BANYUWANGI, 24 April, 2021 (TON): Items have been found from a missing submarine, indicating the vessel with 53 crew members has sunk, said the Indonesian army.

Rescuers found several items including parts of a torpedo straightner, a grease bottle believed to be used to oil the periscope and prayer rugs from the submarine, Navy Chief Yudo Margono said on Saturday.

Margano said, “With the authentic evidence we found believed to be from the submarine, we have now moved from the sub miss phase to sub sunk.”

Indonesia earlier considered the submarine that disappeared on Thursday off Bali as just missing. However, it now declares the submarine as officially sank with no hopes of finding any survivors.
