Well since in the film the Red October DOESN'T have a towed array, and the film is based on the book of the same title in which the Red October still DOESN'T have the towed array. I'd say its pretty clear that in the fictional universe in which the Red October lives it DOESN'T have the towed array.
If you're still not convinced ask Tom Clancy directly why the hell he didn't give the Red October a towed array.
