USSR-CUBA: The first Soviet ballistic missile
submarine to visit a foreign country has arrived in
Cuba.
The submarine, a G-II class diesel unit, was
escorted into the Bay of Nipe by a Soviet Kotlin-
class destroyer on 29 April. This raises the cur-
rent Soviet naval presence in Cuba to six ships,
including the destroyer, a diesel attack submarine,
a submarine tender, and two tankers. The tender
recently arrived in Cuba, but the destroyer, ac-
companied by an F-class diesel attack submarine,
went to Cuba two months ago. The F-class was in
Mariel when the destroyer escorted the ballistic
missile submarine into the anchorage.
A G-II class submarine is designed to launch
three SS-N-5 ballistic missiles to a range of 700
nm from a submerged position.
