Soviet Union seeks waterway off Japan for submarines
U S naval sources say the Soviet Union aims to use the Sea of Okhotsk as a hiding place for ballistic missile submarines and to control Suya Strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido. They may fortify the Kurile Islands and southern Islets to pressure access through Soya, Tsushima, and Tsugaru straits and possibly seize northern Hokkaido. The Sea of Okhotsk bottlenecks supply from Vladivostok to Petropavlovsk, an ice-free port crucial for most subs, though three quarters of the fleet are based at Vladivostok.
