The speculation began with unusual aircraft in the area, which is used to spot submarines. The aircraft is as follows:
Among aircraft seen were the Navy EP-3E Aries II, which is used for electronic surveillance, a Navy P-3C Orion, used for submarine spotting, and a Boeing P-8 Poseidon used for anti-submarine warfare, and a submarine spotting Royal Canadian CP-140 Orion. The military vessels were allegedly seen spanning the coastal waters from Los Angeles to the San Diego/Tijuana border near Mexico.
Though the reports remain unconfirmed, they come in the wake of a tumultuous week for the United States foreign activity, after President Trump launched 59 tomahawk missiles at a Syrian air base on Friday.
The action was said to have infuriated Moscow and Russian government.
According to the Sun, Russia and Iran made a joint statement, which read:What America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines.

Russian submarines have been patrolling off our west and east coast since the Cold War. We have been patrolling off their shores over the same period.
If one were to go to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and watch the daily airshow they would think there is some sort of increased military action going on. P3’s and EA6 Prowlers launching all the time. Of course this is all just typical daily flight activities, however to the untrained and uniformed observer they could think up all sorts of stuff.
The Navy doesn’t need to let journalists or anyone know when they decide to do some drills.
No.
Post it here.
You qualling mis-nurtured pignut.
No Prowlers anymore, all F/A-18 E/F Growlers. My gawd they’re loud!
The Whiskeys were built by Russia based upon captured Nazi U-boats. The Romeo was designed in the 1950s and is equally ancient. I doubt most NK subs can submerge -- and then surface.
Having an EP-3E along in this aircraft chowder suggests that they expect a Russian sub to be in communication with Moscow.
Humblegunner: Thank you for your continued vigilance. You have saved me from countless meaningless clicks over the years.
Going to blow up or capture Surfers. Surfs up, Dude, but don’t be swallowed by a submarine.
We are all called to serve if even in a small way.
What’s unusual about it?
I worked on several commercial and military airports. in my experience the Prowlers were far and away the loudest. Made F15’s sound like humming birds.
Worked on Whidbey in 1998-99. Always hated the first of each month when they got their new fuel supply shipment in. Those planes seemed to take off and land non-stop every day until about the last week of each month when they would run low on fuel and curtail most training flights.
Nothing. It was a training exercise.
Scare News Only—Nothing to fear from these Russians. They may well be shadowing a North Korean sub. It the ball goes up they may sink her before starting a larger war with the USA. This is power politics— more like something Napoleon would understand.
What we should be worrying about is NORK nuclear Scuds on container ships parked off our shores:
Where’s the UFO Guy ? He’s needed ,LOL
