Argentinian submarine probably gone

Post by TUPF »

In the last few days my concerns have been increasing about my brethren (and one woman) of the ‘phin, but the latest news sounds like all hope is lost. The weather in the search area has been terrible; storming 10’-30’ seas. I had hoped that free ascents had been possible if indeeed San Juan had gone down in 230’ of water. Now with reports that an explosion was recorded where she went missing probably seals it. From my training, probably a battery well explosion—diesel boats carry a massive battery which fills the bottom third of the boat, and offgassing in a closed environment becomes a ticking bomb.

Rest your oars, shipmates, we have the watch now.
