I'm sure people would forgive the change of making October an Akula since that would still give them the feel of stealing a Russian sub and running with it like what happened in the book considering the fact that we can't make a playable Typhoon.

Of course, the basis of the idea is that the sub was equipped with a special propulison system, so in that sense it wouldn't matter wether it is a SSBN or SSN. The problem comes in that part of the thrill (for the US side at least) was that it couldn't be determined if the sub was in fact going to launch a strike against the US. But then again, in real life no Typhoon would need to go that close to the US coast to launch his attack, in fact they could launch them even from their base at Poljarni, or from the North Pole :hmm:
