A Russian spy ship is conducting operations off the coast of the Eastern United States and has been engaged in unsafe activities near a U.S. nuclear missile submarine base, according to the Coast Guard.
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.

No one's making that claim, though?

But anyone's free to try to find evidence of the following for "our" side's ships doing the following that the Russian ship's being accused of:
“This unsafe operation includes not energizing running lights while in reduced visibility conditions, not responding to hails by commercial vessels attempting to coordinate safe passage and other erratic movements.”

I think the Russians have proved, both in the air and on the seas, that they are not interested in following the accepted practices of safe navigation.
