The ship began the trip north along the coast from Havana, where it was photographed and is expected to return.

The ship is the "Victor Leonov" a Russian intelligence ship.

Wonder if it's a shakedown run

denmark would have noticed as well

New systems test

idk how they could possibly do that

Slav magic

the ship goes 18 mph

I'm certain it can go much faster

it wouldve taken 10 days full speed for that thing to cross fucking greenland's territory to get here

Fuck, our capitals push 35 knots

not to mention go around greenland

Because it is international waters. Denmark wouldn't likely inform the US immediately. Also that Denmark isn't actively patrolling international waters nor does it have the capable technology that the US has to detect ships at far range.

11 days

Not even Iceland would have noticed. Maybe the UK but again it is reported that it came from Havana

what did?

the ship?

Egp we don't know its max speed

The ship.

i just googled it

the ships models max speed is 16 knots

Please don't tell me you think wiki naval stats are reliable

^

i mean

It's Russia they aren't telling the world their full naval capabilities

seems accurate for a 1988 ship

Lolwhut

Ww2 cruisers were twice as quick

^

There was even a ww1 ship that pushed 30 iirc

"I wouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill," Candler said. "It's a ship, but it's not the Great White fleet. And it is not uncommon for all kinds of ships from all kinds of places to be all over the world. A military ship up here all by itself is kind of unusual. But these kinds of ships — and we do the same thing — go all over the place to stay reasonably accustomed to the waters."

nvm

yeah i just checked american ships

Yeah , wiki lies

The 300-foot, SSV-175 Viktor Leonov, is packed with electronic gear to monitor sonar and communications. It is armed with defense weaponry. For years, it has been patrolling near East Coast U.S. Naval installations and was spotted two years ago near the Navy's Trident ballistic missile submarine base in Kings Bay, GA.

This is why Denmark didn't report it. It's already been here.

I can tell you the cruise and test depth of the ohio is more than double what wiki states

the uss constitution goes slightly slower lmao

Keeek

the fucking

oldest ship
