Thread: Search continues for missing Argentine submarine with 44 crew members

Missing Argentine submarine found deep in Atlantic, one year after disappearance


The vessel was detected 800 metres deep in waters off the Valdes Peninsula.

Argentina's navy says searchers deep in the Atlantic have found the missing submarine ARA San Juan, which disappeared with 44 crewmen aboard almost a year ago to the date.

Key points:

• The navy said a "positive identification" had been made by a search ship
• The discovery was made two days after the one year anniversary of the disappearance
• Argentina gave up hope of finding survivors after an intense search last year

The vessel was detected 800 metres deep in waters off the Valdes Peninsula in Argentine Patagonia, the navy statement said.

The navy said a "positive identification" had been made by a remote-operated submersible from the American ship Ocean Infinity, which was hired for the latest search for the missing vessel.
