At least 40 bodies and wreckage including a plane door and oxygen tanks have been recovered in the search for missing AirAsia Flight QZ8501.
The bodies - which were not wearing life jackets - have been brought on board a navy ship, said Indonesia's search and rescue director SB Supriyadi.
Local television showed pictures of the bodies floating in the sea.
"The warship Bung Tomo has retrieved 40 bodies and the number is growing. They are very busy now," said a navy spokesman.
They were found in the Java Sea southwest of Borneo, about six miles (10km) from where the plane last communicated with air traffic control.
Search chief SB Supriyadi also said the air force had "found an object described as a shadow at the bottom of the sea in the form of a plane".
An expert from the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch is heading to the area with equipment to help detect the signal from the plane's black box.
Objects spotted earlier have also been confirmed as wreckage from the plane and some have been taken away for testing.
AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes tweeted that his "heart is filled with sadness" and rushed to Surabaya airport to meet distraught relatives.
"It's an experience I never dreamt of happening and it's probably an airline CEO's worst nightmare," said Mr Fernandes.
"The passengers were on my aircraft and I have to take responsibility for that,"
The Airbus A320-200 disappeared from radar on Sunday morning on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia's second-biggest city, to Singapore.
