Trivia
The frigate shown when the Red October surfaces is not the real USS Reuben James, an Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate with hull number 57. USS Gary, hull number 51, portrayed Reuben James and also provided some of the engine room shots of Red October. The crew also participated on some scenes. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When the cook's assistant leaves the bridge, the Russian crewman says that he has doubled forward and is tampering with missile number 20 on the port side. But when Ryan looks into the missile bay (from the only entrance at the rear), the even-numbered missiles are starboard. See more »Quotes
