Well I know nothing about subs at all. But one of my favorite movies is Hunt For Red October.

I was 11 years old I first time read Clancys HFRO and few years older I saw the film. Have to say I didn't liked the film at all. Like someone said before, it can make you feel there is not anything else common between the film and the book but the name. I think the film lost the very basic idea of Clancy: Picturing the life on board and different procedures carried by the crew as realistic as possible, even in the story wich is basicly fiction. Clancy had to carry out a huge intelligency work on his own and in one interwiew Clancy tells, how he intewieved a retired submariner to find out at least a little bit about what was it like on board. I think this was a principal idea what was screwed in the film. After I saw the film, I remember, I thought Connerys beard was the best part of that film, even it didn't followed the style common and allowed to russian CO's.
I haven't found any writer picturing the subs like Clancy, despite those who really have been on board. First books of Clancy I think are well writen but afterwoods the writer maybe lost some of his touch or maybe started just make the money. At least the subs allmost dissapeared...
Sry the long post.
