Pentagon Admits Russian Spy Ship Discovered Near US Submarine Base, Heading For Cuba
On the heels of the unprecedented proximity of 5 Chinese naval ships in the Bering Sea, U.S. military satellites have been tracking a Russian spy ship - capable of cutting undersea communications cables and other sensors - since it was spotted in the north Atlantic last month off the coast of Kings Bay, Ga., home to the U.S. Navy’s East Coast ballistic missile submarine fleet. As FOX News reports, The Pentagon says the ship is transiting toward its next destination - Cuba.
At the U.S. sub base in Georgia, there are six Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, known as “boomers,” each capable of firing 24 Trident intercontinental ballistic missiles. Each missile holds up to 10 independent nuclear warheads. In addition to the ballistic missile subs, there are two other guided-missile subs capable of firing hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
As FOX News reports, a Russian intelligence ship, capable of cutting undersea communications cables and other sensors, has been spotted by the U.S. military off the coast of Kings Bay, Ga., home to the U.S. Navy’s East Coast ballistic missile submarine fleet.
U.S. military satellites have been tracking the Russian spy ship since it was spotted in the north Atlantic last month and slowly began transiting toward its next destination -- Cuba. A senior military official said the ship is now about 300 miles off the coast of the U.S., as it heads toward the island.
Another senior defense official told Fox News that while the Pentagon is tracking the Russian intel ship, the Russian ship “remains in international waters.”
This news comes on the heels of Chin'as unprecedented proimity to the US coastline, and is not the first time for Russia...
In January, another Russian spy ship was spotted moored in Havana harbor in Cuba. Russian intel ships have been spotted in Cuba on a number of occasions in the past year.
The Washington Free Beacon was first to report the most recent sighting of the Russian spy ship.
In April, the head of the U.S. military’s Northern Command, Adm. Bill Gortney, confirmed the presence of two other Russian military ships operating near the United States at the time.
“They were the same ships that took part in the Russian-Chinese naval exercises which recently concluded in the Sea of Japan,” the official said.

Of course, this is no surprise to US military...
When asked if the U.S. had similar spy ships off the coast of Russia, he answered, “Of course we do, what do you think all those ‘oceanographic ships’ are doing, studying whales?”

none of this crap will take place under MY watch...I'll send Chuck Norris, Ronda Rousey, AND Seal Team 6 all at the same time to take care of business whereever need be ... let's make America great again !!
MDB's new handle? I like it...
Neocon warmongering bearing fruit.
so we are tracking subs now? is there a chart for that? ticker?
Yes, but it too is manipulated.
This kind of thing is happening all the time. Let the Chinese listen, it still won't make the Han class any quieter.
Those ships are just delivering my Chinese food. How any times do I have to ask them to send a guy on a bike???
"capable of cutting undersea communications cables and other sensors"
That is not spying , that is sabotage.
The Ruskies need to get that close to the US so they can put men ashore so the men can set up accounts on porn and dating sites under the name of Biden's kid.
hahaha, that was one of the funniest articles ever. What a douche that guy is...
NUKE EM ALL NOW!!
FUCKING NUKE THE PINKO COMMIE BEDWETTER FAGS NOW!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snTaSJk0n_Y
THAT'LL SHOW EM!!
YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!!
YOU MOOKS!
Time for scotch
Ever seen your average young Cuban woman? Oh my goddess they are so easy on the eyes. Those Russian sailors just can't wait to get into port!
That's what's really going on here. Screw the undersea cables.
U.S. military satellites have been tracking the Russian spy ship since it was spotted in the north Atlantic last month and slowly began transiting toward its next destination -- Cuba
I heartily advise the Russian crew to remain on board that "spy ship" once in Cuban waters. Cuba's bays rival even Russian lakes for toxic pollution levels. Havana is a fucking cancer/emphysema ward.
Don't people realize what we are talking about? Six submarines doesn't sound like much, does it? Until you do some primary school math: 6 submarines. times 24 Tridents, times 10 warheads = 1440 nuclear bombs.
Imagine: 1440 cities whiped off the face of the earth within half an hour.
Humans should not have this kind of power, because they have a track record of behaving as irresponsible as monkeys.
Sounds good. You know what's even better?
