If it breaks down, will we offer to fix it?

Back in the my Navy days, there was always one hanging off San Diego watching who came in and left. I always wanted to make a buck off it. Run harbor tours, “See the Genuine Soviet Spy Ship”. Alas, those thing are the ugliest rust-buckets you could imagine. Lousy paint job, no flag flying, rusty, unshaven crew in skivvies...Meh...

About 35 years ago while on a fishing trip out of San Diego we circled a Soviet “fishing trawler.” It had no nets or fishing gear, but it had lots of radio antennae on it. We were close enough to make out the hair color of the crewmen.

I sailed out of Groton, on SSN578, and SSN571, two of the three submarines I served in. I was raised in Pawcatuck/Stonington CT just 12 mi East of Groton. The Russian trawlers were always there waiting for us when we left on patrol. They would follow us, "collecting intelligence," until we got to the 100 fathom curve where we would dive. Besides electronic info, they collected water samples and othere miscl. junk trailing behind us. Occasionally we would release the 1,000 pound contents of one of our shit tanks for them to collect. Wonder what kind of stuff they found out from analyzing our turds.

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

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