The United States Southern Command said the sub's trip was 'previously planned.'
A U.S. Navy fast-attack submarine arrived in Cuba's Guantanamo Bay on Thursday, hard on the heels of a Russian flotilla's arrival in Havana 24 hours earlier.The USS Helena, one of around two dozen Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered, conventionally armed boats, was making 'a routine port visit...while conducting its global maritime security and national defense mission,' the U.S. Southern Command said in a statement on social media.
Given the sub's arrival time, it is conceivable that it traveled the same waters used by the Russian Northern Fleet ships.'The vessel's location and transit were previously planned,' SOUTHCOM's statement said.A U.S. defense official told Newsweek this week that American and Canadian naval and air forces had been 'actively monitoring' the Russian ships as they crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
