National Interest: US Navy Prepares for Confrontation with Russia in the Atlantic




According to the publication, Admiral John Richardson, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Naval Forces, recently stated that Russian submarines had been observed in the North Atlantic, which had not been observed for the last 25 years. Vice-Admiral Charles Richard, who holds the post of head of the submarine fleet of the United States, spoke in the same vein. He said that the submarine forces of the United States must be ready to conduct combat operations, since "the people of America are waiting and demanding victory."

Recall that in May of this year, the command of the US Navy announced the revival of the second fleet of the US Navy, which will be responsible for the east coast of the United States and the North Atlantic. The main task of the newly created fleet will be to confront the "territorial claims of Moscow." Despite the threat from the Chinese submarines, whose number should increase by 2020, the US Navy is more concerned about the actions of the Russian fleet, as the newspaper writes, by 70 units.

Earlier, Admiral of the US Navy, James Foggo, said that the tension in relations between Russia and the United States was growing and described it as
"the fourth battle for the Atlantic", meaning by the first three two world and cold wars.

          I watched the film "Raise the Periscope" with creative dubbing! Cool!
          In the middle of the formation, a sailor, not a white one who, for some reason, was bored!
          These are not our submariners who bathe in the ice and gnaw at the ice !!!!

        It is necessary to fork out, it is a fact ... to collect pine from the pine forest, it will not work out the polar fleet, but a snack for white medics or a circus on the road!

      Yes, we have no reason to take off.
      Grazing there, of course, doesn’t make sense, but to glance from space at Yusovskoye bustle - why not?
      Only at times it will be a shame :: such a gorgeous target and is still in the water state ...
      The mess. ;-))

    Correctly worried, Mr. Admiral. Why, there is something to be afraid of. If you consider that with your fence the whole world is fenced, on the watchmen all the moshna will be shaken. Oh dear it’s a pleasure to confront someone who is not going to attack.

    smile With what pathos is said that: "The people of America are waiting and demanding victory"! Well, okay, I'm thinking, And when will the American people say to the Congress: "Maybe the budget will be enough to spend on the mythical Russian threat"? Yes, you see, not in this life .. smile

    One second fleet will not be enough. At least an icebreaker fleet is needed. While it is only with us, and with teeth.

    And the submarines are not afraid, in the northern seas, which they have shown more than once already. By the way. yesterday it was 18 years since the sinking of the Kursk nuclear submarine. Everlasting memory.

    "the people of America are waiting and demanding victory."
    Over whom, and most importantly did not think at what cost? Exclusivity completely erodes the brain, leaving only pouting cheeks and the desire to command the whole world. The Roman Empire, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Hitler also strove for this, but finished ... So the next America.
