Argentina's La Nacion news, January 26, 2020, reports Argentina may buy one of Norway's old Type 210 "Ula" class submarines - effectively replacing the tragically sunk ARA San Juan.
The specific article is https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/el-gobierno-negocia-con-noruega-la-compra-de-un-submarino-nid2327486 which (when right-click mouse translated) indicates:
"Although they did not [provide] abundant details, the [Argentine] Government began efforts to negotiate the possible purchase of a submarine with the naval authorities of Norway."
"It [terminated previous discussions that Argentina] had initiated with the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, for the cession of [4 old Type 209, Brazillian submarines] in an agreement destined to guarantee the joint patrolling in the South Atlantic...
...Since the tragedy of the ARA San Juan, Argentina has run out of operational submarines...."
PETE COMMENT
As Norways is buying 4 Type 212CD submarines from Germany a total of 5 more "Ula" submarines may eventually become available - perhaps for purchase by Argentina or another country (maybe Poland?).
