Hi
It's correct that 2 pieces have been found. A seven meter long part of the mid-section is missing however. It has been believed that this part had been disintegrated by the torpedo that hit the boat, but some experts argue that the torpedo wasn't powerful enough to destroy a part that large, and therefore a third part must be lying on the seabed somewhere.
