The Russian ship, Viktor Leonov, has been shadowed periodically off the coast for years and is also suspected of spying on undersea Internet cables in addition to U.S. military bases.
On Sunday, the Coast Guard in Charleston, SC issued a maritime safety information bulletin about the Leonov, described as a Russian AGI, or auxiliary general intelligence ship.
