BALI: Indonesian warships led the hunt Thursday for a navy submarine that went missing with 53 crew aboard during regular exercises, as other nations sent vessels to help. An oil spill where the submarine was thought to have submerged early Wednesday pointed to possible damage, and fanned fears in the Southeast Asian nation of disaster. While the KRI Nanggala 402 may have several days’ worth of oxygen reserves, defence analysts warned that the vessel could break into pieces if it had sunk to depths believed to be as much as 700 metres (2,300 feet).

Text Size: A+ New Delhi: An Indonesian conventional submarine that went missing this week with 53 persons on board off the coast of Bali is a HDW Type 209 vessel built by Germany and is similar to what India operates, but with one major difference. The four HDW Type 209 submarines operated by India has a detachable rescue pod that can accommodate the over 50 crew members in case they have to abandon the vessel due to any complications. This feature is unique to the Indian Navy. The 1,300 tonne KRI Nanggala submarine does not have this feature and the latest reports say that the vessel only has less than 48 hours of oxygen left.
