Patrolling at an international flash point...

The U.S. Navy's USS Hartford surfaced near the Arctic Circle in 2016.

Nearly invisible to the enemy as it stalks the oceans depths, the USS Hartford, a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered submarine, provides the U.S. Navy with a lethal combination of stealth and firepower, Jim Sciutto and Zachary Cohen report on cnn.com.

Thousands of miles from home port, the Hartford cruises the Arctic Ocean -- the site of a potential flash point between Russia and the U.S., they wrote.
