Russian Sub Skirts Coast
Washington Free Beacom ^ | 11/6/12 | Bill Gertz

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine cruised within 200 miles of the East Coast recently in the latest sign Russia is continuing to flex its naval and aerial power against the United States, defense officials said.

The submarine was identified by its NATO designation as a Russian Seirra-2 class submarine believed to be based with Russia’s Northern Fleet. It was the first time that class of Russian submarine had been detected near a U.S. coast, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of anti-submarine warfare efforts.

One defense official said the submarine was believed to have been conducting anti-submarine warfare efforts against U.S. ballistic and cruise missile submarines based at Kings Bay, Georgia.

The vessel is not the normal AGI that most people are used to. This is a sea going tug Sliva Class SB-406.

No true AGI would routinely transmit its position by sending weather that included its latitude and longitude. I've been tracking this vessel in Morse Code for months now. It passed through the English Channel and headed out into the Atlantic. It was probably deployed to monitor the X-37B launch and recovery into and out of Florida?

These are some examples of the Morse Code weather being transmitted by the vessel back in early October off Florida. At the time the X-37B was scheduled to be launched but was cancelled for a later date. RJQ84 is the vessel transmitting the weather and RIW is Moscow. The weather transmitted is international format. The following is the information stripped out to just the latitude and longitude, course speed group.

8345 Kilohertz

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 02001 99295 70781 22212 @0024Z

This equates to

29.5N 78.1W Heading North East at 6-10 Knots

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 01181 99293 70794 22212 @0007Z

This equates to

29.3N 79.4W Heading North East at 6-10 Knots

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 04001 99286 70784 22221 @0001Z

This equates to

28.6N 78.4W Heading East at 1-5 Knots
