With tensions rising between America, North Korea and Russia (via Syria), there are fears that a North Korean or Russian submarine is loitering off the United States’ West Coast, after unusual activity by a gathering of anti-submarine U.S. military crafts off the coast of San Diego, California.

The gathering of several submarine-spotting planes, all in the same spot of the Californian coast has raised speculation that the U.S. Navy has spotted a foreign sub.California

SHTFplan.com reports:

Anti-submarine aircraft have been loitering over the same area off the California coast for hours, which is fueling speculation that a Russian – or a North Korean – submarine was spotted in the area.

While the report of a foreign vessel is unconfirmed at this point, the military patrol is apparently not part of a routine exercise due to the number of aircraft hovering over the same area and the late hours of operation.

The patrol includes multiple low-flying aircraft including a Navy EP-3E Aries II, which is used for electronic surveillance, a Navy P-3C Orion, which is used for submarine spotting, and a Boeing P-8 Poseidon used for anti-submarine warfare.

Additionally, a Royal Canadian CP-140 Orion, also known for submarine spotting, joined the search.
