- On Oct. 29, the U.S. Coast Guard detected the Kareliya, Russian Federation Navy Auxiliary General Intelligence vessel , about 15 nautical miles south of Oahu.

- A Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules from Air Station Barbers Point and the Cutter William Hart conducted an overflight and transit near the vessel, monitoring foreign military activity with partners and allies.
- U.S. Coast Guard officials said the vessel has lingered just outside U.S. territorial waters for at least two weeks, and a public affairs officer told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser it was in international waters off Hawaii island.
