Soviet Task Force Off East Coast Near Cuba
A Soviet warship task force moves toward Cuba and could monitor Apollo 11 from Cape Kennedy next week. The group includes a guided missile cruiser and destroyers about 660 miles east of Savannah and two submarines 600 miles east of Jacksonville. The Navy says they are not built for electronic spying, though capable of picking up signals. The fleet may visit Cuba July 20 through July 27 to celebrate Soviet Navy Day, marking the first such visit near the U S. Noting the unusual proximity to the East Coast, officials call it a high profile display.
