00:00A Russian military intelligence ship prowled perilously close to Hawaii's shores last month,

00:23prompting heightened U.S. Coast Guard activity to ensure homeland security,

00:27officials revealed Thursday.

00:30The Karalea, a Vishnuya-class intelligence vessel,

00:33was detected operating roughly 15 nautical miles south of Oahu on October 29,

00:39according to a Coast Guard statement.

00:43Responding swiftly, the U.S. Coast Guard dispatched an HC-130 Hercules aircraft

00:48from Air Station Barbers Point and the cutter William Hart WPC-1134 to monitor the Russian ship.

00:55Acting in accordance with international law, our personnel are closely observing the vessel's activities near U.S. territorial waters

01:04to provide maritime security for U.S. vessels operating in the area, the release said.

01:09Capt. Bob Matthew Chong, Chief of Response for the Coast Guard's Oceania District, emphasized the routine nature of these operations.

01:18The U.S. Coast Guard routinely monitors maritime activity around the Hawaiian islands and throughout the Pacific

01:26to ensure the safety and security of U.S. waters, he stated.

01:32The Vishnuya-class ships, constructed for the Soviet Navy in the 1980s, remain active in the Russian fleet,

01:38with seven vessels still operational, according to the U.S. Army website.

01:44These purpose-built intelligence ships are equipped with an extensive array of sensors designed for signals intelligence gathering,

01:51and data can be transmitted back to Russian shore facilities via satellite link antennas.

01:57Though their primary function is surveillance, they carry defensive armaments including two AK-630 close-in weapon systems

02:05and SAN-8 surface-to-air missile launchers for last-resort self-defense.
