A Russian nuclear powered submarine cruised in the Gulf of Mexico for about a month and was only spotted by the US Coast Guard after she had left the area, American media report, citing unnamed sources at the Pentagon.
The leak may have to do with the ongoing discussion of a pared down defense budget on Capitol Hill. The information about the Russian sub could make the lawmakers more generous towards the US Navy.
The submarine in question is a Shchuka B class cruiser armed with antisubmarine torpedoes and cruise missiles.
