RSN Patrol Vessel Hit (Alleged?) Submarine?

The sea is a big place.

But it got smaller when one of the Republic of Singapore Navy's patrol vessels hit an unidentified object near the waters of Pedra Branca that damaged its hull.

Now what could that object be?

Humpback whale?
Titanic sea wreck shifted into our parts of the sea by tectonic action?
Mutant sea dudong?
Neighbouring country's submarine?
Our own submarine?

You decide because Mindef's not saying what the unidentified underwater object is.
