TELEGRAPH
Argentina's Defense Minister announced that a submarine already under construction ...would be the nation's first to be outfitted with nuclear propulsion...allowing it to operate with extreme stealth...and high speed for long periods.
The announcement is sure to alarm the UK in its long running dispute with Argentina over the Falkland/Malvinas islands.
This new found popularity of expensive nuke subs has also infected neighboring Brasil.
Last month, it announced work on 5 new submarines, one to be nuclear-powered, to protect its vast new offshore oilfields.
