re: Hunt for red October about to be for real?

The ocean floor has been heavily seeded with listening devices out from every known Russian Naval base, (both submarine and boat base). We know every time a boat passes by our sensors, moving out to sea. Thankd to computer analysis of sound signatures, the sensors are good enough to not be fooled if a submarine is moving under a noisy surface vessel.

The boat referenced here was a known threat, before it was even completed and put to sea the first time. There is no way a US vessel is not creaping along beind the sub, lstening and learning all it is possible to learn about it.

Obviously, if the sub launched an underwater drone, we would know that. Hopefully we would react to it and have another vesssel ready to intercept the drone and take it out. Also, if the russian vessel approached the US coastline, we would be ready to stop it.
