Vessel involved in this incident recently went through major overhaul which included rebuilding of diesel engines, replacement of batteries, replacement of periscopes etc.

There's hope that a phone company received attempted calls to marine bases via sat phone, but still unconfirmed. They're trying to determine the exact location of the calls.

3 days without contact on a modern warship?
Even a country like Argentina has access to modern communications gear and ANY warship is going to have multiple ways to 'call home' let alone contact SOMEONE who can relay a message. How do they KNOW that a 4 second message was from them? It could have been atmospheric noise. They are grasping at straws in an attempt to save face. This is not a rescue, it is a recovery operation now. |

Argentina says it may have received signals from missing sub
Distress calls received...? https://news.google.com/news/video/U...Uwt_k77M?hl=en News is all over the place on this.

It's too bad this guy isn't still around as Swede would be their only hope. Our navy can't steer a ship without running into something nowadays. I don't give it much chance at deep sea rescue. Too many politically correct, or incorrect decisions, and too much social engineering to do first before they ever got around to mounting a rescue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Momsen
A real man's man, and leader that guy! Not afraid to get his hands dirty, naval officers take note.

I just realised I have no clue on how long a Diesel boat of this kind can stay submerged without the crew running out of oxygene if Diesels are not running...? This is no 212.

I'm curious, assuming the USN have an SSN somewhere nearby, would they be tasked to assist with the search or is that more on whatever other assets the Argentinians/other nations can mobilize?
Really hope the boat and crew is found soon. |

SSN can go below the termal layer and good options detecting the Argentinian submarine. I´m not sure if the active sonar is useful or can detect submarines on the sea floor.

Their electric did break probably, so implies the news so far, maybe they even had a battery or cable fire, which is worst case, or in toxication of the atmosphere from the betteries, and I take it that the sub sits still on the ground. Who knows how long it was submerged already when the problems showed up. I think you do not snorkel from 70m, or do you? I fear they are already gone. Its the scenario with the highest probability. Hope I am wrong, though.
