Seems Russian Submarines have returned to the US East Coast. The Story courtesy of the NY Times and the money quote courtesy of the US Navy.

“We’ve known where they were, and we’re not concerned about our ability to track the subs,” the official added. “We’re concerned just because they are there.”
