Indonesian submarine gone amiss

^There's not a chance of finding them alive and they'll be extremely lucky to find the sub in shallow water within a week or a month never mind that deeper water it reportedly disappeared in.

Looking at everything that is coming out I'm hearing the boat is down in 700 to 800m deep waters and well if she is down in one piece the only way she is making that depth is if she flooded first.

Personally and I know I sound like an ass in saying this but i hope the above is not the case and the boat was crushed simply because it would be quick and painless.

But I hope I am totally wrong on both counts

BBC isn't updating which isn't encouraging.

The boat went out with 56 men she normally carries 30-36 she has been down for now nearly 2 days

The air in that boat is going to be running out fast

A few hours ago the BBC news on tv estimated they had 72 hours worth of air remaining.

I read it does not have an emergency docking adapter, also it may be too deep to use any emergency equipment. Looks bad.

Likely under ideal situation where the air may not be contaminated, but also the 209 while it can stay down for a considerable time 72 hours for me is a bit hopeful at best.

Doesn't need an adapter its the rescue vessel that needs the skirt if its going to dock, and that's something LR5 will most certainly have.

The boat is west German designed so its up to NATO standard for sure, even the Russian hatches can work with Western DSRV's (and have)

My fear is if she is down in 700m of water and in one piece that to me says it all, she is flooded right through, the 209 I don't believe could survive that depth intact.

Their navy says debris found near an oil slick at the sub'S last known position was formed by items form inside the boat that could not have reached to the outside without either huge pressure damage to the hull or damage at the torpedo launchers.

I slowly start to cautiously assume that the boat has imploded very early in the "event". Maybe the implosion was the event.

At least no slow miserable death.
