A missing Indonesian submarine has been found, broken into at least 3 parts, deep in the Bali Sea, army and navy officials said on Sunday, as the president sent condolences to relatives of the 53-person crew.

Rescuers found new objects, including a life vest, that they believe belong to those aboard the 44-year old KRI Nanggala-402, which lost contact on Wednesday as it prepared to conduct a torpedo drill.

"The KRI Nanggala is divided into three parts, the hull of the ship, the stern of the ship, and the main parts are all separated, with the main part found cracked," he said. "All of us Indonesians express our deep sorrow over this tragedy, especially to the families of the submarine crew." Residents of the East Java town of Banyuwangi, which hosts the naval base from where search and rescue operations are being conducted, joined nationwide calls to accelerate the modernisation of Indonesia's defence forces.

It was made in West German in 1971?

Condolences to the families and friends.

Such a shame. These communist countries buy current weapons and a country like this has to use a 40 yr old sub. May they Rest In Peace

Chinese made shit always breaks.

Sounds like we need the Drain the Oceans guys to investigate.

Wow that's heartbreaking and sickening to hear! A salute to them.

Good job

Rest In Peace.😢🙏🏻

How did the submarine break 3?

That's so tragic...

Prayers to the families of crew members they RIP

From the airline now it’s a submarine? There is more that’s meet the eye.

God bless those 53 men who died. RIP !

One of the hazards of buying imperialist 'leftovers'. They never even had time to put on the suit that *might* have saved a few. Terribly tragic.
