Detail : |
After getting underway and prior to submerging, several shots are shown of the sub's bridge area as well as shots of the submarine itself plowing through the water. The submarine used is actually a Los Angeles/688 class attack submarine and not an Ohio class\n ballistic missile submarine. The USS Alabama (SSBN-731) is, of course, an Ohio class missile sub. The two can be differentiated by the size and placement of the fairwater planes on the sail (the sail being the large vertical structure on a submarine from which the fairwater planes extend horizontally from each side) and the shape of the topside\n deck aft of the sail. The discrepancy is repeated in the movie poster, again a Los Angeles class submarine is shown. |
