(The Sun) – A major operation to track a deadly Russian sub off the East Coast has failed as the US Navy warns that US-North Atlantic waters are no longer a ‘safe haven’. Navy Second Fleet command trawled the North Atlantic for Russia’s most powerful submarine, the Severodvinsk, but said it remained undetected despite a mission to find it lasting several weeks.
The lack of certainty over the situation has led to the newly recommissioned 2nd Fleet Vice Admiral Andrew ‘Woody’ Lewis warning naval crews to be on guard from the moment they leave port. Commander Lewis said: “Our ships can no longer expect to operate in a safe haven off the east coast or merely cross the Atlantic unhindered to operate in another location.”
The cutting edge Severodvinsk, a Project 885 Yasen class guided missile submarine, is still believed to have been stalking the East Coast since fall and poses a major threat to the mainland according to The Drive. Severodvinsk can carry up to 40 Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles with a range of 1600 miles. Any of these could be nuclear-tipped. READ MORE
