Last year a Russian Udaloy class destroyer made a port call in Venezuela, didn't seem to make much in the way of headlines.

It was the Kirov Pyotr Velikiy and the Udaloy II Admiral Chabanenko cruising to the Caribbean in the fall of 2008 when that port call was made.

Here is the US reaction to that:

That is the one, according to reports there was a fight between a Russian and Venezuelan naval commander aboard the Russian flagship that resulted in some bad relations and perhaps canceled weapon orders between those two countries.

I wonder how many Russian submersibles are lying off the US east and west coasts right now?

Of course they're not visible though are they
