Missing Argentine sub found a year later

BUENOS AIRES • The Argentine Navy submarine that went missing a year ago off the country's Atlantic Coast was found by a private company involved in what had been a massive search for the vessel and its 44-member crew, the navy said yesterday.

The submarine ARA San Juan had a seven-day supply of air when it last reported its position on Nov 15 last year. It was found some 800m below the ocean's surface by the marine tracking contractor Ocean Infinity.
