The Russian spy ship Viktor Leonov is currently “loitering” off the
coast of Norfolk, Va., home to the largest naval base in the world, two
U.S. officials tell Fox News.
As of Friday morning, the Russian spy ship is slowly
patrolling only 17 nautical miles -- roughly 19 miles -- from land,
according to officials. United States territorial waters extend 12
nautical miles from shore.
Fox News was first to report the sighting of the Russian spy ship off the coast of Delaware on Tuesday.
The Victor Leonov, armed with an array of
intelligence gathering equipment used to intercept communications and
analyze U.S. Navy sonar capability, later traveled within 30 miles off
the Connecticut coast near a submarine base earlier this week.
“It’s lawful [and] similar to operations we do around the world,” Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters Friday.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
