“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.

There is no need to.

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

so I doubt it actually makes it there

nor should they ... missiles from American subs can reach Russia just fine from the Mediterranean, there's no need to go into that enclosed trap known as the "Black Sea"

One would also think that the Sub Brass would not telegraph the route/destination of a boomer to the whole world.

And there’s absolutely no reason to send a boomer into a sea with only a narrow channel (Bosporus) for ingress and egress. Her missiles have a fairly substantial range. A fast attack I could see, but not a boomer.
