I never really understood the logic behind the final scenarios, either. Not mentioning that a strategic nuclear exchange probably wouldn't be an extinction-level event (close for the targeted nations but not necessarily for the world), I never got how the player sinking a boomer would lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Also, reading game files, I saw a reference to endings where NATO either withdraws all naval assets from the North Atlantic (what???) or the player gets arrested and deported to a Soviet gulag, how would that be triggered?

I'm pretty sure a strategic nuclear exchange between USSR and NATO would be an extinction level event.

Check out a movie call On the Beach. It's actually about what would happen to a sub crew after all the missiles have flown

I was nearly sunk the other day deep in enemy waters. I surfaced and abandoned ship, only to be "rescued" by the Soviets and promptly arrested. The excerpt said that I would not likely survive my time in the POW camp.

No, it was about returning to Holy Loch (probably after NATO loses), where you are encountered by MPs and arrested, deported, and sent to gulag.
