The submarine was built to sustain pressure at a maximum depth of around 250 metres, according to an official. Indonesia’s military chief Hadi Tjahjanto told AFP that there were 53 crew aboard the vessel, which was believed to be in waters about 700 metres deep.

“We don’t know yet whether the communication equipments were broken or the submarine has sunken. We have to wait for at least three days,” he told Reuters.

Would they help us for the same thing though? Almost definitely not.
