I don't think Indonesia would have a nuke submarine, and I doubt Germany has ever built any nukes, either. Germany builds great diesel subs, though, and sells them to just about anyone.

Don't you have to be under 5'7" tall to be on a submarine? My brother is close to 6’4 and serve on a boomer and attack

Malaysia lost Flight 370.
Indonesia lost the submarine.
Are these what Trump called "s***hole countries?" I wouldn’t call them that.

Don't you have to be under 5'7" tall to be on a submarine?  Yeah, they told us in sub school that there was a height maximum... Total BS - one of the enginemen was at least 6'3"+. Hell, I was only about 5' 9" at the time and it STILL took me a couple weeks to remember where/when to duck my head.. Personally, I loved being on subs - but I was also on board one when the Scorpion was lost... Lotta quiet crewmembers on our boat that week..

Once you lost control and hit a certain depth and it started to implode, I'd be wishing for a sidearm to end it quickly rather than what would happen next.
PS my grandpa was 6'5" on the Sea Fox in WWII.

You could not pay me enough money to be a submariner. Deep diving is more fun and not as dangerous.

You could not pay me enough money to be a submariner. Same. No F'n way. My wife and I toured the WW II Jap submarine in San Diego when we were there. All I can say is the Japanese must have been REALLY REALLY small back then. I couldn't get out of it fast enough. The claustrophobia was kicking in pretty good.

Don't you have to be under 5'7" tall to be on a submarine? No- my nephew served on the Nuke Puffer (I think). He is 6'3" or more and slept curled up in the bunk.... It only accomidated to 6' I believe. He told me at one time that the maximum height for Nukes was 6'. He qualified at 18 by a fraction of an inch, under. After he was in Nuke school he had a growth spurt, but it was too late. They kept him, much to his dismay.

Still...RIP. That would be on my list of “how not to die”. It was likely quick and without much pain. China may be practicing for the future. Their future of ruling the world.
