Brief Summary- The crew of the Red October were brought to the United States were they are meet by a mob of media reports. The overwhelming encounter, which took a few hours to get away from, was entirely unexpected. After this they were to be taken to a hospital for medical checks including one for radiation exposure. On their way they were taken through Washington D.C., the crew was shocked to see so many cars, after which the American officers informed them that most people in the United States have one or two cars, and public transportation is used only when people don't want to drive. Most of the Russians were not quick to believe this, and thought of the possibility the United States organized the whole thing to put on a good show or try to get them to stay in the United State, four do.
On the Red October, the officers and the Americans are discussing what made them go into their occupations. The Russians are surprised to learn that Mancuso is not the son of a spy or an important politician.
Journal- I'm thinking that the Soviets will eventually learn what really happened to the Red October, with spies and if the United States starts using new submarines with caterpillar drive systems. I wonder whats going to happen then. It seem like the thing that could put the US and the Soviets on the brink of war.
