Truthfully, the head of the Navy should immediately order all other submarines to port, and that they then get inspected from top to bottom. Firing him is a waste unless he refuses to do this.
In the months before the Soviet Union collapsed, they lost four submarines in two months to what is believed to have been the same defective part. The US regularly grounds all of its aircraft of a given type when it loses one for unknown reasons.
But their naval commander is likely not only blameless in this, but the one person best suited to quickly locate and correct the problem.
I agree and the ones that should lose their jobs are the politicians who probably underfunded the mere maintenance of the fleet let alone ever upgrading it
“Truthfully, the head of the Navy should immediately order all other submarines to port”
the sub that sank was the only operational one. Argentina has only one other sub, but it’s not operational.
Truth be told, a 3rd world country like Argentina has no business trying to operate submarines in the first place.
