Clock ticking to find missing Indonesian submarine as oxygen dwindles [dpa]
An Indonesian military submarine that went missing off Bali with 53 people on board is expected to run out of oxygen in two days, the Navy chief said Thursday.
The German-made KRI Nanggala-402 lost contact about 95 kilometres north of Bali in the early hours of Wednesday during a torpedo attack exercise with 49 crew members, three gunners and a commander, officials said.
It is believed to be 600-700 metres underwater, the Navy said.
“In the event of an electrical failure, the oxygen can last approximately 72 hours,” Navy chief of staff Admiral Yudo Margono said at a news conference.

AKARTA, Indonesia Indonesian navy ships searched Thursday for a submarine that likely sank too deep to retrieve, making survival chances for the 53 people on board slim. Authorities said oxygen in the submarine would run out by early Saturday.
The diesel-powered KRI Nanggala 402 was participating in a training exercise Wednesday when it missed a scheduled reporting call. Officials reported an oil slick and the smell of diesel fuel near the starting position of its last dive, about 96 kilometers (60 miles) north of the resort island of Bali, though there was no conclusive evidence that they were linked to the submarine.
