Here, something more (not what I read originally which was about surface ships not subs):
“There are Russian submarines operating–diesel ones from Tartus in East Med. plus unknown number of nukes elsewhere in Mediterranean–all of them with anti-shipping missiles. There is enough deterrent there. So, while the pitch of hysteria is extremely high in the US (and UK) I think Gerasimov and Dunford settled the issue yesterday between them–both sides (per military people) know the consequences and Gerasimov’s warning, however blunt, was towards US political operatives not military. ” from Sic Semper Tyrannis comments, here: http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2018/03/looks-like-mattis-is-the-grown-up-in-the-room.html#comment-6a00d8341c72e153ef01b7c9582fb6970b
