Something new on sound is The UK Guardian, Thurs 23 Nov reports https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/22/search-for-missing-argentinian-submarine-enters-critical-phase :<br />"Meanwhile, reports of a strange noise detected by US sensors on 15 November in the area where the submarine was traveling at the time of [San Juan's] disappearance generated speculation that the San Juan may have suffered an explosion shortly after it last made radio contact."<br /><br />The UK Guardian, Thurs 23 Nov further reports https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/22/search-for-missing-argentinian-submarine-enters-critical-phase : <br />the relatives' mounting negative reaction aginst the Argentine Navy and Government.<br />eg. Argentine "navy chiefs said that military protocol advise[d] a 48-hour waiting period before beginning search efforts for [San Juan]..."<br /><br />“I feel like I’m at a wake, that’s how I feel,” said a tearful [relative] Alfaro. “I also feel time passing and time is crucial. I’m deeply pained by the decisions taken. Why so much protocol? Is protocol going to bring them back?”<br /><br />"...[Argentine President] Macri is reportedly angry with his navy commanders because of their handling of the crisis. According to the Infobae website, Macri’s defence minister, Oscar Aguad, only learned the submarine was missing when he read about it in the press, after the navy announced last Saturday that it had lost contact with the San Juan on 15 November..."<br /><br />"Also being called into question is the wisdom of having deployed a 34-year-old submarine to make the 10-day journey from the Argentinian port of Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, to the naval base in Mar del Plata."<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-61215646229465649702017-11-23T02:37:46.421+11:002017-11-23T02:37:46.421+11:00Possible detection of the sub - thermal bloom and ...Possible detection of the sub - thermal bloom and infrasound detection.<br /><br />http://www.dailymail...cated-Navy.html<br /><br />Side note - the article claims the USN has detected a large metal object thermally at 230 feet/70 meters depth. That would be impressive if true (I'll look and see any other news org confirms this story). I mean, unless there was a fire on board and the hull is still steaming from it, that seems like a pretty impressive detection. I'd thought IR detection was strictly limited to snorts for D/E type subs; they don't dump warm cooling water into the local environment like a nuke (some heat is transferred through the hull).<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JoshJoshnoreply@blogger.com
