Russia’s Suspected Internet Cable Spy Ship Appears Off Americas

Russia’s Suspected Internet Cable Spy Ship Appears Off Americas: A controversial spy ship has arrived in the Americas, open source intelligence indicates. According to position tracking data, the Russian Navy's Yantar left her home port about a month ago, and has not been visible on open sources until suddenly appearing in the Caribbean on Friday. That she appeared on ship trackers so suddenly is unusual.

She has gained attention in the past for hovering in the vicinity of the undersea cables which connect the world. Called Submarine Communications Cables (SCC), these crisscross the world's oceans carrying Internet traffic and military communications.
