    U.S. Shadowing Russian Ship in Atlantic Near Nuclear Submarine Areas

    Here is an interesting article by Bill Gertz- who is very knowledgeable on foreign affairs, US and Russian military capabilities and future plans.

    U.S. intelligence ships, aircraft, and satellites are closely watching a Russian military vessel in the Atlantic that has been sailing near a U.S. nuclear missile submarine base and underwater transit routes, according to Pentagon officials.The Russian research ship Yantar has been tracked from the northern Atlantic near Canada since late August as it makes its way south toward Cuba.
    Defense officials familiar with reports on the Russian ship say the Yantar is believed to be gathering intelligence on underwater sensors and other equipment used by U.S. nuclear submarines based at Kings Bay, Georgia. The submarines, their transit lanes, and training areas stretch from the coastal base through the Atlantic to Europe.
    Intelligence analysts believe the ship, one of Russia’s newest military research vessels commissioned earlier this year, is part of a larger strategic intelligence-gathering operation against U.S. nuclear missile submarines and other targets.

    Which is why the US should expect it in return. Russia would be stupid not to engage in the same tactics used by the US military and to try and gather as much intelligence as possible.

    There was a statement from a DoD spokesman to that effect in the article. I imagine we are gathering as much intel on the ship's capabilities as well.

    Yeah... such rather overt snooping is nothing new. When you know what's up.. you often can just flip a switch and shut off some stuff.. turn other stuff on...so..the Russians ain't learning anything useful.

    I think the US is concerned about that deep sea submersible that can drop down, find the top secret cables, and snip them.

    But I imagine the Navy has it covered.
