Fifteen days since an Argentinian submarine vanished, hope is fading for the 44 people on board. The Navy on Thursday (November 30) said while it will continue the hunt for the vessel, rescue teams had given up on the search for crew members as too much time had passed for them to be saved. The sub only had a seven-day oxygen supply when it lost contact off the coast of Argentina more than two weeks ago. A sudden noise was then detected which the navy says could have been the implosion of the sub. The crew had been ordered to return to a naval base in the north after reporting water had entered the vessel through its snorkel, causing a battery to short circuit. Family members have criticised the government for giving up, some saying they were not notified ahead of a televised news conference. The navy says 28 ships, 9 planes and 4000 people from 18 countries were involved in the search but still no sign of the missing sub. .
