Missing Submarine

[Balifrog]

I don't think I implied dishonour (whatever that may be)
Merely logic.

Aren't torpedoes missiles, much as bullets are missiles? & This Sub carries what is likely to be at least 1 million dollars worth- looking at its specs it can fire 4 at a time either Exocet /Harpoon
Reports say it was loaded - so that is where I get my calculations - I believe Excocet is 200,000 USD Harpoon over 1 million EACH

Seems we are miscommunicating.

I wasn't aware at the time of my post that it was in bits over 700 m down.

My guess is that the ones who offered help weren't either, at the time of their offer.

There are no Exocet or Harpoons on subs. No missiles on subs build in the 70's

The only reason there have been big recovery operations on subs is because it were recent, modern ones, and the country who owns it doesn't want the opposite party to lay hand on it.
Last example the russian Koursk.
Another "historic" and interesting story is this one :

good to know, i was just going off good old Wikki's info:
"Nanggala underwent a refit at Howaldtswerke that was completed in 1989.[21] Roughly two decades later, the boat underwent a full refit for two years in South Korea by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) that was completed in January 2012.[22][2][a] The refit cost US$ 63.7 million,[24] replaced much of the submarine's upper structure, and upgraded its weaponry, sonar, radar, combat control and propulsion systems.[25][2] After the refit, Nanggala became capable of firing four torpedoes simultaneously at four different targets and launching anti-ship missiles such as the Exocet or the Harpoon. Its safe diving depth was increased to 257 metres (843 ft), and its top speed was increased from 21.5 knots (39.8 km/h) to 25 knots (46 km/h).[2]:

Sad to see that officials continue to spread loads of b.....cks

Retrieve it to examine it at the surface ? He doesn't know what he is talking about...
"Pristine condition..." sure, a 40 y old unit, knowing the maintenance standards in the region !
Act of God, act of nature .....My goodness
