The recent arrival of Russian warships in Cuba has stirred international attention, with Cuban locals and tourists getting a rare up-close view of the naval vessels. Amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, experts assure that the situation does not mirror the Cuban Missile Crisis of the past. The presence of the Russian vessels, including the advanced guided-missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov, has raised tensions between Russia and the United States.

As the Russian warships made headlines, the US responded by sending a fast-attack submarine to Guantanamo Bay, showcasing a strategic show of force. Simultaneously, a Canadian navy patrol ship arrived in Havana, highlighting the global interest in the unfolding naval encounters. The queues of curious Cubans waiting for hours to visit the Russian naval vessel embody the Cold War vibes resurfacing in sweltering Havana.

The naval exchange between Russia, the US, and Canada in Cuban waters underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics at play. The sight of multiple foreign warships docking in Cuba signals a symbolic power play and a display of naval prowess from different nations. While the situation remains tense, it also hints at a subtle dance of diplomacy amidst rising global tensions.

In a surprising turn of events, it is revealed that the US Navy submarine, the USS Helena, and the Canadian navy patrol ship made their way to Cuba in quick succession after the Russian warships' docking. This rapid response reflects the rapid mobilization capabilities of these naval forces. The synchronized presence of these submarines and warships in Cuban waters paints a vivid picture of the intense rivalries and strategic maneuvers unfolding in the region.
