Submarine ARA Salta Surfaces in Youth Sailing Regatta
The Argentines are in an uproar after one of their subs surfaced into the middle of a kids regatta in the Mar de Plata. Nobody is quite sure why the 40 years old Argentine Navy submarine S-31 ARA Salta suddenly decided to surface without checking to see what was above, but panic ensued as the kid's sailboats had to tack to safety. The organizers of the 49th Semana Internacional del Yachting said that although nobody was hurt, the submarine ripped away several buoys meaning the event had to be cancelled. An initial report by the Argentine Navy claiming the submarine had simply sailed into the zone was rubbished by the organizers, who had footage of it suddenly surfacing.
