Woods Hole Research Vessel Searching Atlantic for Lost Argentine Sub
The international effort searching for ARA San Juan – the Argentine submarine missing for more than three weeks – is focused on a region where the continental shelf below the sea surface rapidly slopes down to the deep South Atlantic.
A trio of internationally-run remotely operated undersea vehicles – including one from the United States – are regularly being sent to the sea floor to investigate possible final resting locations of the submarine, according to a statement released by the Argentine Navy.
Along with teams from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Russia, and Chile are continuing to assist the Argentine Armada in the search for San Juan.
