===== The investigation into the sinking of TNN Dorsevic (1915-1916) =====
The government, families, and many others involved wanted answers to the crash. The navy formed the '''Dorsevic Sinking Investigation Board (DSIB)''' in September of 1915 to examine the events following up to the crash. Herald Stephenson, whom was the first person to see the '''SNN Bandit''' testified in front of Parliament, the DSIB, the press, and other state officials on his accounts. He recalled the Bandit loitering in place with its painted #3 facing the Dorsevic and how the captain denied the threat from the ship knowing it would be very stupid for the Skavarians to make a physical attack on just a simple cargo ship. Stephenson recalled seeing the sub sink under the surface moments before the following explosion suggesting that the SSN Bandit could've perpetrated the attack. The news of a Skavarian attack on Tuvaria made headlines nationwide and soon reached the other states as well. At first, the Skavarian government denied any involvement with the possible attack and sinking and said that they had investigated the situation and found "No viable leads". This was led with suspicion from DSIB who had the two surviving coal scoops testify in front of Parliament for what happened leading up to the explosion. The first scoop, Niko Razic, was stationed at Boiler 1. During his testimony, he recalled there being no signs of boiler damage or anything out of the ordinary that could've caused the boiler to explode and said that the explosion blasted through the hull from the outside meaning the Boiler couldn't be the source of the issue and had to be an outside attack.

The Skavarian Naval Board finally caved in in 1916 and admitted that there was an order to fire on the ship if it is antagonizing the crew. However, the ship wasn't antagonizing which means the crew of SNN Bandit were liable for the deaths of 102 sailors. The crew were accounted for and sent to Tuvaria to go on trial from which they were found guilty of multiple counts of murder and attacks on naval vessels and the crew would spend the rest of their lives in prison. Many including Dorsevic crew family members and sinking survivors called for military retaliation on Skavari for vengeance for lost loved ones, but the threat of another war was not to be messed with and both sides sadly stayed neutral. The family members and survivors of TNN Dorsevic were paid 80,000 Tuvanats (236,435 Almodats today) for the losses and a memorial was built in 1917 in the city of Kunovec.
