Except it was the USS Houston (SSN-713) that appeared in the film as USS Dallas.

Don’t ask me how I know.

“And then we’ll go down...and scuttle the ship”

Among one of the best delivered lines in the movie.

My favorite movie.

I have a copy & must have seen it at least 30 times.

I will miss Tom Clancey, as we lost him this year. RIP, Tom.

Ah, the Houston. Now there was a boat that knew how to sink stuff. It may have had the peacetime tonnage record.

I just finished re-reading that book last week. It was better than I remember when I read it back in the late eighties. The movie is also one of my favorites.

I met Fred Thompson back in late ‘07 when he was running for president. As I chatted with him while getting my picture taken, all I could think was holy crap I’m shaking hands with Admiral Painter...

“This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”

“Russians don’t take a dump without a plan, son. And senior captains don’t start something this dangerous without having thought the matter through.”

Gee, you seem to know secret stuff, just like Wikipedia.
