I don't know how they could do that, maybe limit the top speed to 10-15 knots and set a S/N ratio of 0-1 ? Use the unused towed array switch in the navigation station to switch betwwen normal propulsion and silent propulsion ?
Anyway, the Red October with a towed array would be a heresy.
Its not as if you didn't have the choice with the other 2 typhoons available in RA so don't worry. You can always choose a typhoon with a towed array just not the Red October.

Well. Red October now has two modes - movement on props and on hydrodynamical system.
However - the cinema (Hunt For the Red October) shows that silent run, was on speed 26 Kts.
After failure of system of movement, were switched on props, and Red October was CounterDetected, from the plane.
Which threw a torpedo. (before approach Neptun a mountains massive).

We are going to make a silent mode on the increased depths (for example below than 150-200 meters).
On depths above designated, Red October will run on system props.
