This Rolex could have withstood that depth but of course watches ain't full size submarines.

Captain: “Did you close and lock the door?”
First Officer: “Ah. . .no. I thought you did.”
Captain: “Oops. . .”

(Too soon?)

A 40 year old diesel powered German built submarine. Hmmm.

Sunk in 600-700 meters of water with a 200 meter crush depth. The math isn’t that hard. A rescue mission went out the door the minute they lost contact. I give FULL respect to anyone who serves (or served) aboard a sub. Takes huge brass ones to do that when on long patrols, knowing one problem could doom everything.

I’ll bet China is behind the sinking of that sub.

What in the world does Indonesia need with a submarine?

I read the article on Foxnews. One of the comments from screen name dEMSrDIRTY:

“Biden has issued a statement today...”We mourn the loss of the Beatles, and their yellow submarine. Paul was my favorite”

And I can trace my history
Down one generation to my home
In one of our submarines

(One of the best songs of the 80s IMHO)
