Thanks for posting! Gorgeous landscape ..

I read the US has 'inofficially' tested some smaller subs in swedish waters some time ago, but not as part of a NATO exercise (and sure no 688is).

Well, who knows? They might be up to some "Arctic Fiord testing" up here also.. And that 688 could just be a part of it

Could be part of increasing the visibility of the US Navy in the Barents.
The Roosevelt and Churchill stopped by Portsmouth last week, they've gone down into the Med though.

It could be that she's heading our way to take part in Joint Warrior 2015, it's due to start on the 11th and features 55 warships and submarines and 70 aircraft. The USS Anzio is on her way over too.
Apparently SAC (or whatever it's called now) has also been throwing the odd BUFF over the Arctic and North Sea regions in Exercise 'Polar Growl'.

It's all happening...

And I'm just sitting here with the odd Sea King or WAH-64 for company.

Dammit USAF why did you shut Bentwaters...

After you'd just refurbed the runway too...

I've blown the picture up and if those aren't windows on the front of the sail my money would be on it being an improved LA Class.
