Signals have been detected that are thought to have come from an Argentine submarine that went missing with 44 crew on board, officials say.<\/p>\n

The defence ministry is now trying to trace the location of the seven failed satellite calls received on Saturday.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The ARA San Juan<\/em> was returning from a routine mission to Ushuaia, near the southern-most tip of South America, to its base at Mar del Plata, south of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

Its last contact with the navy command was on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

An Argentine destroyer and two corvettes are conducting a search around the area of the sub’s last known position off the south-eastern Valdez peninsula.<\/p>\n

But so far there are no clues about its whereabouts.<\/p>\n

It is thought that the submarine may have had communication difficulties caused by a power cut.<\/p>\n

Navy protocol dictates that a vessel should come to the surface if communication has been lost.<\/p>\n

Update, 19 November, 2018<\/strong>: The New York Daily News<\/em><\/a> reports that the remains of the ARA San Juan<\/em> have definitely been located about 700 miles east of Puerto Madryn at a depth of over 2800 feet.<\/p>\n

An Argentine submarine that vanished with 44 crew members aboard was found at the bottom of the South Atlantic Ocean a year and a day after it disappeared, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The wreckage of the ARA San Juan<\/em> was located 2,850 feet deep, and about 700 miles east of the city of Puerto Madryn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears to be complete, but it obviously imploded,\u201d Argentine naval Capt. Gabriel Attis told reporters, CNN reported, adding the sub\u2019s hull was \u201ctotally deformed, collapsed and imploded.\u201d<\/p>\n

The [220]-foot vessel vanished off the coast of Argentina on Nov. 15, 2017, as it traveled back to its base in the coastal city of Mar Del Plata.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
