53 Crew Members Dead After Indonesian Submarine Sinks in Bali Strait
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Indonesia's military has located the wreckage of an Indonesian Navy
submarine, with all 53 crew members aboard presumed dead. The submarine
broke into three pieces and settled at the bottom of the Bali Strait at
a depth of 850 meters. An Indonesian admiral said the Navy lost contact
with the 44-year-old submarine Wednesday ahead of a planned torpedo
drill and that the vessel likely suffered an explosion.
