Just watched the movie "Hunt for Red October".

 

Is the Red October Typhon in the data annex (dont have my copy here to quote page number) meant to represent the sub from the movie?

 

Is it a real type, or a work of fiction? (sorry for dumb questions).

It is a work of fiction but my vague memory tells me that there are H4.1 stats for her in one of the Sitreps, hopefully Pete will come to the rescue yet again with detail.

Remarks:

Single unit in service was Krasny Oktyabr (Red October), Fitted with special “Caterpillar” quiet propulsion system. Becomes Extremely Quiet while caterpillar is operating. If detection is made on ship while the drive is operating, passive sonar information rolls will always fail, unless the opposing player has been provided with the sub’s signature in advance. Any torpedo hit has a 50% chance of disabling the ship’s caterpillar drive. Estimated TT loadout 14 SET-65M, 4 VA-111 Shkval, 2 83R Vodopad [sS-N-15a], 2 84R Vodoley [sS-N-15b], 2 MG-74 3rd gen submarine simulators (count as one torpedo). Has anechoic coating. Hull is HY-130 steel. Double hull construction. The percent chance of a DE warhead penetrating the pressure hull is reduced from 50% to 25%. Special damage modifier of +20% for large distance between outer and pressure hull. Federated Digital FCS.

• Dec 83: Lost in mid-Atlantic after reactor accident immediately after commissioning. Captain and most of the officers lost. Ship’s doctor the only officer to survive.

Fictional modification of a real type, adding six more missiles and a new propulsion system.
