Russia has dispatched an intelligence gathering ship to the Caribbean Sea that is being closely monitored by the Pentagon, according to defense officials.<\/p>\n

The spy ship Viktor Leonov was spotted leaving Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago on Monday after five days on the island, and its current destination is unknown, said two officials familiar with reports of the intelligence gathering ship.<\/p>\n

“We’re monitoring [the ship]. It’s an annual thing,” said one of the officials. “We’ve seen it off Cape Canaveral, [Fla.], Kings Bay, [Ga.], Norfolk, [Va.], and New London, [Conn.].”<\/p>\n

Kings Bay is home to the Navy’s Submarine Group 10 that includes 10 nuclear missile submarines as well as special operations submarine forces.<\/p>\n

Norfolk is the location of the Navy’s major East Coast naval base and New London is also a major submarine base near Groton.<\/p>\n
