BREAKING: Russian Nuclear Attack Sub Detected In Atlantic Ocean; Near East Coast

Current status
SOSUS was gradually condensed into a smaller number of monitoring stations during the 1970s and 1980s. However, the SOSUS arrays themselves were based upon technology that could only be upgraded irregularly. With the ending of the Cold War in the 1990s, the immediate need for SOSUS decreased, and the focus of the US Navy also turned toward a system that was deployable on a theatre basis. In effect, the end of the Cold War eliminated much of the justification for maintaining IUSS at its full capability, with the existence and capabilities of SOSU and IUSS being declassified in 1991.[2] Although officially declassified in 1991, by that time IUSS and SOSUS had long been an open secret.[3]
The SOSUS components are now primarily used for scientific projects such as tracking the vocalisations of whales and other ocean mammals in various study projects and as a data network for undersea instrumentation packages, and for acoustic thermometry.
Commander, Undersea Surveillance (CUS), head of the IUSS, was elevated to a Navy Echelon IV command on 28 February 2007[4] at NAS Oceana / Dam Neck Annex, Virginia, operates under the operational guidance of COMPACFLT. Naval Ocean Processing Facilities adjacent to NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington, and NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia, still monitor SOSUS and FDS, and they provide SURTASS connectivity around the world. A third facility, operated in conjunction with the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence is located at RAF St. Mawgan and is known as Joint Maritime Facility (JMF) St. Mawgan.[5]

another day, another dollar...

Idiot.

They should have blown it out of the water.

You actually believe otherwise?

Vote for Obama and we will have Russian's walking down Pennsylvania Avenue..along with Chavez..and every terrorist outfit in the world!

Vote romney and add the radiactive element

russians have very good subs.

LOL, gotta love wikipedia.

It would be sad if the enemy relies on that information for intelligence gathering and planning.

Suffice to say, there isn't any movement in the ocean that can't be detected now, anywhere, in real time... All data available, even when an enemy sailor farts they can know it.

:P

This maybe linked to the activities that have occurred in the middle east, maybe Russia and its allies are feeling uncomfortable with the United States activities in Iraq, Afghan, Libya, and Syria.

it was before. In the Soviet Union era.

Russia and their cold war technology is no match for Captain America

WTF IS GOING ON WITH THESE SUBS OFF OUR COASTS!!!

VOTE FOR SANDWICH

Thousands of government employees are too busy checking around womens virgina's, boobs and butts and around mens balls for little tiny bombs at airports, bus/train stations. But they missed a huge Russian Nuclear Attack Sub In Atlantic Ocean and the recent Nuclear Attack Sub in the GOM recently.


If they can't find huge Russian Nuclear Attack Subs just off the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts then why are they wasting our time at the airports, bus/train stations???? LOL

in Russia as well and in America. You are given a choice between evil big and evils lesser.

Where did Ron Paul? :))))))

lol I have to say it.... THE FUCK IS THAT??? Lmaoo rolmaoo

maybe the autor article in freebeacon?

Article says the sub was tracked and monitored and the system to do so that is in place worked correctly. I don't see what people are over thinking this. We have tons of boats within 100s of miles from Russia as well, WAY more than Russia's pathetic post Cold War Navy.

We're not just going to start a war over an attack boat doing normal training recon and tactic training. We do the same exact thing. If it was an SSBN boat, then I'd be a little more hesitant to give the slightest fuck about this. We're probably tracking all of them anyways, our attack class subs are LEAGUES above the Russian ability to track.

Every time there is talk of cutting the war mongers “defense” budget they trot out one sort of boogieman or another. This time it’s a Russian sub off the coast.

You sheep really are ready for the shear.

umm..isn't the line for international waters exactly 200 miles offshore?
...in fact I'm almost 100% sure it is.
...so doubt very much the US Navy was tracking Russian subs within 50 miles.

That would have had them panicking for sure!

in place Americans I would be more cared about Club-K, than about the Russian submarines :)

Well at least its not a yellow Submarine, its a commie submarine.

Yes international waters but they knew it would get someones attention. Like someone standing on your property line waiving a gun running their mouth.

I would be more afraid of Russia's new drone weapons..

NO its not like that at all.

I was walking on the beach in hilton head with mywife today and joked about this exact thing. We saw something off the coast.

παράνοια ?