There is no rule in war saying you can't nuke yourself, and one of the benefits is that no other country can physically stop you from doing it. There's not a single missile defense shield that can protect you from a self inflicted head shot.
America is called the breadbasket of the world, it'd be a shame if the top 12 inches of topsoil had to be carted off as nuclear waste, and all of the chemical fertilizer plants suddenly went 'Poof'...
The war of the future won't take more than 5 minutes to ensure everyone dies the same.
Don't forget Wesley Snipes.
Diversity, my brother.
Now I feel saved.
Steven Seagal too... though he's kinda old and fat now...
Tonald, that's your idea of what will make America great again, not Trump's.
Why quote FAUX news?
They're all pretty bad.....yes.....all of them.
Scares the old people who can't be bothered with reason and logic and only want to have something to complain about and be afraid of.
As a qualified old person, I suggest you go fuck yourself, you know nothing punk. I ain't your Daddy's old man you fucking ungrateful piece of shit. The person who mistakenly brought you in to this world is now old. So after your self abuse, shoot your mother to emphasize your stupid assertion... Geez! Self absorption knows no end in this nation.
See, I don't even know you and yet I know what you are all about. Comes with experience.
The general audience of Fox News is old white people. Fact.
Pointing that out makes me an ungrateful piece of shit and I should shoot my mother over it as well? Normally I have a great deal of respect for my elders, but Christ, what a wrinkled and liver spotted, dried-up cunt you are.
You don't know shit about me, pops and you know what? I know more about YOU given your cranky and impotent comment and that is: You are a miserable old piece of shit who thinks he knows it all. Go fuck yourself.
farflungstar got owned...now just over-compensating. "you mad?"
ya know-I had a grandaddy who used to warn about picking a fight with an old guy.
"Old Guys are tired, cranky and EXPIERIENCED. They won't fight ya. They'll just kill ya and be done with it"
just sayin'
Cuba? I thought they were our buddies now?, ...I need a score card to follow this shite..
Cuba is gonna supply 200k troops to the US to "help" with the civil unrest, according to Alex Jones. How does that make any sense?
If they land in Naples, who would stop them, the rainbow army?
They'd die laughing over the guys in leather harness and feather boas.
IN THE NAVY!
Same shit that's been going on for decades, but people think that power politics disappeared after the cold war and can't understand that the game never ended......
You've hit the key. We are mis-taught that these are discreet events, but the competition for resources and markets never ends.
Peekaboo!
Oh for fuck's sake....just start your damn war and say it's because we're exceptional. Nobody in Murica is going to care anyway.
Squirrel!!!
OK, we have a vote for a dead world. Far thinking post.
Make that two votes.
I'd rather a dead world that's mine, or even has a chance of being mine, as opposed to the current farce.
I'll take Fallout 4 any day of the week, just launch the nukes already!
Ah well, what goes around comes around... The US Empire can't expect to have a completely clear run, just yet.
Not to worry, the newer electronics on U.S. equipment is all made in China and have a built-in kill switch.
I have seen the destructive testing centers. Nothing from China there.
That is one lousy spy ship if it can be seen by radars.
putin regime failer... again... and again...and again... and etc.
But how come NATO haven't been able to find all those ISIS convoys in the desert yet? It's been over 12 months now since they first appeared on our TV screens yet here we are with the most powerful military in the world still unable to find them and do away with them.
Any answer to that?
It is hard to find that which you are paid not to look for.
And with all that tech they still haven't supplied us with the proof that Russia shot down that passengar plane...
Indeed. The Brits have had the black box for over a year now. It follows that they are either incompetent or complicit. Take your pick.
One of life's mysteries.
"The Pentagon says the ship is transiting toward its next destination - Cuba."
Who cares? All of these childish non-threats should be ignored.
Besides, now that the stupid pols here have somehow begun to ignore the Cuban expat voter influence and dropped some of the stupid restrictions against Cuba, Cuba will eventually be what it should become once again to its great advantage - a US resort island where the Russian navy won't be welcome.
Venezuela's still closeby and receptive to Russian ships and Chinese loans.
Well yes. Venezuela is a basket case from following the Soviet/Russian model of resource socialism. Do you think the Russians will be able to prop up the Venezuelan economy? And if so for how long?
You will recall the USSR tried that trick and look what it got them.
