| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Artemy Sharapov [REGNUM] The real detective story unfolded in the Caribbean Sea, where the United States threw significant army and naval resources into the search for the Russian nuclear submarine Kazan, which arrived in the region to participate in exercises. Warships and aircraft constantly patrol the US maritime borders and certain areas of the Caribbean Sea, trying to detect traces of a Russian submarine. The day before, a group of warships and vessels of the Russian Navy entered the region: the frigate “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov”, the nuclear submarine “Kazan”, the tanker “Akademik Pashin” and the tugboat “Nikolai Chiker”. On Russia Day, June 12, the ships arrived on an “unofficial visit” to the port of Havana in Cuba. |

| #7 Bunch of 30 footers out there in formation, pinging away with the fish finders, have some fishing magnets over the side at various depths, plus a couple lines in the water astern, not sure what to do if they catch it. Yeah, I'd go. |

| #6 Surprise there wasn't a redneck flotilla out to see if they could pick it up with their fishing sonars. |

| #5 ...I'd also point out that in their effort to play "I'm-not-touching-you', the Russians had to sail fairly close to a little known USN installation called AUTEC. I'd be very surprised if AUTEC didn't hear them quite clearly. With the recorders on. Mike |

| #4 Interesting that the Canadians were involved in this training exercise. I guess the Canadian folks might be interested in giving their trainees some real world experience, too. They have similar concerns about their coastal areas and lurking subs. This experience didn't require really long distance flights from a base, and therefor could rotate instructors and trainees fairly easily. |

| #3 trying to detect... Or just trying different systems out to see which one might be better than another one that already detected the sub. There are a lot of good tools available and some might work better than others. Plus they probably wanted to collect the new sub's signature in a variety of ways. |
