Australia has committed two warships to the search effort, while the U.S. adds a reconnaissance plane to help Indonesia’s navy locate a missing submarine with 53 crew members aboard.
"We will maximize the effort today, until the time limit tomorrow at 3 a.m.," military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Achmad Riad told reporters. A fleet of 24 Indonesian ships and a patrol plane scoured the seas around 60 miles north of Bali for the submarine, focusing on an area where an oil slick was found after the disappearance. Singapore, Malaysia and India immediately assisted in the search effort, with other nations offering as well, according to the U.S. Naval Institute.More Related News