Your rumbling and Orwell moniker are poles apart genius.
That's a NATO submarine base. The US doesn't have a military. It is now a globalist military run by banksters.
Those guys in the Russian boat couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a US attack boat. And they don't even know they are there. I do not care how one regards the US military but I can tell you with confidence, submariners from America don't get any better. These guys are really scary when at sea.
On what basis you are saying they dont even know attack boats are there?
Bad boys.. bad boys... What ya... What ya... What ya gonna do?!!!
Nice work Rupert... Now get back to the Sheila(s) with the low cut blouses in your "News Room"!
Funny how the USSA war whores think nothing of wargaming in other nation's backyards, arming terrorist proxies, feigning innocence and causing mass refugee emigration, but when a foreign sub or ship cruises by in int'l waters, these fat, pear-shaped cucks get their panties all in a bunch.
The US military is not so easily scared. The bed wetting is for the ignorati. And to develop the Russians as the next enemy. Your daily two minutes of hate.
And hate is the prime tool for control. And given all the hate on this board it is working quite well.
Your hate will be used against you. Emotion is the illusion of power. I don't much care for it. I do like eliciting it. It puts me half a step ahead.
+1000
This happens all the time. Better question is why leak that US is tracking them?
There are many reasons why we should not do some of the stuff we do overseas.
There is no reason to ignore matters that affect, even peripherally, the nation's strategic assets.
Never letting good crisis' go to waste!...
Especially the ones you pay exorbitant out of pocket costs to fabricate!...
This kind of stuff has been going on forever. But I guess around here it is NEWS.
And there is a lot of stuff around here about who to hate. And the chumps fall for it. Never asking:
Who is behind the hated?
Why would the Pentagon disclose this?
So you know who to hate. To get a war started you need a LOT of hate. Only the military does this sort of thing cold blooded. But they need white hot hate in order to get civilian support.
It works the same everywhere. I think Goering pointed it out.
And about half the dupes posting here fall for some brand of hate. It is ALL useful.
To THEM. Who ever they are. It is of no use to you. In fact it will hurt you. But you love your hate. It FEELs so good. Roll in it. Revel in it. Delicious hate.
It is a deadly sin for a reason. Not because of what it does to THEM. Because of what it does to you. It clouds the mind and corrodes the soul.
When you recognize it as propaganda, you're ahead of so many sheep.
Capitalize on it.
GSA schedules prohibit Chinese-made technology from being purchased for US government sites. Canon maintains special assembly plants in order to be able to be qualified as a viable source for GSA bids for printers and copiers, etc.
commercial printers are made in China though....
Thank you.
There are many non-morons in the defense establishment. Not all of them are like Wesley Clark.
17 moar months of the freak show.
MIC loves spending money on this useless shit.... "We must defend America!" - My Ass, slash the defense budget to $1.98 and the US would still be safe and secure...
Let me guess. You subracted your license plate number from your last lottery ticket number to come up with $1.98.
Am I right?
OH NO AN OCEAN VESSEL OF ANOTHER COUNTRY WAS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS OFF OUR COUNTRY ON THE WAY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY! PANIC! - Fox "news"
Gosh! 300 miles offshore. Heading for Cuba, newest buddy and US ally. Double Gosh!
Going to turn themselves in, and seek asylum? Or cornering the Kohiba market before Uncle Sam wakes up? Is Putin a secret cigar smoker?
The Russian Intel ship is going to Cuba to Lourdes, where the Soviet Union had a spy station for many years (like the NSA listening posts)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28338996
So Cuba has wised up. They are getting a bidding war going.
They normalized = They diversified
It's a fucking decoy you fucking idiots.
It's a cat and mouse game between pathetic career military fucks on both sides. This is their job. No real war, just games. What else would they do? It's also a another way to get stupid fucks here to blather on about their ignorance.
Questions for the more intelligent and well-hung droogs...
Who's watching the old barge stacked with coal, or the crude oil container ship wander around the Gulf of Mexico with an EMP capable missile waiting below deck and enough explosives on board to sink the evidence?
Then KAPOW!! right through the eye of a nasty gulf hurricane, detonating 200 miles above fucking Dorthy and Toto's farm in Kansas. Say "buh-bye" to all electrical systems in North America.
