[QUOTE]The U.S. military had been observing the submarine operate off North Korea's east coast when the vessel stopped, and U.S. spy satellites, aircraft and ships have been secretly watching for days as the North Korean navy searched for the missing sub.
The U.S. is unsure if the missing vessel is adrift under the sea or whether it has sunk, the officials said, but believes it suffered some type of failure during an exercise.[/QUOTE]

There's always a bigger fish.
they're on poseidon's turf now
they play by his rules
N.K is so unlucky, that when it fires rockets at the sea, aka at no one, something actually does get mad and inflicts damage upon them!
What if it was Cthulhu
wouldnt be surprised if they shot their own submarine with all those tests
Can only hope more ships go missing. And fat boy goes red that hes 3rd world seamonkeys are all missing
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;49916152]Imagine being trapped on a submarine, underwater, in the dark, without power and with a limited supply of air and resources until help arrives or you die.[/QUOTE]
And now imagine that this wasn't the first sub to go kaput and turn into a sardine can of a sarcophagus. Imagine fearing that this would happen when you found yourself in the Navy. Imagine hearing rumours of other rickety subs being lost to the sea, their crew with them.
No matter how much you sail the seven seas, it certainly wouldn't put your mind at ease.

Completely wrong side of the earth and hemisphere.
We should offer to find it

We have sent them a shitload of aid. It's complicated.

[URL="http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19951207&slug=2156455"]It happened to some sailors at Pearl Harbor[/URL] (though a ship not a sub)
[quote]When salvage crews raised the West Virginia six months later, they found the bodies of three men huddled in an airtight storeroom: Ronald Endicott, 18; Clifford Olds, 20; and Louis "Buddy" Costin, 21.
But the most haunting discovery was the calendar.
Sixteen days had been crossed off in red pencil. The young sailors had marked their time, not knowing what had happened to their ship or that their country was at war.[/quote]

Well depending on the depth of the water where they sunk they might have been crushed to death instantly by the rapid change in water pressure.
Food for thought.
About the USS Thresher:
[quote]
As they sank, the men aboard would have heard piping and fittings giving way. They would have listened as the ship’s hull creaked and groaned, until it finally, deafeningly gave way to massive water pressure. All lives were likely extinguished within a matter of seconds.[/quote]

This thread got dark fast. I wonder what would happen if we found the sub, rescued the sailors and turned them over to South Korea.
You also got to consider what kind of sub it is. If it's a diesel sub it has to surface to recharge its batteries, so if they did manage to sink to the bottom without being crushed, they only got a very limited amount of time and breathable air.

We have a ceasefire but no peace treaty. But I think if both parties were not in combat against one another at the time, then just out of respect for humanity you should offer to help. Even if the offer is most likely to be rejected.

I'm sure we've already offered. This is North Korea we're talking about, I doubt they'd accept any of our help. Let us not forget[URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_submarine_Kursk_(K-141)"] the Kursk disaster [/URL]where the US, UK and Norway offered Russia assistance which they refused for a week, ultimately killing the 23 suvivors who survived the explosion.
It is likely North Korea will display similar Hubris if we haven't already offered.
Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, the submarine was actually an unmanned hollow plastic bladder set adrift to pull attention from North Korea's secret tuna-based navy.

Yeah I agree, I too hope that people who've been brainwashed die awful and needless deaths just because a dictator ordered them to.

What if the map was upside down?
I'd make a joke but honestly this can only make things worse. The idea that even the U.S. is concerned for a NK sub going missing is weird but understandable considering NK might try to spin it into more pissing contests and aggression than before.
I just hope it's really missing and not actually just reported missing while it's on the way to like the arctic or somewhere with a nuclear missile onboard.

Note the "Americans watching it" thing, they know exactly where it is but the NK guys dont.
The Elder Ones have awakened.
