Movie of the Week

The Hunt for Red October

Staring: Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn Directed by John McTiernan

“A new, technologically-superior Soviet sub, the Red October, is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Marko Ramius. The American government thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst has a different idea: he thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it--because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on!“

 Here is a pair of Soviet Era subs, A Project 949A Antey (top) & Project 971Shchukaand (bottom), I made these in the late 90s to depict 80s era cold war subs. The Antey (Nato name OscarII) is a cruise missile sub and the Shchuka (Nato name Akula) is an attack sub.

 If a battle group of these were ever unleashed on a surface fleet it would of been devastating. Good thing the US and Soviet Russia never went to war on the high seas during the latter part of the cold war. These were made for a water warfare game idea that was about just such a scenario.
