World’s largest nuclear submarine leaves Gibraltar to make way for Black Sea
Express.co.uk ^ | 11/5/22 | Aleks Phillips

The world’s largest nuclear submarine has been spotted leaving Gibraltar under intense protection from the Royal Marines as it reportedly heads towards the Black Sea. The USS Rhode Island’s departure comes as fears grow over what Vladimir Putin will do after another humiliating retreat.

Yesterday, the Russian President called for civilians to leave Kherson in the south of Ukraine due to the advancing counter-offensive on the occupied city.

Officials and Russian commanders who had been installed by the Kremlin in the occupied region were seen fleeing as the Ukrainian counter-offensive pushed south.

Putin’s regime has repeatedly claimed Ukraine was planning to set of a dirty bomb – an explosive laced with radioactive material – which intelligence officials believe may be a precursor to a false flag operation.

What is going on? First the reported W. Va. story? A boomer in the Black Sea? I understand that the Black Sea is 168,00 square miles and 7,000 feet deep but still ...

As usual, the press is wrong about military hardware. The Typhoons are the largest subs.

Perhaps, one day, the lame ass US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media will stop printing BS?

Ukraine was planning to set of a dirty bomb. I believe this to be true seeing the CIA and the military scumbags are on the ground conducting the orchestra

The author is sadly misinformed. Everyone knows the world’s largest nuclear submarine is the Seaview.

Wrong about that and wrong about implying that its going to the Black Sea. It may be moving eastward, but that doesn’t mean its going there on patrol.

The article states that the sub is “reportedly” heading towards the Black Sea without any attribution or substantiation.

All to cover up Biden’s Ukranian corruption. The blackmail must be intense.

It will be a miracle if we can make it to the midterms without the Anglo Saxons starting WW3.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a ‘training accident’ occurs regarding the Americans on that sub, since Ukraine mined the hell out of the Black Sea early in the war.

I’m still skeptical that the W. Va surfacing actually happened.

“The article states that the sub is “reportedly” heading towards the Black Sea without any attribution or substantiation.”

Thanks, Turkey doesn’t allow naval vessels into the Black Sea during war time, so I doubt it actually makes it there.

Don't count on it my friend.

Did the MSM report on the disasters we created and left behind in.....?

-Afghanistan
-Iraq
-Libya
-Syria
-Somali

Or can anyone remember the epic battles where we invaded the massive behemoth countries of...

-Panama
-Haiti
-Granada

And now we have the crazy sanctions that have devastated the economies of the west.

We need to stay home and solve our own problems!

You cannot expect the writers of The Express to know anymore about the Montreaux Convention than they do about submarines.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen the destination of a US submarine broadcast. I call this story BS.

There’s still plenty of time left after the midterms for them for to do it, and lots of people in both parties who will go along with this insanity. Risking an unthinkable catastrophe all over Ukraine. Unbelievable.
