I read the book. And there were certainly real references to submarine hunting. But the reference to preventing WW3 by finding a enemy sub is still lost on me.
replyMy personal favorite of the sub movies is Phantom with Ed Harris, and it gets a little more philosophical. Basically in these kinds of dramas, escalation itself is the enemy: the move that triggers the countermove that triggers the countermove that triggers the war that ends the world
