Kuala Lumpur: The Australian Defence Vessel (ADV) Ocean Shield will deploy a mini-sub to join in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the country’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre confirmed.
“Ocean Shield will cease searching with the towed pinger locator and deploy the autonomous underwater vehicle Bluefin-21 as soon as possible,” JACC head Angus Houston was quoted as saying.
Houston stressed on the fact that its has been 38 days the jet went missing since March 8 and the blackbox batteries which have a shelf life of only 30 days, might have died down already.
