I dont know the exact answer but could you even believe that a soviet submarine or warship fired on the US Submarine Scorpion and dont forget the scorpion is fully equiped to sink any vessel that threatens it, not to mention the possibility that she might be carrying nuclear weapons also.

this is the thing that stoped each side from opening the outer doors id hesitate to think a soviet commander fired at scorpion, simply because of the repocussions it would cause.
