“The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming!”

One great line:
(said by Russian sailor to American cutie)

“You kiss at me. Than mean same thing in US of A as in Soviet Peoples Republik?”

They would be snagged within days by fishermen. We have folks drift fishing offshore out to 600 feet. Believe it.

Have seen most of the John Agar "B" movies, including this one.

I’ve probably seen it too, at some point in my childhood watching “Creature Feature” on tv.

One of the arguably positive aspects to a very limited number of over-the-air tv stations was that just about everyone in your peer group had seen the same things.

[ExSoldier]

I LIVED for Saturday morning/afternoon "Creature Features" in my youth! There was also a series called SAFARI and featured serials from Tarzan and Jungle Jim and a few others....

"Ridiculous vodka soaked fantasies... 'missiles' don’t get placed for launch just anywhere. How would such be “implanted” without anyone noticing, like our Coast Guard or bubba the estuary fisherman."

Yep. We guard our shoreline almost as closely as we guard our aircraft carriers.

When a Chinese Submarine Appeared In The Middle Of A Carrier Battle Group

"...but nevertheless, the Chinese sub managed to slip through unnoticed. It came as a surprise that the Americans were unable to detect the lone submarine earlier, for their extensive defense screen included a submarine and anti-submarine helicopters, all responsible for protecting the battle group from an underwater attack."

"They would be snagged within days by fishermen. We have folks drift fishing offshore out to 600 feet. Believe it."

Oh I believe it, but I also believe those guys keep their expensive nets away from the known wrecks and debris fields. Lots of places out there in the big blue to stash a bit of stealthy hardware.

Yep. It's a good thing those Russkies are too broke to field an effective
blue water navy that can stand up to ours.


Deadly new Russian weapon hides in shipping container

"Hewson estimated the cost of the Club-K system, which packs four ground or sea-launched
cruise missiles into a standard 40-foot shipping container, at $10-20 million."

[John S Mosby]

11 years ago? Every carrier group has at least 2 US attack subs in picket duty. They knew the chicom sub was there. The entire article is quite exciting and full of speculative “facts” and a lot of excitation that was not there. Translation: The Song class is quite well documented sound signature by our attack boats (who btw can outrun a US carrier at flank speed). Key element to this is passive sonar array that can detect out beyond 5 miles. This is not WWII with direction finding active sonar.

Your reply is to a comment made back in March of last year. Quite a time passage.

Sorry to disturb you on such an old thread, but someone else popped it up to the top again and I just thought I'd respond to your post as it did have some interesting opinions in it. Please don't bother responding if you're not interested and we can just let this thread go back to sleep.

If you are interested though, maybe you could clarify something for me. Are you really saying in your post that you think the Coast Guard along with local fishermen would be able to detect modern stealth submarines?

U.S. Navy on Russia's Stealth Submarines: "They’re a Concern For Us and They’re Highly Capable"


I also found this statement in your original post to be interesting:

"Does the idiot not realize that any “buried” active nuke would be very easy to detect, since it is not under 40 feet of mud."

Can you tell me why you think that nuclear bombs buried offshore would be very easy to detect? I thought they were actually kind of hard to find... If the Russians were going to go to all the trouble to bring a nuke all the way here and implant it right off the coast (that's almost an act of war isn't it?) don't you think they would go the extra mile and dig a hole to put it in while they were at it?

"...seven of the 11 nuclear warheads that are officially missing were lost at home in the USA"

Recalling that this “claim” was ginned up by some vodka soaked former (or current) stalinist in the russian military trying to get some press— and that it was preposterous on the face of it-— that’s my recollection.

Point i made was that “planting” some remotely fireable device would be at best problematic— fire it, how? solid state rocket fuel that degrades over time from underwater and, then when the missile/device emerges from the water how would it be targeted? etc.
As for detection- unless the shell/casing was entirely non-ferrous (like titanium— again we are dealing with salt water) the “device” could be located by magnetometers and by radiation detection vs. normal background- which Coast Guard does have— local fishermen not so much, i’ll grant.

In re: the chi-com song class...there is no comment from the silent service, but... they knew it was there (and of course would never in clear reveal that to chi-coms). This is sort of like why we haven’t shot down a “no-dong” kim jongun slow ass moving (but “terrifying” to liberal HI democrats) poorly targeted missile. Because to do so would reveal what capabilities we have. On the other hand, the recent collapse of the huge under mountain rocket facility in NK was affected by chi-com help (or a US cut-out agent). Recently, the 2nd in command after kim, General Hwang Pyong So, disappeared— maybe he arranged the destruction. Most likely executed.

Off Tybee Island (savannah) in the mud somewhere— is STILL a US Navy thermonuclear (implosion type) bomb, which the Navy says trying to recover would cause more potential damage than leaving it there— imagine. Pretty well known where it is. NPR in 2008 updated the story, fwiw.
The most terrifying “we almost had it happen” was in Goldsboro, NC... in which an armed implosion device was prevented from exploding by the LAST of six safety switchs not having failed. ie. one switch away from rendering most of the Raleigh 100 mile radius unliveable both from bomb and the afterwards. That was seriously close.

[Garth Tater]

Thanks for the excellent reply. I really do appreciate it. I’ll try not to bother you again on 6 month old posts!

Yeah but a lot of sport fishermen target the wrecks to catch the big fish and yeah, they do it down to 600 feet. There are guys who go to great lengths to figure out the currents and what not so they can target those big fish and yeah, they lose a lot o tackle but they catch big fish down at 600 feet.
