Sweden looks for 2nd sub.
NZPA Stockholm A second submerged foreign submarine crept toward the bay where a suspected Soviet-bloc submarine is trapped, prompting the frustrated Swedish Navy to dump more depth charges to stop the new intruder from aiding the trapped vessel, a newspaper reported yesterday. The military placed a news blackout on the weekold, drama in Hors Bay. the site of the secret Muskoe Naval Base, saying it did not want to provide any useful information to the foreign power that sent the intruders. • Defence Staff officials still have not identified that country. N.A.T.O. has denied sending submarines to the area, about 30km south of Stockholm. Most observers believe the submarine, or submarines, are from the Soviet bloc.
Forty warships and 10 helicopters have dropped depth charges into the bay and probed the frigid waters with listening devices since last Friday in attempts to force the first intruder to surface and surrender.
