1982 - During the Malvina's war (Falkland's war), the British intelligence was looking for our submarines. One of them, the Santiago del Estero, (ex Chivo) was out of service; old, tired, without sonar dome, resting in Mar del Plata Navy Base, helping the submarine school. However, during April 1982, hidden, the submarine sailed from Mar del Plata to Puerto Belgrano Navy Base.
The submarine sailed herself during around 30 hours, with her 4 engines running and with the hydraulic system in service.
