One ping only, please.

I hope the crew is safe, but the odds are against them.

I am praying for a positive outcome. I couldn't imagine a worse way to go.

She's german made. Launched in 1985 it says on her wiki.
With all the economic crisis we've been through and the previous government that hated anything and everyone armed or security forces related, it ks hard to believe she was kept in even decent shañe or seaworthy.

That's mighty big of the UK to offer to help, putting history behind them.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

While I hope the crew is safe, if you consider the economics in South America, let’s hope someone didn’t find a cartel in need of an late model armed submarine.

As a former sailor in the silent service these things always sadden me immensely. Here’s hoping this turns out ok.

They were last heard from on Wednesday and lost contact because of a fire?

Even "routine" is dangerous in the service.

Run silent, run deep, my thoughts and prayers are with you brothers.


The Submariner's Prayer

Almighty, Everlasting God, the Protector of all those
who put their trust in Thee: hear our prayers in behalf
of Thy servants who sail their vessels beneath the seas.

We beseech Thee to keep in Thy sustaining care all
who are in submarines, that they may be delivered
from the hidden dangers of the deep.

Grant them courage, and a devotion to fulfill their duties,
that they may better serve Thee and their native land.

Though acquainted with the depths of the ocean,
deliver them from the depths of despair and the
dark hours of the absence of friendliness and grant
them a good ship's spirit.

Bless all their kindred and loved ones from whom they are separated.

When they surface their ships, may they praise Thee for
Thou art there as well as in the deep.

Fill them with Thy Spirit that they may be sure in their reckonings,
unwavering in duty, high in purpose, and upholding the honor
of their nation.

Amen
