[PSUBS-MAILIST] UC3 Nautilus

Sun Aug 13 12:16:24 EDT 2017

Hi Jon, is still a little to early - but this statement below concerns me a lot and looks not so good: 
----
Kristian Isbak, who had responded to the navy’s call to help locate the ship, sailed out immediately Friday and saw Madsen standing wearing his trademark military fatigues in the submarine’s tower while it was still afloat.

“He then climbed down inside the submarine and there was then some kind of air flow coming up and the submarine started to sink,” Isbak said. “[He] came up again and stayed in the tower until water came into it”, before swimming to a nearby boat as the submarine sank, he added.
----

If this was just a stunt it will cost hunderthousands for the raising of the wreck, the investigation , the search mission with ships and helicopters etc.etc.  I think we can rule this out. 

I think in the next days we will learn if the ballasttanks valves were open or close and working or not.

Latest news from copenhagen is that no body found on submarine.   It was raised and forensic investigation performed.  Newspaper claims officials have determined Madsen intentionally sunk the vessel.  I'm not sure how they could determine intent forensically without admission, might just be speculation. 

No body in the sub, but reporter still missing.  World attention...I have to ask...is it possible this is a publicity Stunt?  I have read Peter seems to be having a difficult time managing his rocket projects and his latest crowd-funding attempt to refurbish Nautilus was not very successful.  I suspect he's got worldwide attention for his projects now.

 Not
 looking good; He took the reporter out, & didn't
 return, so search &rescue was contacted.
 His sub sunk after he was identified by a light
 house&
 radio contact was made. He says he dropped her off on an
 Island in otherreports.
 The
 Nautilus set out from Refshale Island, a former shipyard
 redeveloped as an entertainment and activity spot, at about
 7 p.m. local time on Thursday, according to a police
 timeline.
 Two
 helicopters and three ships combed the sea from Copenhagen
 to the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm after police received
 the report it had not gotten back to land just after 3:30
 a.m. It was spotted by a lighthouse in Koge Bay, a seaport
 south of the city, at 10:30 a.m."A
 radio contact was established for the boat, which, according
 to the owner, was heading towards the harbor," the
 police statement said. Half an hour later "the
 submarine suddenly sank and the owner was subsequently
 rescued on a private motorboat sailing him in
 port."Madsen
 "told us he had technical problems" when asked to
 explain why the submarine failed to respond to radio contact
 earlier in the day, Damgaard said.

 Getting
 crazier by the minute. I read the boat is in only 7m, which
 makes no sense if someone was trying to sink it to hide
 evidence. I hope they get inside to resolve this
 fast.

 So, I've got to ask about this incident
 because some news reports are saying that a woman died on
 the sub.  Does anybody know the true story about what
 happened?

 Thanks,

 I am real sorry to hear that!  I presume a recovery
 plan is in the works?  How deep is it sitting?

 I can't imagine how disheartening that
 must be. Particularly with a boat of that magnitude. Peter,
 I'm just glad you and your companion are safe.

 Best,
