Buenos Aires - Argentina's Navy said on Saturday that it was ramping up the search for a submarine that hadn't been heard from in three days and at least six other nations said they would join in the effort. Navy spokesperson Enrique Balbi said that the area being searched off the country's southern Atlantic coast has been doubled as concerns about the 44 crew members grew.

Argentine authorities are scrambling to find a three-decade-old submarine that suddenly stopped communicating during a routine mission Wednesday - an emergency authorities say could range from a fried electrical system to something much worse. The diesel-electric ARA San Juan was returning to its base south of Buenos Aires after a routine mission to Ushuaia, near the southern tip of South America.
