Interesting possibility!

Reading the article, it doesn’t say what thpe of debris was recovered. I wonder if that might yield clues to what happened?

Wasn’t that Russian leviathan, the Kursk, lost when a torpedo malfunctioned and exploded? It sank in water shallower than its length!

There are about a million things that can wrong and sink a dub at depth. Hard to say if the debris recovered will shed much light on the casualty that happened. There is certainly the chance that the debris will help the investigators. Remember though, the investigation by the Indonesians is unlikely to report the true cause of this sinking because their main goal will to be the need to save face. Saving face and covering up anything that will cause institutional embarrassment will be the overarching goal of any report about this sub sinking.

A former student was aboard USS Toledo ‘in the area’ where the Kursk was lost. He had nothing to say about any of it. The Russians at first did try to blame USS Toledo for the loss.
