Southern Argentina's Patagonia coast is notorious for strong storms.

I may be wrong, CNN, but don't submarines travel UNDER the water?

Diesel boats spend most of their time at sea on the surface.

I was scanning down to find the first person that caught that. I was going to say they should have stricken the sails before the storm hit and made sure the screen doors were battened down.

Yes, you are wrong. Diesel electric subs only run under water when they want to or have to be more stealthy. Their batteries can only be charged when they are on the surface running on diesel power.

Score one for CNN - damn it!

You are not wring but your implication is misguided.
