Guess No one else has Mind Melded that passage from Hunt for Red October...lol
Seaman Jones : Conn, sonar! Crazy Ivan!
Capt. Bart Mancuso : All stop! Quick quiet!
[the ships engines are shut down completely]
Beaumont : What's goin' on?
Seaman Jones : Russian captains sometime turn suddenly to see if anyone's behind them. We call it "Crazy Ivan." The only thing you can do is go dead. Shut everything down and make like a hole in the water.
Beaumont : So what's the catch?
Seaman Jones : The catch is, a boat this big doesn't exactly stop on a dime... and if we're too close, we'll drift right into the back of him.
I have seen that movie so many times I can practically act it out.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!
