The Storozhevoy’s movement during the mutiny on 9 November 1975. No Soviet unit detected the Storozhevoy before she passed through the Irben Sound between the Bay of Riga and the Baltic Sea. However, the Swedish SIGINT service monitored her in real time ever since she left the River Daugava and set out into the Bay of Riga. The SIGINT service also monitored the Storozhevoy’s evasive action as Sablin attempted to outmanoeuvre the Tu-16K bombers and the guard ships of the KGB Border Troops. Her evasive action could easily be interpreted as attempts to reach Swedish territorial waters. There was certainly nothing in the Storozhevoy’s movements that suggested that Sablin intended to sail to Leningrad. To the Soviets, the suspicion that Sablin intended to defect to Sweden seemed confirmed by the Storozhevoy’s movements. The map is entirely based on the Swedish SIGINT service’s carefully plotted record of the Storozhevoy’s movements. (Map by Anderson Subtil)
