Sub end of navy boss

ARGENTINA has dismissed its naval chief, a month after a submarine went missing with 44 crew members aboard.

State news agency Telam said Defence Minister Oscar Aguad had requested Admiral Marcelo Srur step down while authorities look into what happened to the ARA San Juan, which disappeared on November 15.

An internal navy investigation had already led to the suspension of two commanders last week.

An international search operation has so far failed to locate the vessel.
