THE country said it will salvage a submarine that sank off the coast of Bali, as grieving relatives paid their respects to the dozens of crew killed in the disaster.

Authorities had yet to confirm if they would try to haul up the KRI Nanggala 402 from the seafloor, after it cracked into three pieces.
