NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Navy is investigating the death of a sailor on-board submarine, the USS Helena.
On Wednesday, a spokesman said the sailor was found dead on the boat while it was moored to the pier at Naval Station Norfolk on May 24.
The sailor has been identified as Sonar Technician Submarine 3rd Class Timothy Sanders.
The Navy issued the following statement:

The port call, which the U.S. says was planned, coincides with the arrival of Russian warships in Havana this week.

The U.S. military made the rare move Thursday of announcing that an attack submarine was visiting the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a Russian flotilla conducts military exercises in the Caribbean.
In a statement, U.S. Southern Command said that the USS Helena, a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, would stop at the base for “a routine port visit as it transits the U.S. Southern Command geographic area of responsibility.”
The visit, Southern Command said, was “previously planned,” but it coincides with Wednesday’s arrival of a Russian nuclear submarine and several frigates to the port of Havana for an official port call. The Russian fleet, which sailed close to the Florida coast as it approached Havana, will also make stops in Venezuela and conduct military exercises in the Caribbean.
The U.S. and Canada monitored the fleet’s journey to the communist island, with both militaries deploying several ships and a reconnaissance plane to track them, CNN reported. National security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday the visit is “something we watch closely, carefully” but noted that similar port calls have occurred in the past. He added there was no indication that the visit would see arms transfers between Cuba and Russia.
But the deployment has prompted outcries from Republicans, who say the Kremlin’s move shows that the Biden administration has a weak foreign policy. Russian leader Vladimir Putin has vowed to use “asymmetrical tactics against the West” in response to Washington and other allies’ decision to allow Kyiv to use Western-made munitions against targets in Russian territory.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Thursday on Fox News that “when you have a president who is weak, every bad guy on the globe is on the march and that is why we’re seeing, for example, Russian ships off Cuba with hypersonic weapons testing missiles just 90 miles off the coast of Florida.”

A US Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine arrived in Cuba on Thursday, the Pentagon revealed, putting the American combat vessel in the Caribbean nation at the same time as one of Russia's most formidable subs.
US Southern Command said the fast-attack submarine USS Helena is presently in Guantanamo Bay as part of a routine port visit while conducting a "global maritime security and national defense mission" through SOUTHCOM's area of responsibility.
"The vessel's location and transit were previously planned," the military wrote in a statement.

The Helena is a Los Angeles-class submarine, a class of nuclear-powered boats that make up the backbone of the Navy's sub force. It was commissioned in the late 1980s and can be armed with torpedos, Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, and Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

Meanwhile, more than 500 miles away on the other side of Cuba, in waters near Havana, is a flotilla of Russian naval vessels that arrived this week ahead of maritime exercises in the Caribbean.
One of these vessels is the Kazan, a Yasan-class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine.
US and other Western officials have long expressed concerns about Yasan-class subs like the Kazan because of their strike and stealth capabilities. These vessels are relatively new — the first in the class was commissioned just over 10 years ago — and they can be heavily armed

Defeat the submarines in close battle. With the advent of anti-ship cruise missile-armed submarines, the close battle can be anywhere from a few hundred yards to over 300 nautical miles. Supporting the force with ASW-capable aircraft, deploying missile countermeasures, jamming submarine communication and datalink capabilities, or providing intelligence of a missile launch must not be overlooked as meaningful contributions by the joint force. This weaves into the next thread.

'' Joe Biden’s Daily Pharmaceuticals Reportedly Revealed''
thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/joe-bidens-drug-cocktail-reportedly-revealed
Jun. 13, 2024 2:20 pm
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Joe Biden continues to decline mentally every day, although there are times when he suddenly gets a bolt of energy. This has led many to wonder what drugs Biden is on.
For example, just today, Biden was caught wandering off during a skydiving event at the G7 Summit before Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni retrieved the doddering fool.
Investigative journalist Paul Sperry says he has uncovered the whole cocktail of drugs Dementia Joe is allegedly ingesting to keep himself going.
The five drugs he listed in his X tweet are Eliquis, Crestor, Pepcid, Dymista, and Comirnaty.
DEVELOPING: Biden has been taking the following pharmaceuticals: Eliquis, Crestor, Pepcid, Dymista and Comirnaty
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) June 13, 2024
Eliquis is an anticoagulant medication used to treat and prevent blood clots and strokes. Back in 1988, Biden suffered a blood clot in his lung and was sent to Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment.
Crestor is a drug used to lower bad cholesterol levels while Pepcid helps control heartburn and stomach ulcers.
Dymista is a combination medication containing azelastine and fluticasone that is used to treat seasonal allergies. Biden has suffered from sinus issues throughout his life.
Arguably, the most interesting drugs on the list is Comirnaty. This drug is found in Pfizer’s COVID shot, suggesting that Biden is still addicted to the Fauci Ouchie.
Some X posters, though, were skeptical this was the complete list of drugs Biden was taking. Adderall was among the most popular mentions.
They left off cocaine and Adderall, right ?
— RayRayRooRoo77 (@RayRayRooRoo77) June 13, 2024
And Requip and Adderall.
— Lending Lies (@LendingLiesX) June 13, 2024
You forget adderall and crack.
— Jules (@julievriahi) June 13, 2024
Now list the other 5, including Adderrall, Aricept, B1, etc….
— 1970JetsFan (@Jets1970) June 13, 2024
The only way we will all know for sure if this is the complete list is if Biden submits to a drug test in public. But that will almost certainly never happen.
