If you read the novel, it, of course, goes deeper and explains more. For instance: - Natalia Ramius, the wife of Captain Ramius, died in the novel due to her Soviet doctor being drunk and messing up a medication that, along with some other easily correctable mistakes, killed her. That was one reason Ramius decided to defect. - One common saying among Soviet workers was, "As long as they pretend to pay me, I will pretend to work." This ambivalence led a mailman to carelessly flick a piece of mail toward its intended mail chute. It missed, landing on the floor. The Soviet mailman didn't notice; if he had, he most likely wouldn't have even cared. That piece of mail, the letter we saw at the beginning from Ramius to Padorin announcing Ramius' intention to defect, was, therefore, a day late. Had it arrived "on time," the Red October might not have survived. - Jones' rank was a Sonarman Third Class. After his success in locating the Red October, Captain Mancuso promoted him on the spot with these words: "Jonesey, you just made Sonarman First Class." These are just a few of many. The book is a really good read if you have the time.

The tidbit that comes along later is the hulk of Red October, after being thoroughly examined and all its secrets ferreted out, was towed back out to the spot it supposedly sank, and scuttled just like the Soviets believed it had been. Just in case Soviet DSRVs ever examined the area, they would find the remains of Red October, where they were expected to be.

I was serving in the U.S. Navy as a weaponeer aboard a U.S. ballistic missile sub when this movie came out. On the night the movie premiered, the multiplex movie theater nearest our base made an offer stating that if you showed up uniform, you got in free. As a result, I saw the premier of "Hunt for Red October" in an auditorium jam packed with several hundred fellow sailors. Needless to say; the audience reaction was ... 'unique'. And very, *very* enthusiastic. In the scene when *Dallas* emergency blew to the surface to evade the Russian torp, I think you could have heard the audience reaction from several blocks away (at the very least.) If you enjoy this kind of movie, may I also *strongly* recommend "Crimson Tide" staring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. "Hunt" is good, high-action fare but there are a few elements that are ... well ... 'fiction for the purpose of plot advancement.' "Crimson Tide" is just as much action and adventure but it's also *terrifyingly* plausible and very, very well researched.

FYI: There’s static when boarding a submarine which is negatively charged, because it’s in the water and the earth is negatively charged. The helicopter with its rotating blades create a positive charge, so if the guy retrieving the person being dropped from helicopter touches him directly, he completes the current connection, and they will get shocked, like lightning. I may be explaining it wrong but that’s my understanding.

For the most part that is correct. Friction between insulators and conductor actually rubs electrons off a surface (this is how the classic grade school science demonstration of glass rod and wool experiment works, or your feet rubbing on a carpet). This is what static electricity is, the electrons being rubbed off one surface onto another. The helicopter blades are moving very quickly through the air, generating a lot of friction. The air rips electrons off the helicopter. Since the helicopter isn't touching anything these charges just keep building up. When Ryan was hanging in rainy weather out with saltwater...he is basically the key on the end of the kite string. If they don't get that ground cable onto the line all that electricity will jump between the first contact. They passed just a little to close to each other and it electrocuted the chief.

He *_has to_* aim a gun at other people and pull the trigger while filming some movies. It's his *_job_* to do so. The fault was not making sure that the gun was indeed loaded with blanks, and yeah, for that, he deserves _some_ part of the blame - but he's also just a human who falls into patterns and takes little shortcuts here and there, especially when working with people who have proven to be reliable over and over. There are two principles in our traffic law here in Germany that come to mind - "Vertrauensgrundsatz" and "Misstrauensgrundsatz", which translate into "principle of trust" and "principle of mistrust". When you're driving, you may in the vast majority of situations trust that other people will follow the traffic rules (the "principle of trust"), with some exceptions such as children and old people, where the opposite applies, you can _not_ trust them to follow the rules (children don't necessarily know the rules, have too little experience to judge certain situations, ..., old people can be forgetful, confused, even suffering from dementia...), so you have to be more careful and always expect mistakes, which is the "principle of mistrust". To bring this whole thing back to the topic at hand - I'd say when you work all the damn time with professionals whose _job_ is to hand you a safe gun, something akin to that "principle of trust" should apply. Yes, you're still at fault when something does happen, but only partially, and only to a small part. The main guilt lies with the person whose job it was to hand him a safe gun.

