Russian Spy Ship Sinks Off Turkey Coast after Collision

by Naharnet Newsdesk

A Russian navy spy ship sank Thursday in the Black Sea off the coast of Turkey after hitting another vessel, but coastguards rescued all of its crew.

The Russian military said the Liman -- a former research ship re-fitted as an intelligence vessel -- had a hole torn in its hull after crashing at around 0900GMT about 40 kilometers from the Bosphorus Strait.

Turkish media said the second ship, a cargo boat carrying cattle, suffered minor damage and went on its way after the incident that occurred in poor visibility.

"The Russian ship sank after the collision. All of the crew on board were rescued," the Turkish coastguard official told AFP, requesting anonymity.

Their "fleets" usually include at least one tug.

Russia may be exhausting its military assets with all of its recent assertiveness.

Surely you jest. I thought the Glomar Explorer was scrapped a couple years ago.

Idaho.    Quite!     The CIA is going to bring that spy ship off the ocean floor....  The cover story is that the Former USNS Hughes is decommissioned!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
