A nightmare for the crew and their families.
Lets hope they can be found before tomorrow.
@NotMyIreland: All fingers crossed for them. It’s still possible that they’re on some ridge & can be reached in time.
are you telling me in this day and age that there’s no way of tracking or locating a bloody huge submarine???
@John Arsey: obviously that must be the case. It’s not large compared to the scale of the sea !
@John Arsey: the whole point of having a submarine is that they are as stealthy as possible
@Claudio Cavaliere: so there’s no protocol to deal with an Emergency on a submarine then?
@John Arsey: it’s a pretty massive sea
@John Arsey: Don’t forget MH370, we thought when that went missing we said the exact same thing.
Awful way to go
Modern submarines are extremely difficult to locate https://theconversation.com/submarines-are-designed-to-hide-so-what-happens-when-one-goes-missing-159634
