Our navy do allow kelings, provided they don't have operational control of the submarine's hatch. We certainly don't want our subs to dive while the hatch remains open.

Bwahaha! The one and only such incident in the world. Incredibly Indian.

Based on the muskim bible, they will be judged by their deeds.
OK thanks for that revelation, Einstein:rolleyes::biggrin: . If one's not judged by one's deeds, then what does the Almighty use to judge? What KPI?:biggrin: Anyway, all this is rubbish lah. We will all be reincarnated on Mars.

Based on clinical deaths evidence, it seems thats what it is. In one instance, your entire life was revealed before a " being of light".

Yeah, read those reports before about NDE patients. Saw themselves floating up from their bodies, zooming into a tunnel and surrounding by bright coloured lights, presence of departed loved ones, presence of a warm loving bright entity. Don't know how true all these are, but I do know the soul is eternal.

DENPASAR, April 25 — A missing Indonesian submarine has been found, broken into at least three parts, at the bottom of the Bali Sea, army and navy officials said today, as the president sent condolences to relatives of the 53 crew.
Rescuers also 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.
“Based on the evidence, it can be stated that the KRI Nanggala has sunk and all of its crew have died,” military chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto told reporters.
Navy chief of staff Yudo Margono said the crew were not to blame for the accident and that the submarine did not experience a blackout, blaming “forces of nature”.
“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. “There are scattered parts of the submarine and its interior in the water.”
President Joko Widodo earlier confirmed the discovery in the Bali Sea and sent the families of the victims his condolences.
“All of us Indonesians express our deep sorrow over this tragedy, especially to the families of the submarine crew.”
A sonar scan yesterday detected the submarine at 850 metres, far beyond the Nanggala’s diving range.
More than a dozen helicopters and ships are searching the area where contact was lost, with the United States, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia providing assistance.
Navy officials said international help will be crucial in recovering the remains of the vessel.
Singapore Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean wrote on social media late on Sunday that a ROV (remotely operated vehicle) sent by the Singapore Navy was able to “recover a few critical items from the seabed at depth of more than 800 metres”.
“We hope that this will help the families find some closure and certainty on the fate of their loved ones,” he added.
Search teams said yesterday they had found objects including prayer mat fragments near the submarine’s last known location, leading the navy to believe the vessel had cracked.
Indonesia police said it would deploy teams to Bali and the Java town of Banyuwangi, which hosts the naval base from where the main search and recovery operations are being conducted, to help identify the victims once the bodies are retrieved.
Residents of Banyuwangi joined nationwide calls to accelerate the modernisation of Indonesia’s defence forces.
“This can be a learning point for the government to advance its military technology and be careful in how it uses its (existing) technology because its people’s lives are at stake,” said 29-year old resident Hein Ferdy Sentoso.
Southeast Asia’s most-populous country has sought to revamp its military capability, yet some equipment is still old and there have been fatal accidents in recent years.
Indonesia had five submarines before the latest accident: two German-built Type 209s including Nanggala and three newer South Korean vessels. — Reuters

BALI (AFP, XINHUA) - The missing Indonesian submarine has been found and all the crew members on board perished, the Indonesian authorities said on Sunday (April 25).

The wreckage of the missing vessel was located on the sea floor off Bali island, Indonesian Military Chief Hadi Tjahjanto and Navy Chief of Staff Yudo Margono said.

Search-and-rescue efforts for the submarine with 53 crew members had gone on for days, with the Indonesian Armed Forces announcing on Saturday that they had found debris believed to be from the vessel.

The submarine was taking part in torpedo-firing drill off Bali on Wednesday when it dove and lost contact.

Assets from foreign countries have been deployed to help with the search-and-rescue efforts, including from Singapore, Malaysia and the United States.

Those patients did not die, so they can't represent death experience. The dead goes through the proper departed souls stairway. These nde souls probably wandered into the broom closet.

Indonesia to salvage submarine after deadly sinking disaster - The Online Citizen Asia
Indonesia said Friday it will salvage a submarine that sank off the coast of Bali, as grieving relatives paid their respects to the dozens of crew killed in the disaster.

Authorities had yet to confirm if they would try to haul up the KRI Nanggala 402 from the seafloor, after it was spotted cracked in three pieces.

The navy on Friday said it was waiting on the arrival of two ships, including a vessel sent by China, that are equipped to handle deep-sea salvage operations.

High-powered magnets and air balloons were among the possible options, but how and when the cracked submarine would be brought to the surface was uncertain, said navy chief Yudo Margono.

“It’s hard to talk about specific timing, but I can say that as soon as help arrives, we’ll start,” he told reporters.

The submarine’s 53-strong crew are believed to still be inside the vessel, Margono said.

An underwater rescue vehicle supplied by neighbouring Singapore gave visual confirmation that the German-built sub was lying on the sea floor more than 800 metres (2,600 feet) deep.

The eerie images were final confirmation that there was no hope of finding survivors.

On Friday, victims’ families cast flowers from a navy ship into waters where the sub went down as part of a remembrance ceremony.

The submarine — one of five in Indonesia’s fleet — disappeared last week while it was scheduled to take part in live torpedo training exercises.

The crew asked for permission to dive. It lost contact shortly after.

Later, search teams spotted an oil spill where the vessel was thought to have submerged, pointing to possible fuel tank damage and a catastrophic accident.

The military has yet to offer an official explanation for the sinking of the decades-old submarine, which was delivered to the Southeast Asian nation in 1981.

It has said, however, that the reconditioned vessel was seaworthy and discounted the possibility of an explosion.

The navy has said that the submarine may have suffered a blackout and left the crew unable to perform emergency measures.

Its hull would have been torn apart as it sunk to depths far below what the KRI Nanggala was built to withstand, they said.

The submarine’s former commander, Rear Admiral Muhammad Ali, has told local media that a so-called internal solitary wave could have been to blame.

The natural phenomenon occurs when different sea depths come together, creating forces that could have dragged the vessel down, he said.
