One year after the submarine ARA San Juan disappeared on a routine mission, with 44 aboard, the wreckage of the missing submarine has been located in 2,600 feet of water in the Atlantic. The submarine was located by Ocean Infinity, a US company.
Contact was lost with the submarine on November 15, 2017. The submarine had reported an electrical short following a leak in the vessel’s snorkel. Eight days later, the the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organisation said that it had detected a possible explosion a few hours after the sub’s last contact.

RIP
Implosion surely?
In other news channels it has been revealed that the Columbians felt it was ok to let the sub run on antiquated batteries
Submarines and helicopters: one swims while the other flies, both are alike in their completely unforgiving nature.

I’m afraid that I don’t agree with recovering the remains so that the lost sailors can then be buried ashore. What is the point?
A very costly exercise from which little can be gained.
Have a memorial service over the site of the wreck… job done.

When a US sub sirfaced and sunk a ferry or boat full of Japanese, the Navy brought up that ship.
