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.
