I can't actually remember anyone firing torpedoes in Red October (as the whole point was to avoid a shooting war) (although it might be in 'Debt of Honor' 'cos that was also a real shooting war) No there *was* a shot taken by the Alfa right towards the end, but the target (forget whether it was Krazny Oktyabr or Dallas - probably Oktyabr, as Ramius would have been the one to know about arming ranges) got inside the torpedo's arming range and the warhead didn't go off. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I completely forgot about that... Did the torp actually make physical contact w/ the soviet SSBN? I believe that the sovs still used double-hulls at the time but shouldn't physical contact have done some damage?
