    Cat and Mouse: A U.S. Destroyer Shadowed a Russian Warship in the Caribbean

    Cat and Mouse: A U.S. Destroyer Shadowed a Russian Warship in the Caribbean

    The U.S. military said recently that it is monitoring the Russian ship's activities.


    One of Russia's most advanced warships is sailing around in the Caribbean, but it's not alone: the U.S. Navy has dispatched a destroyer to keep a close eye on it.


    The Admiral Gorshkov, the first of a new class of Russian frigates built for power projection, arrived in Havana, Cuba on Monday accompanied by the multipurpose logistics vessel Elbrus, the sea tanker Kama, and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker, the Associated Press reported. . . . .

    Israeli media: Russian and US submarines clash in Alaska

    Russia and the US are holding urgent consultations due to an encounter between their submarines, according to a report by the Israeli military news portal DEBKAfile.

    Citing anonymous military sources, the site reports that the incident took place in American territorial waters near Alaska, when a US submarine intercepted a Russian nuclear submarine.


    The Russian submarine that was escorting the strategic submarine reportedly responded with a Balkan 2000 torpedo, which breached the American submarine’s hull. . . .



    The captain's speech to the crew


    How many Boardies remember "The Cold War"?

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    They must be falling over each other up there.
    Yep, remember Red October. Also remember RR reading it at the SALT taps with Russia.
    Ps. The skies as well as the seas are overpopulated with human traffic.

    The only good things to come out of the Cold War:

    1) the U.S. won
    2) James Bond movies

    Question: Did the fire happen with crew deaths
    or is it a cover up as no gov't has denied the sub vs sub incident?

    Inquiring minds want to know.
    The sky and the sea have become areas of confrontation lately, eh!

    Maybe we aren’t grown up enough or clever enough to understand the world of war under the surface of the sea?
