Ships and aircraft still are scouring the South Atlantic for the ARA San Juan and its 44 crew members, which disappeared November 15 a few hundred kilometers off Argentina's coast. An undated photo provided by the Argentina Navy shows the ARA San Juan. The Argentine navy had previously said the vessel's captain reported a short-circuit in the vessel's battery system shortly before the last known contact. On Tuesday, the navy released new details, including the times and contents of the vessel's communications with a command base. He says the water caused a short-circuit in the battery system in the vessel's bow and the beginnings of a fire, or smoke.
