A Russian spy ship was spotted patrolling off the East Coast of the United States on Tuesday morning, the first such patrol since President Trump took office, two U.S. officials told Fox News.
The Russian spy ship was 70 miles off the coast of Delaware, heading north at 10 knots, according to one official. That location means the ship is in international waters. The U.S. territory line is 12 nautical miles.
It was not immediately clear where the Russian spy ship is headed.

The ship, the SSV-175 Viktor Leonov, last sailed near the U.S. in April 2015, an official said. The ship is capable of intercepting communications or signals, known as SIGINT, as well as measuring U.S. Navy sonar capability, a separate official said.

Could be Flynn was told Russia was hunkering down and taking defensive positions hair trigger WWIII ready in response to NATO’s current active actions at that time, that are a real threat to Russian life. Flynn could possibly have been talking them down and convincing them to hold off based on a wait and see proposal with respect to how this new administration approaches their relationship going forward. So Flynn may have been helping to avert and put off a potential tragic Russian move, and that was why he embarked on this conversation early.
Russian showing it’s intelligence card on the coast coinciding with Flynn’s resignation is something one might want to keep in the back of their mind as they take into consideration all of the ramifications playing out here.
