Maybe not. You have to got sound recordings of the time of the incident. All subs of world class players, USA, UK, ... do that.
Where do you find the tapes? In a sub.
Where do you find the experts. Mostly working in a sub, permanently or temporarely.

Did you see the state of that sub? Poor. The punishment of the deep sea is tax free. Ask questions later. I you can.

You'd think they'd have a better system in place to know where their ships are.

translated, buy you get the picture how many screw ups took place.

The Navy insisted that communications were not emergency; Insufficient explanations to Armada affirmed yesterday that "there were not emergency calls" the communications made by the submarine ARA San Juan, in the hours prior to its disappearance. These communications, in addition, were not eight, as reported by the Tesacom company, but 13, according to the detail provided yesterday by the naval spokesman, Captain Enrique Balbi.


As indicated in the infographic that accompanies this note, Balbi confirmed that, in a period of ten and a half hours, from the moment he announced that he had a fault, the ARA San Juan made three satellite calls to the Force Command of Submarinos, based in Mar del Plata, in addition to a written situation report, a message requesting a change of direction in navigation and seven attempts to connect to the Internet to transmit data.

Added to this is a voice call made by the Submarine Force to the commander of the ARA San Juan.

Of the explanations given by the Navy, there are some dark spots, according to military sources in dialogue with LA NACION.

Meteorology


It is not clear if before sailing from Ushuaia, on Monday, November 13, the forecasts of bad weather conditions were taken into account, which the next day, at night, generated the entry of water through the ventilation system. The snorkel has two valves. It is ignored if one or both failed.

Fault

The submarine reported that the fault was corrected. Is it synonymous with repaired? If it was fixed, it is not clear why one of the battery compartments was isolated.

Speed

If the fault was corrected, it is not understood why the submarine went sailing at a speed of five knots (8 kilometers per hour), almost like the trot of a person, when the usual rhythm is 25 knots (40 kilometers per hour) .

Ports

The possibility of deriving the submarine to the port of Comodoro Rivadavia, (distant 430 kilometers) or to Puerto Madryn, deep water was not taken into account.

Communication

The submarine was scheduled to communicate once or twice a day or even every 48 hours. Between 22 on Tuesday and 8.36 on Wednesday there were 13 calls and attempts to connect to the Internet. When the Navy reported, in the first days, that there was a communication problem, it did not publicize the exchange that had taken place that night between the ARA San Juan and the Submarine Force Command.

Emergency

The Navy began the search for the submarine 36 hours after all communication was lost, which had been intense in the previous ten hours. The case was not declared in the first instance in an emergency, as it did in April 2007 when the Irizar icebreaker caught fire, forcing the evacuation of the crew. As soon as that incident occurred, the Grand Ville and Robinson corvettes, stationed in Mar del Plata, a Navy Orion plane, an Air Force Hercules, a Prefectura fighter, a Panamanian tanker and a fishing boat, quickly arrived at the emergency rescue. Uruguayan, among other ships. In the case of ARA San Juan, although a fire principle had been reported, a time was expected to act. Several specialists indicated that if an emergency had been declared, the action would have to have been immediate.

Also the newst sub in Argentina's fleet.

In 2012 they spent 19 hours total actually submerged for training.

After this maybe they should train a little more
