<HTML>Steve,
Thank\'s mate, that is some good info!
>>Of the two 209 boats, the A.R.A. Salta (S-31) is still in service. The A. R. A. San Luis (S-32) started refit in 1991, but it was decided to scrap her instead. <<
Those boats were delivered in \'74. If she was scrapped in \'91...what sort of refit and upkeep do they get if they can\'t life span at least 20 years...?
>>I think the Sea King killed a whale. ;-)<<
Probably!
Thanks,
Aye,
John
