Indonesia's Navy is searching for a missing submarine with 53 people on board that went missing during a military exercise on Wednesday and is seeking help from neighboring Australia and Singapore in the hunt, Indonesian authorities say.

The Indonesian Ministry of Defense stated the KRI Nanggala-402, a German-made submarine, lost contact during a torpedo drill in the Bali Strait a stretch of water between the islands of Java and Bali that connects to the Indian Ocean and the Bali Sea.

The submarine asked for permission to dive, or submerge, at 3 a.m. local time (3 p.m. ET) before losing contact.

'After permission was given to dive according to the procedure, the submarine lost contact and could not be reached,' Indonesia's Defence Ministry said.

The navy requested help from other nations with submarine rescue vessels and Australia, Singapore and India have responded, the ministry said in a statement.

The search is currently being carried out by two Indonesian warships equipped with side-scan sonar, a tool used for mapping the seafloor, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The International Submarine Escape and Rescue Liaison Office (ISMERLO), an organization that facilitates an international response for distressed submarines, is also providing assistance, it said.

Several countries, including Australia, India and Singapore have offered to provide assistance.

Officials fear the vessel sank to the bottom of a trough with a depth of 2,300ft during the torpedo military exercise.

The navy has deployed a number of warships to search for the missing crew.

Military analyst Soleman Ponto said it is too early to determine the fate of the submarine conclusively.

'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 said.

This particular case reminds me of the ARA San Juan submarine incident... That one was also a German-made submarine.

Hope they don't run out out of oxygen It may be their communication system got down or they lost navigation

They don sell am

At such depth of travel it will be an impossible task,but they surely will find them I pray

Too sad

Hope they don't run out out of oxygen
It may be their communication system got down or they lost navigation

Where is the P8A Poseidon sub hunter when you need it.

What a tragic incident! I pray they found them alive.

One Nairaland Pastor Will Tell Us That Submarine Has Been Hijacked To The Marine Kingdom.
But I Pray Nigerian Goverment Will Not Buy It As 'Refubished Submarine' When Found.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad

Thank it is not Nigeria Navy ship, heaven for let loose for backlash from the three major tribes.
*No love.
*No understanding.
*No coexistence.
*Always wailing.
*Always ranting.
*No appreciation from within and offshore.
*Religion and ethnicity problem within the three tribes.

But why?why??and why, until we tend to appreciate and accommodate one and other for whom we are.No matter what the tribe, religion and ethnicity is,before we can progress.

Nah wah, that's the problem with subs they sit at the bottom of the ocean making it hard for rescue operation.

The submarine will be found in ladipo Lagos Nigeria after 3 market days, it will be dismantled into various pieces and resold to iron dealers. This I have seen

Nothing new about it, search team should commence operation.

Nothing will happen to the crew members. They'll all be found alive and sound.

HOPE IT HASNT GONE NEAR THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE? I NO TRUST THAT THING AS THIS SUBMARINE NA IRON SO
