PORT ARTHUR — Soviet
irships and submarines have
n spotted within 50 miles of
Texas coast within the last
[e months, military officials
“They could be on informa-
in-gathering missions, masked
fishing fleets monitoring air
ives, phone calls, mapping the
|rface or observing shipping
:nds,” Lt. Col. Richard Zucker
Id The Port Arthur News in a
port Tuesday.
Zucker, an official in Air
|rcelong-range planning, said
patrols are legal as long as
leign warships stay outside
3-mile U.S. territorial limits,
hlso said they might become
Ire frequent because of Soviet
ivity in Cuba.
“The Soviets have three clas
ses of submarines — Typhoon
Class, Yankee Class and Victor
Class. These subs are on con
stant patrol on our coastline. We
feel like they’re out of the Cuban
area,” said Zucker, who is sta
tioned in San Antonio.
A Navy spokesman said the
last time the Soviets were seen
near the Texas coast was be
tween Nov. 25, 1982, and Feb. 1,
1983. He said a missile cruiser,
missile frigate, diesel submarine
and replenishment ship made
the foray.
“We know they came into the
Gulf of Mexico and proceeded
up the coast, making a semicircle
at some point in the Gulf,” said
Lt. Aaron Long, a Navy spokes
man in Washington, D.G.
“They came within 50 miles
offshore from the Texas-
Louisiana border,” he said.
