Complete Headline: Missing Argentine submarine 'is located by US Navy and a new sonar signal heard' as rescuers race to the spot with oxygen due to run out imminently
- Search for missing Argentine submarine intensifies as the crew said to run out of oxygen today
- US Navy aircraft reportedly detected a 'heat stain from a metallic object' at a depth of about 230ft
- Separately, a rescue vessel allegedly reported hearing an infrasound sonar signal late Tuesday night
- Sub with 44 crew went missing last Wednesday while sailing from Ushuaia to naval base in Mar del Plata
- They sailed on Monday, communication was lost on Wednesday, and search is now involving several nations
- An Argentine Navy spokesman warned yesterday that the crew only have oxygen until Wednesday morning
The missing Argentine submarine may have been located early this morning, after a US Navy aircraft allegedly detected a 'heat stain' from 230ft below the surface, some 185miles from the coast, and a rescue vessel separately reported hearing a sonar signal.
The ARA San Juan was sailing from Ushuaia to Mar del Plata when it disappeared with 44 crew members last Wednesday, including Argentina's first female submariner Eliana Krawczyk, 35, and Luis Niz, 25, who is due to get married in two weeks time.
The crew's oxygen supply was due to run out this morning as they only had enough on board to last seven days - leaving the international rescue mission racing against time to the spot where the signals were detected.

There will probably be false positives, due to the number of ferrous vessels that must be on the bottom by now, including some U-boats..

Check Google Earth. The Continental Shelf is hundreds of miles wide in places. It runs out past the Falkland's.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware the continental shelf was that shallow. I think at this point it’s too late for those folks on the sub.

“Zere is nussing wrong wit ze German engineerink!”
That is true in a vary large number of cases.
But not even the best German engineering will forever defeat 30-plus years of use by a Third World country. Unsupervised use.
