US Coast Guard responds to Russian military ship near waters off Oahu

The U.S. Coast Guard tracked the Russian intelligence ship Kareliya about 15 nautical miles from Oahu on Oct. 29 to ensure maritime security and homeland defense.

  • 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.
  • Given the 12-nautical-mile , the Kareliya has been observed about 15 nautical miles south of Oahu, outside territorial waters.
  • 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.
  • Routine visits by the Kareliya and other Russian spy ships position them as recurring monitoring targets for the Coast Guard, prompting ongoing partner-led maritime security efforts.
