The President's Security Advisor.
Most of the Joint Chiefs will be there.
:33:10
- Who is giving the briefing?
- You are.
:33:14
All the slides are laid out for you.
All you've got to do...
:33:24
Look, no one understands
this material better than you.
:33:29
Give him a run down of the sub
and the stuff in your hand.
:33:33
When he ask direct questions,
give him direct answers.
:33:38
Tell him what you think. Come on.
:33:47
The last 24 hours have seen some
extraordinary Soviet naval activity.
:33:54
The first ship to sail
was the Red October. -
:33:57
- in reference
to the October revolution of 1917.
:34:01
A variant of the Typhoon class,
she's 650 feet long -
:34:05
- and 32,000 tons
submerged displacement.
:34:12
We believe that these doors
enclose a unique propulsion system.
:34:18
A magneto-hydrodynamic drive,
or caterpillar. -
:34:21
- that would enable the sub
to run virtually silent.
:34:25
It is possible that this new drive system
allowed Capt. Ramius...
:34:31
Do we have his picture available?
:34:34
...to elude our attack-boat boat Dallas
which was trailing Red October.
:34:42
It is also possible
that this drive system -
:34:46
- could render the Red October
undetectable to our warning nets.
:34:51
Would you characterize this
as a first-strike weapon?
:34:58
That is a possibility.
