ARGENTINA:PAEDIA
EXPRESS BOARD APPROVES INQUEST ON SUNKEN SUBMARINE
The
Editorial and Policy Board of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of
Lagos,Nigeria has formally approved and launched an official inquest into a
submarine believed to be owned and operated by the Argentine Navy:San Juan
Submarine.
The deep
sea underground machine which went
missing sometimes last year ,saw a lot of efforts put into the search by the
Latin American nation and even there neighbors but with no success recorded.
Argentina
is once known to have had a bitter altercation with the United Kingdom in the
early 80s during the period of Mrs Margaret
Thatcher 's tenure as British Prime MInister over a disputed spot called the
Falkland Islands.
It is not
now known if the issue was ever truly resolved amicably but some sort of
ceasefire was reached at the time by the two warring gladiators.
So much so
that when football demigod ,Diego Amando Maradona used his Hand -of-God to
write his names permanently in the folklores of global history books via
football this incident became a good
ground for the Argentine leadership to brag over the United Kingdom in the
political and sporting terrain after being given a bloody nose on the battle
field by the British Naval fleet.
Once upon a
time ,in a 1986 Quarter Final World Cup
Soccer game between Argentina and England,deep into the game an aerial somehow
led to a contest between Maradona and Terry Butcher with Goalkeeper Peter
Shilton rushing out to help his nation and prevent danger but the unthinkable happened.
Maradone
somehow used his hands in the full glare of a watching worldwide audience to
bundle home the ball en route to a goal ,till this day this iconic moment
remains a big talking point as some even say it was this embarrassing incident
that led to an improvement in football technology via what is now called Video
Assisted Referee.
Meanwhile a
submarine is a naval vessel capable of operating under water for sustained
periods of time according to an encyclopaedic source.
Submarine
submerges by flooding by flooding its waters ballast tanks to attain a natural buoyancy
and then diving by forward motion coupled with the use of small diving planes, somewhat
like rotating wings.
Most
submarines have a stern diving planes and a second pair installed on their sail
structure or at the bow.
To surface the submarine uses the diving planes and
forward motion supplemented by the expulsion of water from the ballast tanks
with compressed air.
It has
other features like Sensors,periscopes,radars amongst other features..
The Primary
weapons of a submarine is a torpedo ,a self propelled under water missile that
is launched from its travels through the water and explodes when it hits
another vessel.
