GROTON, CT (WFSB) -

A Russian spy ship was spotted off the Connecticut coast on Wednesday.

The ship was seen patrolling the waters 30 miles from the Groton SUBASE. Congressman Joe Courtney, who is a ranking member of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, said the sighting "underscores that the threats posed by a resurgent Russia are real.”

Of course, I’d like to know how much Soviet crews of those “spy trawlers” were paid for these missions—very small ships travelling across the oceans and subject to some pretty ridiculous wave conditions. And those little boats were operating off the coasts of the continental USA and Hawaii.

But it’s fun hearing our elected officials [CT] squealing like little girls.

CNN will be reporting later today “a little dinghy was seen rowing out to it- some claiming it to be General Flynn-”

One of my favorite movies of all time!

Wow! This is news?

[RayChuang88]

That's why I think that intelligence ship off the US East Coast might be one of the new, larger specialized intelligence vessels like the Balzam-class ship I showed a picture of earlier.

Are CNN and MSNBC reporting this as Trump’s getaway vessel?

That is f*****g hilarious!!!!!!!!!

All they have to do is to tune in CNN.

Shit. I see them 200 miles off Ocean City along with Chinese trawlers when tuna fishing.

I love it!

They've been around, as I recall, most of my life. No biggie. Spent a fair amount of time out in LIS and never saw a Ruskie. But I did meet Alan Arkin several times. What a nice guy.

Better have lots of vodka ready.

What? Our militia is gathering to defend our coast.

[Freemeorkillme]

Nothing new about this...Has been happening for years and years...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly. Of course, this is being used to say this is somehow Trumps fault. He provoked this.

[Daffynition]

LOL....the moment I typed that, I realized, I’m totally out of vodka. :)

I wonder if we’ll get any defectors out of this trial?

The ship just missed the huge dangerous storm in the North Atlantic. I understand they came from the south, Havana.

I guess the fact that this ship makes this trip once or twice EVERY SINGLE YEAR makes absolutely no difference to the hysterical fake news, right??

This ship spends EVERY winter in Cuba.

If you grew up in the Cold War era ...it was very funny. Touched home. Many of the same actors were in *It's a Mad-Mad- World*. Also a classic.

All those Russian pilots ‘buzzing’ SPY-1D AEGIS DDGs should be wearing lead shields over certain parts of their anatomy.

[Brilliant]

The Dems are trying to gin up antiRussian hysteria.

I heard the name of the ship is The Caspian Queen.
