U.S. intelligence ships, aircraft, and satellites are closely watching a Russian military vessel in the Atlantic that has been sailing near a U.S. nuclear missile submarine base and underwater transit routes, according to Pentagon officials.
The Russian research ship Yantar has been tracked from the northern Atlantic near Canada since late August as it makes its way south toward Cuba.
Defense officials familiar with reports on the Russian ship say the Yantar is believed to be gathering intelligence on underwater sensors and other equipment used by U.S. nuclear submarines based at Kings Bay, Georgia. The submarines, their transit lanes, and training areas stretch from the coastal base through the Atlantic to Europe.
Intelligence analysts believe the ship, one of Russia's newest military research vessels commissioned earlier this year, is part of a larger strategic intelligence-gathering operation against U.S. nuclear missile submarines and other targets.

During the Cold War, the “Russian trawler” in the transit route for submarines departing bases was common. We always had a track on one when we left our port in New London and in Holy Loch.
King’s Bay is home port to Ohio class subs...the boomers.

I sure hope so, too close for comfort here. On the other hand, there was recently an expedition again trying to find it. I hope your are right and the expedition was a ruse.
Home port for my son.
God bless your son....
