1. In the early 1977, Royal Navy's Swiftsure class leader HMS Swiftsure (S-126) shadowed Soviet Navy's Project 1143 Krechyet class aircraft carrier Kiev during the Northern Fleet's exercise Sever-77.

2. Swiftsure's Captain John Speller ordered the submarine to approach the carrier from behind, moving only a few knots faster than the carrier. As the Swiftsure approched close enough the crew
could only see massive waves created by Kiev's propellers.

3. Swiftsure slipped under the hull of the carrier and maintaing her speed she started to record the noise footprint of Kiev so that
she could be identified by the SOSUS network & other Western submarines.

I've been trying to figure out what the "Intelligence-Gathering Vessel" was that the @RoyalNavy (infuriatingly) wouldn't name or post pictures of that crossed the English Channel on Christmas Eve. Because of the timing, I strongly suspected it was the Viktor Leonov AGI. #SpyShip
I can now say, with a high degree of confidence, a Russian Navy AGI stopped in Trinidad & Tabago 2018-01-11 to restock, and they have likely left by now. I suspect, but cannot yet confirm, that AGI is the Viktor Leonov|Виктор Леонов, the Vishnya-class intelligence ship. #SpyShip
You may remember the collective freak-out when there was a Russian Navy intelligence gathering vessel off the US East Coast last Feb-Mar. That info was Secret(or higher)-classified Navy intelligence, leaked by the Pentagon, but there was no investigation or pursuit of the leaker.
