No one gave you or the judges permission to use the jet, boy, :stare: and the chalet is being rented out to the Victoria's Secret people until after Feb 14, you don't go near us, the chalet, I mean...

Ahem, ok, well, let's get serious here, people. As Conan stated, the full and complete answer was: Capt.Ramius is known to make a Crazy Ivan to starboard in the bottom half of the hour

Always goes to starboard: what? Always pees to starboard? That explains those stains.

a "crazy Ivan": Yes, he is known to make crazy Ivans, twice an hour. But what kind of CI in the bottom half of the hour? I bet the trim operator hates his guts.

Turn to starboard while doing a crazy Ivan on the half hour: Pretty close, but which half hour? Top? Bottom?

Come on, where's that military exactness for which you are all famed? :O:

In this case, I will allow all three answers. All three of your names will be added to the list.

The next Subsim Trivia question will surface within the next 12 hours. Right now I have to call the hanger and get that mob of judges out of my plane. :k_confused:

Sean Connery: Captain Marko Ramius

but how did Jack Ryan know that Captain Ramius would turn to starboard when questioned by the captain of the LA class fast attack submarine?

answer; He just took a guess

:up:

Most generous, Neal.


Today's objective complete, make life difficult for Neal.

He's making "Crazy Ivan" Which means the sub is making full 360 degrees turn to check if anyone follows her.

Imaginary friends are better then no friends at all.
:D

Nothing, because Ryan was just guessing.

Ha! that's actually true. :cool:

My imaginary friend can thrash your imaginary friend any day...

Ahem,
Captain Ramius was only known to pull the Crazy Ivan at the bottom of the hour. The maneuver to starboard was a guess by Mr Ryan, Therefore the direction was not known.

True. Good point Wolferz.

Happy Hunting!

Haha, thx, I only knew (part of) the answer because by coincidence I recently watched THFRO and remembered the scene. All the questions that came before this one didn't ring any bell whatsoever.

46 DDD :sunny:

Large enough to make him change his mind about firing his missiles on the United States.

Probably answered many times above, but according to Jack Ryan (who just made it up - had a 50/50 chance) he always turned to starboard when making a Crazy Ivan to clear his baffles.

What month?

Which playmate even? :hmm2:

Not 360 degrees ... they usually just check the baffles and go back to the course they were on the reverse side.

In real life on the open sea's crazy ivan's weren't the problem ... the chicken dances were even worse.

Whenever a Russian submarine detected another submarine (usually our side) they would steer straight for it.

Just one problem with this manuever ... in the 1960's we had not yet figured out how to tell what depth a contact was at with any certain certainety.

Thus the name, "Chicken dance" first one to change course was a chicken. Lot like jet fighter pilots headed for each other, except they had radar.
