Since we know about it, it was tailed by Virginia class sub.

Recognizing that this used to happen all the time during the Cold War ...

Does this mean that Hillary did not reset our relations with Russia?

To be fair, that’s precisely what they are supposed to do.

WE are supposed to keep them from doing this unmolested.

They’re doing their part, are we doing ours?

A curious question I have...

If International waters are like 12 miles off the coast, then what is the problem if a russian sub is 200 miles off the coast?

Granted, seeing a Russian aircraft carrier and all, 13 miles off the coast would be considered “hostile”? Is there a buffer zone, or courteous zone, so that folks don’t get into a dangerous game?

They’re just checking that cable tap between Washington and Kenya.

If Obama is reelected he will offer to homeport those things in Newport and San Francisco.

I’m thankful to the Ruskies for providing our Navy with free targets.

I wonder if we have underwater robots that can attach tracking devices on Russian subs. Seems like a really good idea.

Or maybe just spraypaint “US Navy says howdeedo!” on the side of the hull. Could be a hoot.

[Hammerhead]

duplicate post.

and why is it news that a russian sub is 200 miles off our coast...or within 12 miles for that matter?

happens every day.

been there, done that.

OK, so lets blab about it to the press, by all means.

Not a big deal, we do this sort of stuff all the time, and the Russians do it as much as they can, which will be steadily more.

This is intelligence and training not threatening or or Sabre rattling. Rarely have mistakes been made and the Russians have moved away from their communist cold war paranoia, so more are less likely.

I wonder what they picked up.
