Background:
Hunt for Red October is the reason I became a sonar tech on a USN sub. I know that movie pretty well.
As I was watching the news and/or lurking, something hit me. In the last scene of the movie, we were watching the submarine battle between Red October, USS Dallas and (unknown to everyone on the surface) the Konovalov.
Optics are important
The 'reports' that an American submarine was scuttled may be just that. Optics If in fact (as in the movie) there were 3 subs involved, I have theorized that we were working with the Russian sub to hunt the real target. Perhaps a rouge DS sub?
There are some countries (and I won't tell you how I know) that have old diesel boats for sale. That could very well be what we are seeing here.
Just a thought

is there a special Craigslist-ski for “Old Soviet Hardware”? Are they still having a special on the old suitcase nukes?

[a torpedo is racing toward them]
Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact, 20 seconds.
Captain Ramius: [to Ryan] What books?
Jack Ryan: Pardon me?
Captain Ramius: What books did you write?
Jack Ryan: I wrote a biography of, of Admiral Halsey, called "The Fighting Sailor", about, uh, naval combat tactics...
Captain Ramius: I know this book!
Capt. Vasili Borodin: Torpedo impact...
Captain Ramius: Your conclusions were all wrong, Ryan...
Capt. Vasili Borodin: ...10 seconds.
Captain Ramius: ...Halsey acted stupidly.

As I recall we discussed on this thread many months ago, the C_A (deep state) has 1 or 2 subs of their own.

Love that movie. (Also love Tombstone, but that’s a slide for another day :-) )

Way behind, but those rouge subs - might they be able to launch a missle?? as in Whitbly Island? Could that sub still be lurking?
