Anti-submarine aircraft have been loitering over the same area off the California coast for hours, which is fueling speculation that a Russian – or a North Korean – submarine was spotted in the area. While the report of a foreign vessel is unconfirmed at this point, the military patrol is apparently not part of a routine exercise due to the number of aircraft hovering over the same area and the late hours of operation.
The patrol includes multiple low-flying aircraft including a Navy EP-3E Aries II, which is used for electronic surveillance, a Navy P-3C Orion, which is used for submarine spotting, and a Boeing P-8 Poseidon used for anti-submarine warfare. Additionally, a Royal Canadian CP-140 Orion, also known for submarine spotting, joined the search. Southern California is home to several naval installations.
Well I just received intelligence from my own girlfriend who works on NAS North Island just told me a P-3 squadron is in San Diego on a training detachment, so before you get alarmed any news source declaring a Russian sub is off our coast well it's false. See folks this is a major problem in the news media who has no connections to the military, because they will even use military training detachments to fear monger you when it seems the world is crumbling. So if you're scared about reports of a Russian sub off the San Diego coast, well it doesn't exist folks...Because it's this thing called a military detachment, and obviously idiots will use it to fear monger the masses in America at a time when Russian and American relations seem to be on the brink.
