Russian Nuclear Submarine in Gulf of Mexico

Well, since he hasn't been "in business" (other than Government business) for a long, long time, and the "reasons" for contributing to him were YOURS and telling why would be disclosing information about YOU ... it occurs in my "imagination" that you know far less about HIM than he knows about YOU!

Since I know much more about him than I know about the two of you combined, I would say that the Gentleman would be pissed that his name was being scattered about this Board... and some "association" was being asserted by a member of the Board to augment the member's fast fading credibility.

Just saying. Originally Posted by LexusLover

and be sure and tell gentleman john you read about him on a hooker board

The End

nice edit ... one way to keep yourself from looking like an old fool

i digress ...

inside info?

youre an idiot

it was about business and contributing to Cronie for reasons I cant and wont post on a hooker board

I think you may be losing your mind. I didn't edit anything. You're nuts. It could be tertiary syphilis; you should get checked.

"During WWII ... as in while the shooting was still going ... the Japanese and the Germans prowled around in the Gulf ... if I recall correctly (from reading of course) a Japanese sub got up into the Mississippi River.

Also, Veracruz, Mexico was a U-Boat base.... Mexico had a treaty with Germany during WWII.

How much Chinese exploration is on going in the Gulf while Obama plays "saving the environment"?

You are a little remiss on your facts. The legend is that a German sub got into the Mississippi River (and also into the Corpus Ship Channel). However, there is no evidence, including from German records, that one ever did. Japanese subs did not operate in Gulf at all - it's kind of a long stretch from Japan. And there was no U-Boat base in Vera Cruz during the war. In fact, Mexico fought in World War II on the side of the Allies. It was a small contribution, but they tried.

Also, the Chinese exploration in the Gulf hasn't occurred. There is a Chinese-built rig drilling in Cuban waters near the Keys, currently under contract to PdVSa, but no Chinese company has leases in the Gulf.

True. Nazi U-boats in the Mississippi River remain a legend though the U-166 was sent to the bottom only 45 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River. And no Japanese submarines are known to have entered the Gulf. Here is some interesting related trivia on the subject:

According to press reports, a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine recently traveled undetected in the Gulf of Mexico on a month-long patrol. This submarine activity reportedly occurred in June and July, simultaneously with incursions by Russian strategic bombers into restricted U.S. airspace.

Red October redux? John Cornyn demands answers from Pentagon on Russian sub in Gulf of Mexico (UPDATED)


This story hasn’t gotten much traction in the mainstream media, but Texas Sen. John Cornyn has been on it all week: Russian submarine activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
After receiving no satisfaction to earlier comments to the media, Cornyn wrote a letter today to Admiral Jonathan Greenert, the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations, demanding answers.
“The submarine patrol, taken together with the air incursions, seems to represent a more aggressive and destabilizing Russian military stance that could pose risks to our national security,” Cornyn wrote. “This is especially troubling given the drastic defense cuts sought by President Obama, which include reductions in funding for antisubmarine defense systems.”
The story has received relatively little attention since appearing in the conservative media outlet The Washington Free Beacon. According to the original report by longtime military correspondent Bill Gertz:

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores.
The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.

Cornyn, a San Antonio Republican who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, says the report is “especially troubling given the drastic defense cuts sought by President Obama, which include reductions in funding for antisubmarine defense systems.”
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Lieutenant Commander John Fage, dismissed Gertz’s report.
“We are aware of the reporting but we see nothing to indicate that it is true,” Fage told the Houston Chronicle.
Here’s the complete text of Sen. Cornyn’s letter:

Dear Admiral Greenert:
According to press reports, a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine recently traveled undetected in the Gulf of Mexico on a month-long patrol. This submarine activity reportedly occurred in June and July, simultaneously with incursions by Russian strategic bombers into restricted U.S. airspace.
If these reports are accurate, the repercussions are serious. It is my understanding that an Akula-class submarine can be armed with an array of weapons, including torpedoes and long-range cruise missiles, capable of destroying both U.S. nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers.
The submarine patrol, taken together with the air incursions, seems to represent a more aggressive and destabilizing Russian military stance that could pose risks to our national security. This is especially troubling given the drastic defense cuts sought by President Obama, which include reductions in funding for antisubmarine defense systems.
In light of the gravity of this situation, I request a detailed explanation of the facts surrounding these reports. Thank you for your faithful service to our nation, your dedication to our Armed Forces, and your commitment to ensuring the welfare of our men and women in uniform and their families.

Yeah, you’d probably enjoy it. It’s rumored to be an entertaining experience. A few years ago they made a movie about a ride on a Soviet submarine. It was called the K-19:"The Widowmaker", but the submarine was AKA “The Hiroshima”. It was a truly once in a life time experience for all who were onboard.
