The idling presence of anti-submarine military crafts hovering off the United States' West Coast has prompted concerns of a possible threat to national security.
Concerns have circulated that a foreign submarine from North Korea or Russia could be the reason for the unusual military activity off the coast of California.
Three low-lying military aircraft were reportedly seen in the area using flight-tracking software, despite it not being a normal area of surveillance.

I dunno, I can't see Sean Connery doing a movie dressed like this:
A Russian ballistic submarine commander seeking to defect and hand his boat over to the USA might. Dress uniform underway is unusual, but Clancy's novel reportedly was inspired by true events.
I see what you did there.
“The Navy looks for boring dead pan lifeless types with no personality to man their subs. Its a job qualification.”
Much like the late Bill Paxton’s acting style. God rest his soul.
Note the shoreline. He is not all that far from land. Also, how does that bastard keep his hair in place on open water? Apparently more oil than in the crankcase of my old truck?
They still using P-3s in California? In Jacksonville, they've switched to 737s. (Of course, the P-8s did have problems with the Chinese electronics that they relied upon).
If you are a Nork commander, you probably don't worry about getting the crew back. And if you are a Nork sailor, the only reason you'd want to go back would be to keep your family from getting tortured to death.
If their Whiskey is still operational, it has the range for a one way trip. The old Romeos might, as well.
I remember a few years back a missile was fired supposedly from an unknown sub from the California coast heading westward out to sea. At the time it was downplayed and multiple reasons were given for the huge contrail, but the message was clear, that missile could have been fired east from a sub off the California coast into various spots in the U.S. just as easily as aimed harmlessly west into the ocean. I am glad patrols are being done in hopes of deterring that eventuality, as Lard a$$ Kim Jong Un, or Crisco Kim, is unstable enough to try something like that.
Noticed both of his hands are grasping rails. He must not have very good sea legs.
A few years after that incident, the US military decided that announcing their sub launched ballistic missile tests off the west coast was the best play. Heck, feel like an idiot now after fighting the contrail bs story. No wonder the other side put up a good fight. But you cannot deny physics baby.
Could be Chinese.
Wonder why the drifty clothes stop.
Assault on a Queen
Landing gear collapse?
What kept you?
BTW....the "we" to which you refer includes Army; Navy; Air Force and Coast Guard personnel based in the Golden State.
Let the swishies and loud mouth snowflakes defend it.
