Soviet Tugboat Seen Off Hawaii Near Submarine Site
A Russian tugboat was reported off Hawaii in the Pacific near the area where a Soviet submarine sank in 1968. Officials say the mission is unknown and the vessel stayed in international waters within about 40 miles of Oahu. The tug, often used for intelligence missions, appears alone in the vicinity of the submarine wreck and the Giomar Explorer recovery site.
