"That reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin, when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Well, they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is - engage the silent drive!"
Feel free to pick whichever Red October reference that works for you;*Red October. Red October. Halt and stay where you are. Do not attempt to submerge or you will be fired upon... *They're trying to defect.*Mr. Ambassador, you have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic right now. Your aircraft has dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. Now, shall we dispense with the bull?*I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. *Well then, in winter I will live in... Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives. *We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills. *What's he going to do, sail into New York, pop the hatch, and say "Here I am"? *This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. *Conn, sonar! Crazy Ivan! *The hard part about playing chicken is knowin' when to flinch. *A great day comrades, we sail into history! *Welcome to the New World, Captain.

"That would be a Soviet Typhoon Class Nuclear Submarine," wrote NBCPhiladelphia commenter TomM. It's not a Typhoon class: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_class_submarine" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_class_submari ...</a>

Sorry for the double post but I read the NYT article above and saw they referenced the Akula class. And again you can see it's nothing like the Akula class. It has no conning tower. <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akula_class_submarine" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akula_class_submarine</a>

They're looking for the Red October. Someone call Alec Baldwin.
