If the sub "imploded" at extreme deep sea pressure, it is in many pieces....It may be found when Amelia Earhart's plane is found....As Maldenaldo proved, Argentina is not good at finding things...... :oyvey

Spying on the Falklands?

Wouldn't it have been more fun for the Captain and crew to sit-off, say, Copacabana Beach in Brasil and watch (er, keep score) over the women's bikini volleyball teams? Just a thought here. Not a Naval commander, or anything, ... :popcorn: . I understand that they don't allow beach volleyball on the Falkland Islands. Is that right?

Shouldn't make fun here. The thought of dying on a sub, in the middle of the ocean, in the cold, soulless waters of the Atlantic is simply horrifying. Probably the worst way to die. One hopes that what happened to the Argentine sub was quick and painless. During World War II the number of dead German/Nazi submariners numbered in the thousands, and most died under terrifying conditions. Little different than the people they themselves killed on the Murmansk runs, US servicemen being forced to swim in the cold, cold Atlantic Ocean, as a result of the deadly U-Boot torpedo's.

I see no reason why Argentina even has a military let alone submarines? No one in their right mind would invade and their only threats come from their leaders.

Russia ends search of missing Argentina submarine
Quote:
 
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina’s navy says Russia has ended its help in the search for an Argentine submarine that disappeared in the South Atlantic with 44 crew members aboard.

Russia was the last of more than a dozen foreign countries that assisted in searching some 1,500 square miles (4,000 square kilometers) of the South Atlantic for the ARA San Juan. The multinational search for the submarine employed some of the latest technology in one of the largest efforts of its kind.

The Navy’s spokesman said Wednesday, April 4, 2018, that the Russian Federation has stopped its assistance in the hunt for the wreckage of the Argentine submarine that went missing in the South Atlantic.
