Argentinian submarine search intensifies as oxygen supply runs low | Droolin Dog dot Net

Missing naval vessel ARA San Juan has one day's worth of oxygen reserves left after six days without contact A massive search and rescue operation has begun to find the Argentinian navy submarine ARA San Juan before oxygen supplies run out. The submarine, which went missing six days ago in the South Atlantic, has only one day's worth of oxygen reserves left. If it is found, a submarine rescue chamber (SCR) will be lowered to couple with the vessel's hatch and bring the crew up to the surface six members at a time. US rescue equipment and personnel left the Argentinian port of Comodoro Rivadavia on Tuesday heading for the last known location of the San Juan. The SCR and other equipment left aboard the Skandi Patagonia, an oil exploration vessel hired by the US Navy for the rescue mission, heading for the spot 432km (268 miles) east of the Argentinian coast from where the submarine made its last transmission. If the vessel is found, the SCR will be lowered down a cable to try to couple up for the rescue. .@AirMobilityCmd aircraft, two #C17s and a #C5, deliver @USNavy undersea rescue capabilities to Argentina.https://t.co/eNhqH3wDOK pic.twitter.com/7sFKzTL3lC Continue reading… Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/21/argentinian-submarine-search-intensifies-as-oxygen-supply-runs-low Tags: #news, #NewsDog, #TopNews, World News | #WorldNews, #LatestNews, News
