He implored the Navy not to end its search and said he was counting on updates from his son’s naval colleagues. “I simply said, Be careful,” Sunaryo said. He last met with his parents on March 29, when Gunadi said farewell before embarking on another sailing. Gunadi, who holds the rank of ordinary seaman, joined the Navy seven years ago and was later assigned to the submarine. Gunadi’s wife plans to return to her hometown in Central Java because she wants to give birth in her parents’ house, he said.

The items were found about two miles from the spot where the submarine started to dive before it went missing, Yudo said, and included a bottle of grease, part of a torpedo launcher, part of a metal tube, prayer mats and fuel. Six pieces of debris believed to be from the submarine were presented to journalists at the news conference.
