Was a surface nuc. We operated with the Scorpion (sad end) a few months before she sank and was amazed at what it could do. Three times in a five days she was able to penetrate the flotilla and sink all the ships (recall that our carrier group was 13 combatants). After the 2nd time the admiral running the op required the Scorpion to approach within 10deg of a given heading at a given speed and time. Didn't do any good. Still sank us all.
Will definitely have to watch the movie.
Don't forget the "Hunt for Red October".
