It was a sad find. 1 year ago, a submarine from the Argentinian fleet the ARA San Juan suffered an implosion that cause to sink 2850 feet of the ocean floor. The sub was found. All 44 crew members have perished.

From CNN:

The ARA San Juan was an old diesel submarine, built in Germany in the mid-1980s but was refitted with new engines and batteries around five years before its disappearance, Peter Layton, a visiting fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute at Griffith University in Australia.

The sub was designed to have a shelf life of around 30 years, which had expired, he said. If intact after the explosion, the hull could have been expected to withstand ocean depths up to around 500 to 600 meters, he said. Below that, it would buckle under pressure.

We wondered why their commanders were not aware that the submarine was over 30 years old? It is not known how will the Navy will begin to the process to recover the remains so families can have the closure they deserve.
