Day 7

Ryan has been flown out the the carrier ship the Kennedy. He is on a mission for the CIA in a joint force effort between the U.S. and Britain. Naturally he was chosen because of his good ties with England. He will eventually be transported to the English carrier the Invincible. The USS Dallas's sonar man Ronald Jones has discovered something on sonar. It is a very feint sound and he records it then speeds it up enough to realize that the sound he is hearing has to be man made because it occurred at a steady interval. They believe it to be a Russian sub and asked permission to go after it. This request was permitted, and they estimate the route the Commander of the Russian sub might take and set course to cut it off. Little did they know but this was The Red October. Back on The Red October Petrov the sub's doctor believes that there is a radioactive leak on the nuclear sub due to the fact tags that everyone wears a radioactive indicator tag and that some people were being exposed to it more than the norm. Ramius orders to keep it quiet and between the two. He has a young officer check the hot piping in the submarine for any radioactive spikes but did not find anything. Ramius believes that is good enough even though they did not check everywhere.
