Sunk Indonesian submarine found split into 3 pieces

(UTV | INDONESIA) – An Indonesian navy submarine that sank off the coast of Bali on Wednesday has been found split into three pieces on the sea bed, officials say.

All the vessel’s 53 crew have been confirmed dead.

Navy officials said they had received signals from the sub’s location more than 800m (2,600ft) deep early on Sunday.

An underwater rescue vehicle loaned by Singapore was sent down to get visual confirmation of the wreckage.

The KRI Nanggala disappeared after requesting permission to dive during a torpedo drill. The reason for its sinking is not yet clear.
