I hope the Royal Navy find it first, then that will keep them quiet for a while.

Re: missing sub
Latest bit on news a USA ship caught up with some sonar but it is sadly not from this sub.
They have enough oxygen for just two weeks and if they fail to surface soon it may be too late for them.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: missing sub
The radio announcer today was saying but it'd left the south of Argentina heading to the north of Argentina but had a mission along the route I just wonder how close to the Falklands islands that submarine went

Re: missing sub
Apparently, some Argentinian politicians brand the Royal Navy PIRATES for trying to help find missing submarine.
Britain's HMS Protector has been scouring the South Atlantic to find missing sub.
Again apparently, Argentine opposition leader wrote: 'F*** you! You are responsible for war crimes'
The Falkland Islands Twitter account replied to the comment writing: 'The Royal Navy are out searching for missing Argentine sailors and this is what you tweet? What an a**hole.'*
Submarine last made contact on Wednesday - 250 miles off coast of Patagonia
Massive search effort underway as high winds and waves lash the South Atlantic
Sub was travelling from naval base at Ushuaia to another south of Buenos Aires
