine, indicating the vessel with 53 crew members had sank and there was no hope of finding survivors.
Navy Chief Yudo Margono said rescuers found several items from the KRI Nanggala 402, which disappeared after its last reported dive Wednesday off the resort island of Bali, including parts of a torpedo straightener, a grease bottle believed to be used to oil the periscope and prayer rugs.
“With the authentic evidence we found believed to be from the submarine, we have now moved from the ‘sub miss’ phase to ‘sub sunk,’” Margono said at a press conference in Bali where the found items were displayed.
Officials previously said the submarine’s oxygen supply would have run out early Saturday. Indonesia had considered the submarine as just missing.
An American reconnaissance plane, a P-8 Poseidon, landed early Saturday and was set to join the search, along with 20 Indonesian ships, a sonar-equipped Australian warship and four Indonesian aircraft.
Singaporean rescue ships were also expected later Saturday, while Malaysian rescue vessels were due to arrive Sunday, bolstering the underwater hunt, Indonesia military spokesperson Djawara Whimbo said earlier Saturday. He had said Indonesia’s hydrographic vessel was still unable to detect an unidentified object exhibiting high magnetism that was earlier detected located at a depth of 50 to 100 meters (165 to 330 feet).
There had been no signs of life from the submarine, but family members held out hope that the massive search effort would find the vessel in time.
“The family is in a good condition and keeps praying,” said Ratih Wardhani, the sister of 49-year-old crewman Wisnu Subiyantoro. “We are optimistic that the Nanggala can be rescued with all the crew.”
Indonesian President Joko Widodo had ordered all-out efforts to locate the submarine and asked Indonesians to pray for the crew’s safe return.
The search focused on an area near the starting position of its last dive where an oil slick was found but there was no conclusive evidence so far the oil slick was from the sub.
Margono, the navy cheif, had said oil could have spilled from a crack in the submarine’s fuel tank or the crew could have released fuel and fluids to reduce the vessel’s weight so it could surface.
The navy however, believes the submarine sank to a depth of 600-700 meters (2,000-2,300 feet), much deeper than its collapse depth of 200 meters (655 feet), at which water pressure would be greater than the hull could withstand.
The cause of the disappearance is still uncertain. The navy has said an electrical failure could have left the submarine unable to execute emergency procedures to resurface.
The German-built diesel-powered KRI Nanggala 402 has been in service in Indonesia since 1981 and was carrying 49 crew members and three gunners as well as its commander, the Indonesian Defense Ministry said.
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago nation with more than 17,000 islands, has faced growing challenges to its maritime claims in recent years, including numerous incidents involving Chinese vessels near the Natuna islands.

Indonesia navy declares lost sub with 53 aboard sunk

Poor bastards. I wouldn't wish that kind of death even on a Muslim.

Oh no no no beaten by water, just drink it!
This isn't surprising, really. The Indonesian Navy has historically always been shit. The country is way too big with a massive coastline and too undeveloped to be able to afford a competent green-water navy to defend its own waters effectively. There's a reason you seldom hear about this country in the news. And If you have, have you ever wondered why Indonesia doesn't pick a side in any conflict and just wants to be buddy-buddy with every country in the world (sans Israel)? Because the coastline and terrain is so indefensible that a regional power like China or Australia could exploit the country's ethnic divisions and the government wouldn't be able to do shit about it.
its a very fast death if it sank to crush depth, aside from hearing the hull scream for a moment.

I was really hoping they would be found in time. What a horrifying way to go. Rest in peace.
