Yes, but not a defective propeller that killed 160 submariners (as far as I know).

Yeah, it sounds good but, I don’t recall anything like that.
We did give them some programming that led to a pipeline blowing up and setting them back but, it happened out in the middle of nowhere and no one died.
Sounds sexier to say some Reds died on a sub.

In that episode, the guy at the Soviet embassy says the USSR used the propeller on the wrong size sub, and that's what caused the sub to crash.
For a good historical movie on espionage in the 1980s, see Farewell (it's about 20% in English, 30% in Russian and 50% in French, and it therefore has a lot of subtitles).
