Brief Summary- Arbatov, a Soviet ambassador, has arrived at the White House to meet with the President, who questions Arbatov about the "troubling increase in Soviet naval activity in the North Atlantic". Upon being asked this, the ambassador denies any knowledge of this and is told by the President to tell Moscow that the United States will be deploying ships and aircraft to observe those the Soviets have sent out. Later, Arbatov informs the President that Moscow has ordered a full scale search and rescue mission for a lost submarine, and he apologises for his government not having time to inform him of this. The President informs falsely the ambassador that they had suspicions of a rescue mission and offers the Soviets any help they may need.
Skip Tyler has finished his computer program that details the speed, noise level, and other important features regarding her detectability, characteristics, and stealth. According to his report, the Red October will be harder to detect than anything the Soviets have at this time.
The USS Pogy, who was stationed near the USS Dallas has been ordered to join up with its counterpart and track and shadow.
The E. S. Politovskiy has detected problems with its reactor plant, which prove to be serious. The Russian submarine is forced to surface, but the fuel rods were over heating so in an attempt to cool off the reactor that compartment of the ship was flooded with sea water. This inadvertently began to sink the submarine. Half of the crew was killed during the flooding, and the other half, those who had gotten into radiation compartments that weren't compromised when the submarine hit the ocean floor, would die of asphyxiation.
As the USS Pogy moved to her new destination she was close enough to the E. S. Politovskiy to here her accident and request assistance to its location.
Journal- I thought this chapter was very easy to read because most of what was in it wasn't in the movie. The sinking of the E. S. Politovskiy was rather interesting and I'm wondering if the United Stated are going to try to prevent that it was the Red October if the defecting sub is successful in reaching the United States.