The political officer, Putin, is played by Colin Firths brother Peter. Each surface ship and sub has a unique sonar "signature", and attack subs have a computerised library of every signature. In 1977 the USSR launched a new aircraft carrier, the Kiev, when she first ventured out of Soviet waters, Royal Navy submarine HMS Swiftsure was tasked with getting her signature for the library, and possibly a close-up look at the underneath of her. After hours of cat and mouse maneuvers Swiftsure was directly underneath Kiev, and was photographing the bottom of her from a distance of 10ft. The most impressive part was, the whole time Kiev and her entire battle group were conducing anti-submarine detection drills.

One story is like the one you posted, only a US sub had been hanging out underneath the USS Enterprise during an exercise. Another story: there was a sailor in the engineering spaces of USS Enterprise. This sailor was into Led Zeppelin in a big way. He had a BIG boombox and played Led Zep at top volume. An entire sonar class in San Diego was listening to Led Zep as the USS Enterprise approached Pearl Harbor.

In the Soviet Navy, political officers accompanied commanding officers on missions. Their job was to ensure things were done following Soviet ideology, and they could overrule the captain's orders if they chose. That's why Sean Connery's character had to murder the political officer at the start. Tom Clancy's novel is based on an incident in Soviet Navy history where the enlisted crew tried to sail their ship to Norway. The crew took a chance because all the officers were ashore. Unfortunately, they failed and were captured.

Tom Clancy wrote and published THFRO, his first book, as a late-middle-age insurance salesmen in 1984. It was originally published by the small Naval Institute Press, and first sold primarily to Navy folks, but word of mouth was so strong that he soon had a much bigger publishing deal. Clancy spent the next 25 years topping the Best Seller's list with his series of Jack Ryan-related books until his death in 2017, having sold well over 100 million books. He also wrote a number of non-fiction technical books on various military weapons systems (tanks, ships, aircraft) based on his own research. There were also a number of "Clancy-branded" books by ghost-writers, and of course a long series of Clancy-inspired video games by Ubisoft, starting with Rainbow Six and including the Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell game series. Finally, I believe 6 of his novels have been made into movies, though only the first three (Red October, and the two Harrison Ford movies, Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger) were really faithful to the books. Clancy is credited with creating the "techno-thriller" and was the best-selling author in the 1980s and 1990s, and was only surpassed in the 2000s by JK Rawlings. For getting such a late start as an author, Clancy was an absolute powerhouse, and he knew how to keep the reader on the edge of their seat until the very last page.

13:10 - So this is a drydock. Basically a large floating workbay for boats. The drydock are generally fitted with big ballast tanks that are filled with air or water (and sometimes they contain big doors on the end). When they want to get the boat in or out of the drydock they flood the ballast tanks and open ports letting water in. They entire bay sinks, and then the boat can float out. This is mainly used for repairing and serving existing vessels. Usually in construction they are built in a shipyard which has a big ramp on one side. The boats are pretty much on large dollies that will descend down the ramp and drop the boat in the water. If you travel up in New England you can see the old decommissioned Naval Shipyards and the still active one in Maine. Seeing a shipyard dump a ship in the water is quite the sight....it makes a very big wave.

I believe you're mistaken about them filming IN an actual American sub. The making-of featurette on the DVD and blu-ray shows that sets of both the Dallas bridge and Red October bridge were built in huge gimbaled rigs that could tilt in real-time side-to-side and fore-and-aft by over 30 degrees. Many of the cast members actually got seasick filming in them. I believe the production designers got to tour actual boats and they did a phenomenal job making the sets look so realistic. However, all of the exterior shots (on the surface) used actual US Navy boats. The underwater shots were ship models in a smoky miniature set, with one of he earliest uses of CGI to create the flotsam and jetsam that fly past the camera to ad some extra depth and realism.

