escue efforts continue for a missing Indonesian submarine with 53 crew aboard, believed sunk in deep water north of Bali.
Indonesian search teams have identified an area where the submarine may be located, CNN reported Friday. A navy ship found an object 164 to 328 feet below the surface, about 25 miles north of Bali, where an oil slick can be seen.
The sub disappeared Wednesday morning 60 miles north of Bali after a military exercise, Indonesia's navy said.
At the time, officials believed that the sub was more than 2,000 feet deep, making recovery impossible, authorities said.

(21,627 posts)The ARA San Juan tragedy is still hugely controversial in Argentina, especially after evidence recently surfaced that it was actually located within days of the sinking (rather than a year later, as the official story goes) - and that then-President Macri knew.
I don't doubt that Indonesia's government will treat the upcoming investigation a lot more responsibly and ethically than Trump's pal Macri did (a low bar, to be sure).
Above all, Godspeed to the 53 sailors.
