We knew it was there.

Have little doubt about that.

It's not as easy as you think.

The Gulf Stream hides subs very well, and modern (Akula) Russian subs are very quiet.

The kicker here is that Russia is incapable of consistently patrolling far from home. So they can do this every couple of years maybe. We, on the other hand, camp out next to Russia all the time.

Do Poseidons routinely patrol the gulf?

As I understand it, there's no sub that cannot be detected by them.
