Russian Intel Ship Spying on US Missile Submarines

2015-02-14

[Wash Free Bacon] A Russian intelligence-gathering ship is again plying the waters off the southern United States in operations aimed at spying on U.S. ballistic missile submarines based in the area, defense officials said. The intelligence collection ship, Viktor Leonov, has been closely watched by U.S. Navy ships and aircraft for the past several days near Jacksonville, Fla., close to the Naval Submarine Base at Kings Bay, Ga. The ship also conducted operations there in April.

#4 In the mid 80s, my dad and I went out on a fishing boat from Port Canaveral. On the way out we passed a sub, surfaced enough for the deck to be exposed but no identifying marks. Outside the harbor was a Russian "fishing trawler".

That was also the second time I saw Navy jets, apparently sent out to say hello to the Russians.

#2 ....My understanding is that with the exception of a brief period in the 90s, they never stopped keeping an eye on the boomers.