You caught Gates McFadden from TNG, but you missed a notable guest star from there. The man who plays the 2nd in command on the aircraft carrier Enterprise is the same actor who portrays Moriarty on TNG. The "Big D" is a nickname for the USS Dallas. Fun fact, both aircraft carriers named Enterprise (CV-6 & CV-65N) were nicknamed "The Big E".

The system Petty Officer Jones (Jonesy) uses in an attempt to identify the submarine (Red October) when first encountered, called "SAPS" (Signal Analysis Processing System), is a real system (with a different name) developed by Motorola for the U.S. Navy, and Top Secret at the time the original novel was written. This is one of many things in his novels that Tom Clancy should not have known about and for which he was apparently investigated by one or more departments of the U.S. government. On another note, if you want to get a really good look into the current, and immediate future of the, Russia/Ukraine situation, and where it could lead, read (there is no movie) Red Storm Rising.

A great entry into the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series. Look forward to hopefully the Harrison Ford ones. One of the reasons the USS Dallas was better equipped to evade torpedoes than the Red October is that it is a much smaller more agile submarine. The Subs are essentially two very different classes. The large missile boats (Boomers) are giant vessels designed to carry as many warheads as possible and stay underwater as long as possible. They essentially just patrol or sit in the ocean in strategic positions for months at a time. Their entire mission is to provide a nuclear weapon launch point near the enemy in a place where noone on land truly knows where they are (they rarely report in, and when they do only 1 or 2 people are privileged to know that information). The Dallas is a Hunter/Killer, a fast-attack submarine that is designed primarily to find and attack other submarines and vessels. They are much smaller, but much faster. In the cold war this was the constant game at play under the water. The HKs would go search for the other submarines, and the boomers would go hide and practice missile drills. And this would continue over and over and over. Each side trying to show how they could best the other at any given moment.

Remember, this is during the Cold War, when the US & Soviet Union were "rattling sabers" at each other, with nukes aimed at each other. Ramius is defecting. A live Political Officer would do his duty & remove the traitor Ramius from duty. So the loyal Soviet (Political Officer) had to die. But not everyone is in on his plan. The crew are loyal Soviets. So, how do you persuade crew to leave their ship? This movie was made after a Russian sub went missing, so Tom Clancy's story was tweaked to tie into the real event.

"We're cavitating! He can hear us!!" "Okay Ryan we just unzipped our fly..." When a submarine goes in reverse, especially while traveling forward (direction changes are delayed because water) it stirs up the water and creates bubbles... like stirring your coffee one way quickly andnthen suddenly stirring it in reverse. Those bubbles collapse under the water pressure especially when they encounter the proppellers that are chopping through them. The result is like vigorous applause... the sudden collpasing of thousands of bubbles creates vibrations in the metal propellers and makes a shrieking noise... like air in your pipes kind of noise.... the creation of the bubbles is called cavitation..as in creating cavities.... and no matter if the Dallas is hidden behind the October... its like someone sneaking up behind you and shouting, "HEY!!" You're gonna know someone's there even if you dont know who. By delaying their "all stop" to stop the engines so they drift but slower, in order to ask "which way is he turning?", Mancuso kind of forced them to HAVE to hit the breaks by going reverse. But also he wanted to announce his presence to Ramius.

Captain Tupolev's submarine, an "attack" sub like Dallas, is part of a Sovet class called Alfa. They are extremely fast underwater, but it is thought some of that speed is a result of reducing the boat's mass by reducing the shielding keeping the crew safe from the radiation of the nuclear reactor. Note - the Soviets have another class of attack sub they call Shchuka, which NATO code-named Akula. Then the Soviets built the missile boats like Red October. And perhaps in a poke at NATO, called these way-bigger vessels Akula. NATO called them Typhoons.

They're never going to get rid of every MRV-capable missile because multiple warheads are the only viable means for a strategic counterforce sortie against an enemy's hardened targets.

