Early Saturday the navy said the vessel was detected 800 meters below waters off the Valdes Peninsula in Argentine Patagonia. The submarine has been missing for one year.
The submarine, which disappeared with 44 crewmen aboard, was found by a remote-operated submersible from the American ship Ocean Infinity and is a "positive identification."
The vessel was discovered just two days after families of the missing sailors held a commemoration one year after the sub disappeared, on Nov. 15, 2017.
On Thursday, Argentina remembered the crew members from the ARA San Juan submarine. Relatives of the crewmen had expressed disappointment with President Mauricio Macri's Administration, indicating that they were still awaiting some concrete answers about the fate of their loved ones.
