You'll need to sync up your own copy of the episode in order to watch along with me. Open 2 windows, one with the reaction and one with the video, then arrange them how you see fit!
Watched on through norwegian streaming service. Sometimes it runs faster and to make it synced try to set the video to 0.95 speed. If it runs slower, set the video to 1.05 speed. Hope it helps! 💕
I use a watch along format in order to comply with copyright laws.

If you want another good Submarine movie You should watch “Down Periscope”

"Bear-F" is the "F" variant of the Tu-142 used for long range reconnaissance by the Soviet Navy. "Tu" stands for the manufacturer, the Tupolev Design Bureau - Cavitation. The blades of a propeller are hydrofoils (like a propeller on an airplane). When a ship's propeller is turning to push the ship, an area of low pressure is formed behind it. The faster the propeller turns, the faster the ship moves, and the lower the pressure behind the propeller. If the pressure gets too low, bubbles of water vapor form directly behind the propeller ("cavities" in the water). Once the low pressure area close to the propeller moves away, these bubbles collapse in the full water pressure. The collapse of these bubbles can be heard by underwater microphones. "Cavitating" means that bubbles are forming and collapsing in an ongoing process. Ships that have smaller propellers need to turn them faster in order to make a given speed, and so cavitate more, while larger propellers can turn more slowly for a given speed and so cavitate less. - When the frigate is flashing its light at the Red October when the men are getting off, the flashes are using Morse code to send a message one letter at a time, which is why Sam Neil is speaking slowly as each word is spelled out. - The subtitles went away when the Americans first met the Russians because they did not understand Russian. They came back when it was revealed that Jack Ryan understood some Russian. - In the book it is explained that Ramius' wife died during an emergency operation because the surgeon was drunk, but the surgeon was not punished because his father was a high ranking official in the Communist Party. They had no children, but treated all of the promising young officers that Ramius trained over the years as their sons, even having them in their home for dinner and holidays. All of the officers on Red October except the doctor and political officer (zampolit) were bachelors without families who were dissatisfied with Soviet tyranny and who had considered Ramius' wife as a second mother.

2024-10-15 05:39:29 +0000 UTCAbout the numbers (useful to know if you later watch more movies with ships, some are also used for airplanes): - Speed is measured in "Knots". 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour. 1 nautical mile = the length of an arc of 1 minute of 1 degree along the earth's surface at sea level = 1852 meters. - Heading = the direction that a ship or airplane is traveling measured on a compass. So 0 or 360 = due north, 90 = due east, 180 = due south, and 270 = due west. For clarity each individual number is spoken separately, so 2-7-0 = 270, 3-1-5 = 315, etc. - Bearing = the direction to another object (ship, airplane, torpedo, etc.) relative to your own vessel, with 360 = straight ahead, 90 = right, 180 = directly behind and 270 = left. - Diving planes are the horizontal "wings" on a submarine used to control depth. Orders to steer the ship are expressed in degrees of angle on the diving planes, not in rate of change (m/sec). So for example "20 degrees down angle on the diving planes". - Rudder is the vertical control surface used to steer right and left. Orders might be in degrees or alternatively "right full rudder" means maximum turn.

2024-10-15 04:59:10 +0000 UTCTom Clancy's story drew on elements of 2 real incidents: one with the Soviet submarine K-19, and the second with the Soviet submarine K-129, which was lost at sea for unknown reasons. In the 1970's the US tried to recover the sunken wreck of K-129 using the civilian ship Glomar Explorer from Hughes Industries. You might like to watch an interesting movie about the first incident: "K-19: the Widowmaker" (2003) Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson

2024-10-15 04:33:53 +0000 UTCGood reaction. Thanks. I've watched this movie several times. Sean Connery has such a presence. Alec Baldwin did well. So did Scott Glenn (who played the captain of the USS Dallas submarine). As many know, James Earl Jones (Admiral Greer) is the voice of Darth Vader. The movie was released in 1990, only a year after the Berlin Wall fell, so The Cold War was a very recent memory. The phrase "to defect" is a generational thing in being commonly used 1950s to 1980s but not so much after 1989. Many young people today are not familiar with the phrase "to defect." In contrast, in the 1970s and 1980s, the use of the phrase "to defect" or the word "defection" was a weekly or monthly occurrence in the news. Everyone knew what "to defect" meant. In 1990, I lived in Italy for 5 months for work. We (my ex-wife and I) crossed into Hungary by train from Austria In 1990 one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was the first week that Americans didn't need a visa to get into Hungary. Crossing the border was striking because Hungary seem so much more poor and drab than Austria. Of course, Budapest had beautiful architecture. In Budapest, we stayed with an old couple in their apartment for $7/night. Taxis were 50 cents.