@@BogeyTheBear There's also the anti-anti-ballistic-missile defences considerations. One warhead, traveling more-or-less on a ballistic trajectory, is relatively easy to intercept. Dozens or hundreds of MIRVs, some empty decoys, are a nightmare to intercept before they reach their detonation points, especially when mixed with other decoy munitions. Putin is finding this out the hard way, as Ukraine has mastered cloaking Storm Shadow or HIMARS strikes in clouds of cheap Grad rockets and/or other less-precise munitions and/or the virtually-magic American MALD drones. This tactic creates a cloud of targets on the radars of AA units, who have mere seconds to figure-out which blips are the real danger before the opportunity to intercept is gone.

This was a good movie version of the novel. Tom Clancy is hard to make movies from because I don't think the man ever wrote a novel with less than 900 pages and 4+ main characters running in as many separate intertwined story arcs. Every adaptation to film suffers from the loss of many plot elements and the script writers changing key elements to compress for time and handle the omissions of so much of the source story. Every book needs a remake in a miniseries format to really do those books justice.

That's a pretty common problem when doing movie adaptations of books, but, yes, Clancy's books are significantly above average in page count. Still, the first three movies did a surprisingly good job of covering the key points of the stories. The ones after that, not so much, and Without Remorse, which was specifically billed as "Tom Clancy's Without Remorse" barely kept 5% of Clancy's original story. It wasn't a terrible movie or anything, but it was definitely NOT >Tom Clancy's< Without Remorse - it was some Hollywood writer's "Without Remorse." I only consider the first 3 movies to be "canon."

The drive technology is based on controlling the direction a liquid flows using electrical current. The "doors" pull water in and shoot it out the back, like a jet engine. Since there's no mechanical parts, there is no noise. The downside to this form of movement is the water gets ionized passing through the engine. Using the Star Trek comparison, the sub leaves an ion trail that can be detected and tracked.

It failed, but the dream was admirable.

"What are the countermeasures?" With aircraft there are 2 kinds: flares qhich provide a heat signature hotter than the target's engine thus distracting a heat seeking missle, or chaff which is strips of foil which disrupt the active radar guidance of radar guided missiles. With submarines the countermeasure is a.device which causes a massive amount of bubbles which mask other sound... like dropping a box of alkaseltzers into your bathwater. This disrupts the sonar tracking as the forward scanning sonar pings bounce off the myriad of bubbles and all the passive sonar hears is fizzing. However if the torpedo in its trajectory goes through and beyond the bubble cloud, it may then reacquire its intended target. "RIGHT FULL RUDDER, REVERSE STARBOARD ENGINE!" not only were they turning hard right, they were making the right side go backwards making them spin even tighter (normally both engines pripel in the same direction buton a dual engine like the Red October the engines can work independently)... however for a ship that big... its like the Titanic: a hard turn, even ehanced with sharp throttle differentials, is still slow as hell.

43:30 think of the helicopter's blades as several balloons and the air in a thunderstorm as a giant woolly jumper. As the blades whip through the air they generate friction and pick up electrical charge, the metal of the helicopter stores it as it builds up, and because the whole thing is airbourne there is no way for that charge to ground itself and discharge. If the gap from air to ground becomes small enough in proportion to the stored electrical potential, it can then jump the gap in a mini lightning strike. Ideally you'd dip the winch cable into the ocean a few feet to ensure the aircraft is grounded before trying to have it picked up by the ship's crew. Don't know if it's still the same now, but around 20 years ago when I was learning to sail you could call up the Coast Guard stations around Portsmouth/Southampton in the UK and ask if they wanted to do a winch practice; it's good to know how the process works and they gotta practice on someone...

Static electricity because helicopters have lots of moving parts rubbing against each other, and are insulated from the ground whilst in flight. So they can build up a significant static charge with respect to ground, and this can be a danger when using the winch, either to a person on the end of the line or to someone on the ground who grabs the line. That's why it's important to let the end of the line touch ground first without a person in between.
