A sound detected on Monday in the South Atlantic Customized Cardinals Jersey , near where an Argentine navy submarine with 44 crew went missing five days ago, is not believed to have come from the ill-fated vessel, a navy spokesman said.
The sound detected by probes initially raised hopes that crew members aboard the ARA San Juan submarine, which disappeared after reporting an electrical malfunction, may have been intentionally making noise to attract rescuers.
But an analysis by Argentine authorities, on the fourth day of a search-and-rescue mission, showed that it was highly unlikely it had come from the German-built submarine, navy spokesman Enrique Balbi told reporters in Buenos Aires.
"It does not correspond to a pattern that would be consistent with bangs against the walls in morse code," Balbi said. He described whatever had been detected as "a continuous, constant sound."
The disappointment followed another letdown earlier in the day, when the navy said satellite calls detected over the weekend did not in fact come from the vessel. (http:tmsnrt.rs2zQ8HGZ)
The vessel reported an electrical problem and was headed back to its base in the port of Mar del Plata when it disappeared on Wednesday, the navy said. Storms have complicated search efforts as relatives wait anxiously.
More than a dozen boats and aircraft from Argentina, the United States, Britain, Chile and Brazil have joined the search effort. Authorities have mainly been scanning the sea from the sky, as storms have made it difficult for boats.
The navy said on Monday night that two boats belonging to French oil company Total SA, which has offshore operations in Argentina, arrived at the Patagonian port of Comodoro Rivadavia to transport rescue equipment the U.S. Navy brought to the country, including a remote-operated vehicle, a mini-submarine, and a submarine rescue chamber.
ELECTRIC MALFUNCTION
Gabriel Galeazzi, a naval commander, told reporters that the submarine had come up from the depths and reported the unspecified electrical malfunction before it disappeared nearly 300 miles off the coast.
"The submarine surfaced and reported a malfunction, which is why its ground command ordered it to return to its naval base at Mar del Plata," he said.
The malfunction did not necessarily cause an emergency, Galeazzi added. The craft was navigating normally, underwater, at a speed of five knots toward Mar del Plata when it was last heard from, he said.
"A warship has a lot of backup systems, to allow it to move from one to another when there is a breakdown," Galeazzi said.
One of the crew is Argentina's first female submarine officer, Eliana Maria Krawczyk, 35, who joined the navy in 2004 and rose to become the master-at-arms aboard the ARA San Juan.
The families of crew members have gathered at the Mar del Plata naval base awaiting news. They were joined on Monday by President Mauricio Macri.
"We continue to deploy all available national and international resources," to find the submarine, Macri said on Twitter.
Intermittent satellite communications were detected on Saturday and the government had said they were likely to have come from the submarine. But the ARA San Juan sent its last signal on Wednesday, according to Balbi.
The calls that were detected "did not correspond to the satellite phone of the submarine San Juan," he said on Monday, adding that the craft had oxygen for seven days. After that, he said, it would have to surface or get near the surface to replenish air supply.
The ARA San Juan was inaugurated in 1983, making it the newest of the three submarines in the navy's fleet. Built in Germany, it underwent maintenance in 2008 in Argentina.
That maintenance included the replacement of its four diesel engines and its electric propeller engines, according to specialist publication Jane's Sentinel.
The man who shot dead 26 people in a Texas church once escaped from a mental hospital and made death threats against his military superiors while serving in the US Air Force, according to a police report.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said meanwhile that it has recovered the phone belonging to the gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, but has been unable to access the device so far.
Kelley died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday after killing 26 people, including an unborn child, with an assault rifle at the First Baptist Church in the small Texas town of Sutherland Springs. He wounded 20 others.
The 26-year-old served in the Air Force from 2010 to 2014, when he received a bad conduct discharge. He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and stepchild, fracturing the baby's skull, and sentenced to 12 months behind bars.
According to a police report, Kelley escaped in June 2012 from a psychiatric facility where he had been sent ahead of his assault conviction. The person who reported him as missing from Peak Behavioral Health Services told police that Kelley "suffered from mental disorders."
He said Kelley was a "danger to himself and others" and had been "caught sneaking firearms onto Holloman Air Force base," where he was stationed.
Police were also told that Kelley had been accused of "attempting to carry out death threats" against his "military chain of command."

CHANGCHUN, China, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese cross-country skiers have little chance to make top-eight finish at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, according to one of the country's top skiers.
"A breakthrough for China's cross-country ski team in Sochi seems a mission impossible," former national champion Li Geliang told reporters here during the Vasaloppet China ski festival.
Chinese cross-country skiers' best performance in the Winter Olympics was in Turin 2006 when they finished 13th in the women's 4x5km relay event.