Who would we blame then? The Russians, the North Koreans, the Chinese, or the bored Pentagon fucks?
Who's watching the crusie ship, or the container ship pass through the Panama Canal with enough explosives to blow the Panama canal back into the 17th Century and stop all equitorial shipping between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans?
Now, THAT would be real 'quantitative tightening' of world trade. Don't ya think?
Who is watching the old fishing trallers accidently dragging their anchors over undersea fiber optic cables on both side of the U.S.? Or the fleet of nuclear submarines that can tap into those fiber optic cables and send a bolt of love amperage to the land based receiving stations, frying them into molten plastic and copper?
Either way we can say "buh-bye" to our Internet dependency and lame (and good) jokes here in ZH land.
Wake The Fuck Up my Droogies.
Pay attention to what they do not show you, not the fucking decoys.
Love and leather lashes,
Alexa (your Dream Dominatrix)
Excellent point.
But who's watching the good ship Lollypop besides Element?

The US shouldn't even be talking about it.
As to tapping into undersea fibre cables, and somehow zapping the shore infrastructure, you would certainly be able to degrade (probably destroy) the repeater modules, but that's about all. Of course, that in itself would be sufficient to stop signal traffic, and so render the cable at least temporarily useless.
The shore power supplies are pretty tough, HV systems, with all the associated HV protection, so the energy pulse delivered to the cable (inner and outer conductors) would have to be very substantial, especially in view of transmission losses / wavefront degradation over a line optimised for HV dc rather than HF propagation.
There was a very good article linked by ZH some years ago running a possible scenario where the US really overstepped the mark, and the Chinese (with Russian "help") were able to stop the US dead in their tracks (and "reclaim" Diego Garcia as part of reparations). Very credible, very covert operation using Sunburn type missiles carried (and launched) from standard, completely anonymous shipping containers - a technology which we KNOW Russia AND China have developed for purely logistics reasons. With annual Global container movements in the order of 135 million units, detection of "unconventional payloads" without disruption of World trade, might be challenging. http://www.lcfd.co.uk/knowledge-bank/freight-movement-stats/global-conta...
As to "Middle East Terrorists" and their "Dirty Bomb" popular scaremongering - why would they bother with a primitive (so ineffective) weapon when there's the Black Market. Everyone from the top down "has their price", and the ME has their fair share of very smart strategic thinkers, despite the US mindset that they are all as think as the brick.
I'm hoping this is a hoax /spoof. The possibility that this is even partially true is very unsettling, - http://documentarystorm.com/how-buy-nukes-black-market/
I am sure the U.S. Navy understands that all trawlers are really fishing boats and that all freighters are carrying freight. The subs and surface combatants are what they worry about.
Yup, intel agencies watch the rest. Even talking about this ship off the US coast is a silliness amplifier, far better to say nothing at all.
When I checked Live Ships yesterday, this vessel was already docked in Havana...
/cough *bullshit*
Not much of a spy ship when every move you make is tracked. LOL!
The Article was quite lame. But the comment section was way out exciting.
"capable of cutting undersea cables and other sensors". Like maybe the sonar nets?
go Putin!!!
Sink it.
Good God! Chinese ships to the West of Us.
Russian ships to the East of Us.
We're surrounded!
Bring all our troops back home to defend the Motherland!

Really, a non-story and smoke screen/disinfo campaign of some type. No sense worrying about some 'hypothetical' russian/chinese invasion; c'est la vie. First of all, it would not take both countries to overrun the USSA; China could do it all by themsleves, and they would not even need weapons. Demographically speaking, there are nearly twice as many of them, and they are a lot younger than we are. They could just come over here and trample us to death, while we were otherwise occupied watching the latest 'reality' offering also known as pablum for the brain dead, stuffing pork rinds into our mouths and wondering if our welfare check has arrived yet. I am not sure what it will take for America to wake the fuck up, but it may already be too late.
It was a mistake.
They thought being in Swedish waters.
It was a mistake.
They thought being in Swedish waters.
Well we know Russian subs can't hide.
You know shit lumberjack.
So how do we KNOW the destination of a Russian spy ship? Are we guessing, and watching the face of Putin as he reads this for the first time?
LMFAO @ the myriad Ruso propagandist idiots trolling here.
