1:17Now PlayingTwo Indonesian Navy ships left a port in East Java Friday to join an urgent search for a submarine that disappeared two days ago and has less than a day's supply of oxygen left for its 53 crew.
The KRI Karel Satsuit Tubun and KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata left Banyuwangi to search for the KRI Nanggala 402 vessel.
The submarine likely fell too deep to retrieve. Neighboring countries rushed their rescue ships to support the complex operation.
The navy said it believes the submarine sank to a depth of 600-700 meters (2,000-2,300 feet) — much deeper than its collapse depth estimated at 200 meters (656 feet) by a firm that refitted the vessel in 2009-2012.
The diesel-powered KRI Nanggala 402 was participating in a training exercise Wednesday when it missed a scheduled reporting call.
Officials reported an oil slick and the smell of diesel fuel near the starting position of its last dive, about 96 kilometers (60 miles) north of the resort island of Bali, though there has been no conclusive evidence that they are linked to the submarine.
Indonesia's navy chief of staff said rescuers found an unidentified object with high magnetism in the area and that officials hope it's the submarine.
