Three U.S. Navy destroyers and one Royal Navy frigate are operating in the Barents Sea just off Russia’s northern coast.

This, NBC News mistakenly said, is “the first time U.S. warships have entered the area since the 1980s.” Stars and Stripes’s report gets it right, but its headline wrongly claimed, “U.S. Navy in Barents Sea for first time since 1980s, as Russian activities mount in the Arctic.”
