I’ve been hearing too many theories with not enough personal knowledge to judge.


Underfunded Argentine navy.
Undertrained crew
Deferred repairs
A recent overhaul that involved cutting the boat in half.

The last message was about battery problems. They should have limped home on the surface. But thta’s a serious hit to any sub captain’s ego.




When I was little I saw a documentary about Momsen and sub disasters. Gave me nightmares.
