I am sure we have the entire event on tape. Probably from fixed aquaphones as well as monitored from submerged and surface fleet. Submarines make a much different sound when it is an over depth implosion vs a detonation, as in torpedo.
I would be willing to bet, were the subject vessel torpedoed, the American Navy can identify the torpedo by type and country of origin by sonar characteristics of running and detonation.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

From what I heard, it was a 44 year old boat nearly 10 years past its last refit making a planed deep dive at or near its specified depth limit of 500 meters.

Not really a problem as they still make them.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I remember that he specifically said it was in MT... I'm thinking it was so small that it wasn't even an incorporated town/village etc.. We have a few of those around here too - named, but not noted on local maps..

Indonesia is 88% Muslim. I’m guessing some radicalized Islamist decided to perform a one man jihad and sink his own ship in some sort of perverted message to his fellow goat humpers.

Why is a woman unlike a submarine? I don’t know, I’ve never gone down on a submarine

There have been a good number of submarines that are at the bottom of the ocean due to their own torpedoes. USS Tang (not in the tube, but it circled around and destroyed the launching submarine), USS Scorpion (I think it was a hot run torpedo), The Russian sub Kursk. I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
Regarding the USS Tang, there's a GREAT book about that submarine.

When Flight 370 disappeared, the Malysian government hired this witch doctor to try to find the airplane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQXdGXjUx4MThe whole while they chanted "Allah Akhbar." Like I said on the Afghanistan thread, somehow, they are stuck in the 8th century. Maybe Indonesia can hire this same witch doctor I hear he is looking for work.

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.
