The Hunt for Red October Page #3

---

Thank you, sir.

Holding steady on 310.

- Have you got a make on it?

- The computer is chewing on it.

It sounds like a Typhoon.

- Did I miss something on the boards?

- Sub plant hasn't said anything.

- How many Typhoons are listed?

- Six

Call this guy Typhoon 7.

Work in a little closer.

- Won't he hear us?

- Not if we stay in his baffles.

Come in behind his propeller

and he's deaf as a post.

- Any sonar contacts?

- No, the sonar is clear.

- Do we have any surface contacts?

- No, the scope is clear.

Good. Then it's time I explain

our orders to the crew.

Comrades, this is your captain.

It is an honour to speak to you-

- while sailing in our motherland's

most recent achievement

Once more,

we play our dangerous game.

A game of chess, against our old

adversary, the American Navy.

For 40 years your fathers before you,

you played this game well

But today the game is different

We have the advantage

It reminds me of the heady days

of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin.

The world trembled

at the sound of our rockets.

It will tremble again

at the sound of our silence.

The order is:
Engage the silent drive.

Ballast control, open outer doors.

Engage caterpillar

and secure main engines.

Doors opening.

Our own fleet doesn't know

our full potential.

They will test us

But they will embarrass themselves

We'll leave our fleet behind

We will pass through

the American patrols.

We'll lay off their largest city

and listen to their rock and roll. -

- while we conduct missile drills.

When we are finished, the only

sound they will hear is our laughter.

Then we will sail to Havana

for sunshine and comradeship

- Cryogenic plant coming on line.

- A great day. We sail into history.

Caterpillar engaging.

Caterpillar engaging.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

Full rudder left.

Navigator, new course: 250.

Course:
250.

Sonar contact. Port quarter.

- American, Los Angeles class.

- American!

Course:
310.

- Is the American turning to follow us?

- No, he is continuing on his course.

- He is continuing north-west.

- He can't hear us.

And the singing?

Let them sing.

What are you talking about

Check again.

The sonar is working.

The Russian disappeared.

One minute he was steady,

then he was gone.

- And I thought I heard...

- Heard what?

I thought I heard singing, sir.

- Singing?

- Yes, sir.

Good morning sir.

Good morning sir.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, sir.

I hope you had a lovely evening.

A little chilly this morning.

There's a letter from Marko Ramius.

Marko!

Yes?

No, this is Dr Ryan.

- What happened?

- This is no longer research.

I got a line on those doors.

You know what they are?
