Argentina's Navy could not confirm Sunday if seven brief satellite calls received a day prior were from a lost submarine with 44 crew members onboard.
... Navy has intensified its aerial search off the country's southern Atlantic coast after adverse weather conditions spurred waves up to 26 feet and made a maritime search difficult.
... Enrique Balbi said the low-frequency satellite signals received Saturday lasted a "few seconds," but had not connected with a base, partly due to inclement weather. The communication attempts were originally thought to indicate that the crew was trying to re-establish contact.
On Sunday, search units were largely relying on information gathered from a British polar exploration vessel, the HMS Protector, which was equipped with an underwater search probe and was following the path taken by the submarine, the ARA San Juan.
...U.S. Navy's Undersea Rescue Command had been deployed to the search area, along with aircraft from Argentina, Brazil and the U.S. and 11 surface vessels.
Among the 44 crew members is Eliana Krawczyk, the first female submarine officer in Argentina.

The Argentine Air Force is grounded, their Navy is sunk. They are paying the price for their aggression against the Falklands. A once prosperous country now wallowing in poverty and state socialism. President Macri was supposed to moderate the “Pink Tide,” but has largely failed.
I am happy to see our Navy and Airforce down there helping. The Argentine people are very thankful on Twitter for our help. See @southcomwatch for news from our US Southern Command.
The Twilight Zone had some very good writers.
...well 'almost' on that last one. :)
Thanks! Audio is correct. Not speeded up like the other I found on YT. That one was also a small screen insert. The ones that were earlier linked to, from DailyMotion, were normal/full sized screen, with normal/correct audio.
