Brief info:

Red October (Russian: Красный Октябрь, "Krasniy Oktyabr" ) is a fictitious Typhoon class submarine in the Tom Clancy novel The Hunt for Red October and the movie which followed. She was built with a revolutionary stealth propulsion system called a "caterpillar drive", which is described as a hydrojet system in the book. In the movie however, it is shown as being a magnetohydrodynamic drive. Captain First Rank Marko Aleksandrovich Ramius was the last commanding officer of Red October.

According to the story The Hunt for Red October (Tom Clancy), in late 1984 Ramius and his command crew took the Red October out on exercises. Once at sea Ramius murdered the political officer and then turned the ship towards the United States. Despite efforts by the Soviet Navy, Red October was able to reach USS Dallas and the United States was able to engage in a complicated rescue plan. Along for the ride on the Dallas, and later on the Red October, is a part-time CIA analyst named Jack Ryan, who read Ramius' intent and suggested setting up the rendezvous. The rescue plan resulted in the Russian Navy believing the ship had been destroyed. Though her survival was discovered by a soviet attack submarine the October was able to destroy it before her continued existence became known.

Most of the officers defected with Ramius but the commander of the Dallas concealed the defection from the rest of the crew, who were repatriated in due course. The sub was gutted by the U.S. Navy to discern its secrets. Sometime between a year and eighteen months later the remains of the ship were sunk in a deep ocean trench. The technology then seems to disappear, although there are later references in some other books, including The Sum of All Fears. In reality, if a caterpillar-drive system had been analyzed in 1984, a copy of it (with the addition of Western alloy and reactor technology) would probably have appeared on American and British submarines. A variant of the magnetohydrodynamic drive stated in the movie has been tested, but proved too inefficient and cumbersome to be used as an effective means of a propulsion system on a ship. This type of propulsion system also would not be enclosed in a duct/pipe in the "real world".

In the series of books to come by Tom Clancy, the Red October adventure proved useful to Ryan's career in later books by providing the lever with which to force a threatening KGB Secretary to defect to the US against his will, ending the possibility of a Kremlin coup against a politically centrist Soviet government.

Years later the truth of these events came to light when political opponents of then President John Ryan, revealed his part in the affair. By this time the Soviet Union had collapsed and the prevailing opinion in Moscow seems to have been "Well Done", though they put the Russian hierarchy in a political bind vis-a-vis cooperation with the United States at a critical point.

In the story, Red October is the seventh Typhoon class hull built for the Soviet Navy; the real seventh boat, hull number TK-210, was laid down in the late 1980s, canceled before it could have been commissioned and scrapped in 1990. None of the real Typhoon class submarines had 26 missile tubes or were considerably larger than the other Typhoon class SSBN's in the Russian Navy. No Soviet submarines were officially named Red October. There are no submarines in existence that have used a form of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion.

As an inside joke on it's name, Red October was added as a member of Red Squadron, with Redd Foxx and Red Buttons in Family Guy's Star Wars parody, Blue Harvest. pics ahs purchasing, pay instantly through !<FONT face=Verdana><IMG title="Pay me securely with any major credit card through !" height=33 alt="Pay me securely with any major credit card through !" src="://images./images/lgo/logo3v.gif" width=88 align=middle><FONT face=Verdana><IMG alt=Visa src="://images./images/icon_visa.gif" border=0> <IMG alt=MasterCard border=0> <IMG alt=Discover border=0> <IMG alt="American Express" src="://images./images/icon_amex.gif" border=0> <IMG alt=eCheck src="://images./images/icon_echeck.gif" align="center">
