So yes, it's just Hollywood...
Also i remember that Tupolev was launching the torpedo by crashing the button with his fist instead of pushing it, this has been removed in the DVD version of the movie, why can't they leave good sequences without cutting...
Not to mention the Alfas are as automated as possible. Do they even have men in the torpedo room?
