US East Coast No Longer “Safe Haven” Due to Russian Submarines, Admiral Warns
8th February 2020
US Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis, the head of the Navy’s 2nd Fleet, raised eyebrows this week with alarming comments made at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event.
He told the think tank audience that a recent uptick of Russian submarine presence of the US East Coast means that the coastal area should no longer be considered “uncontested” nor should any longer be deemed a “safe haven” for US ships or submarines.
Perhaps they could arrange for marine biologists to tag them, the way they tag sharks. I’m always reading about sharks that have appeared off the east coast because they picked up the tags. Maybe the Navy ought to get on that.
