A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine cruised within 200 miles of the East Coast recently in the latest sign Russia is continuing to flex its naval and aerial power against the United States, defense officials said.

The submarine was identified by its NATO designation as a Russian Seirra-2 class submarine believed to be based with Russia’s Northern Fleet. It was the first time that class of Russian submarine had been detected near a U.S. coast, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of anti-submarine warfare efforts.

Maybe the Russians were stopping by to cast their votes for Barry?

Hope they have a better maintenance program than they use to have. If not I would not want to be on those subs or thier ships.

Kind of made me wonder too, did they surface due to a fire or a reactor problem? Either way, get it away from the US coast line. Tow that turd to Cuba or better still back to Mother Russia!

Remember that comedy film The Russians Are Coming? IIRC a Soviet sub gets beached near a small town in America. Pretty funny.
