The Argentine fleet does not lose hope that the crew of the submarine missing for 11 days may still be alive, the agencies say.

The search for the Argentine military submarine lost in the South Atlantic continued for a week and reached a "critical phase". The reason is that the 44-member crew on board may already experience oxygen deficiency, said Enrique Balbi, a spokeswoman for the US Navy, quoted by the agencies.

A US military aircraft involved in the search for the missing Argentinean submarine found a heat-emitting object at the bottom of the ocean.

A metal object at a depth of 70 meters and 300 kilometers from the shores of the Argentine province of Chubut was detected, according to local media.

Rescue ships and planes were directed to the site.

The missing Argentine submarine may have been located early this morning, after a US Navy aircraft allegedly detected a ‘heat stain’ from 230ft below the surface, some 185miles from the coast, and rescue vessel reported hearing a sonar signal.

The search for the missing Argentine submarine continues. The seven satellite signals that are probably emitted by the San Juan submarine have not helped establish where it is.

The communication connection of the submarine with a 44-member crew was lost on Wednesday when the submarine was about 430km east of the Argentine coast.
