Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore and the United States have sent specialized ships or aircraft in response to Indonesian requests for assistance............

..............Indonesia operates five submarines - two German-built Type 209s including Nanggala and three newer South Korean vessels.   It has been seeking to modernise its defence capabilities but some of its equipment is old and there have been fatal accidents in recent years.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56851487A military spokesman said the submarine would only have enough oxygen to last until around 03:00 local time on Saturday (21:00 GMT on Friday). That deadline has now passed.

But early on Saturday morning, a navy official, Julius Widjono, told CNN Indonesia that he was optimistic that the vessel would still be found.

"We must be optimistic. We ask for prayers from all Indonesians that 53 people will be safe," Mr Widjono said.
