An Italian submarine officer is
helping the search for the Argentinian submarine that went
missing off Patagonia last week, ANSA has learned.
Navy Chief of Staffs submarine department Captain Decio
Trinca told ANSA the officer is a frigate captain who "has a key
role" in the International Submarine Escape and Rescue Liaison
Office, ISMERLO, based at Northwood in the UK.
Trinca said that thanks to ISMERLO "all nations equipped with
a submarine component, including Italy, have deployed the
necessary action to seek the San Juan".
If necessary, he said, an Italian team of specialists is
ready to leave for the area.
