Description
English: Russian spy ships. Probably – the vessel on the left is a fishing trawler (routinely converted to AGI (Intelligence Collection Vessel) by the Russians; and the vessel on the right is most likely another converted fishing vessel, although probably configured as an AGS (Auxiliary Survey Vessel). Both routinely provide surveillance of US Navy vessels – attempting to hide behind the inoccuous appearance as "fishing vessels."
