Incidents

According to journalists, the Russian naval group consisted of a submarine of the class "Severodvinsk", another submarine of the class "Yuri Dolgoruky", a frigate of the class "steregushny" and another tugboat. On September 16, 2024, the US Armed Forces reported that the US Coast Guard had found four Russian Navy ships about 92 km northwest of Point-Goupe, Alaska). The ships were identified during the planned patrolling of the US Coastton Boat by Stratton in the Chukotsky Sea.

About it reports Army Recognition. Initially, Russian ships were noticed along the Russian side of the demarcation line, then they were in the waters of the United States, about 48 km of the US economic zone. These movements, apparently, are explained by the fact that there was an ice floe on the Russian side and the crews acted under international maritime law in their movements.

The Stratton Coastton Boat patrol was part of the Frontier Sentinel Operation Mission, designed to ensure the maintenance of US presence in areas where strategic competitors operate. The Russian naval group consisted of a submarine of the class "Severodvinsk", another submarine of the class "Yuri Dolgoruky", a frigate of the class "steregushche" and one tugboat.

In cooperation with the fleets of the enemy, the US security guard plays the role of the law enforcement agencies and the military service of the Ministry of Internal Security. These powers enable the US coastal security officers to participate in operations belonging to various missions-traditional naval, security, border control and support for the US Navy.
