Day 1

Marko Ramius is the soviet commander of the newly built submarine The Red October. He has helped build the submarine and he is very connected to it. The crew has been given a mission, and that is to travel west past the north cape of America, then Norway, then turn south towards the Atlantic Ocean. And they must not be detected by the Americans or the new soviet recruits on new submarines because this is the Red October's test. At the end of the first day Ramius killed the political officer, Captain Ivan Yurievich Putin, and made it look like an accident. Ramius must have something against either the Government or just that one person or really that death was really just a waste, and just like any other Tom Clancy novel someone has to die immediately.
