"Red Tide Storm" - 7.8

Movies don't really have the opposite angle. The old captain and the deputy captain are very different in character and style of doing things, but the deputy captain is recruited by the old captain when the submarine is in urgent need of manpower. The captain agrees. The reason why the old captain of the movie "Anti-Angle" is so stubborn is only because his seniority is too deep, so he is too arrogant. He thinks that based on his own intuition and his own experience, the decision he makes will definitely be correct. of. However, the old captain is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Even his loyal subordinates who later organized a "reaction" to "rescue" the old captain were only loyal to the decision made by the old captain. The main theme in the play is whether to launch nuclear weapons on the enemy when the superior information is not completely credible, and at the same time, the enemy may also face the enemy's missile attack. The deputy captain advocated that the decision should be made after confirming the information, while the old captain believed that in a war, despite the incomplete information and orders from the superior, he should make a decisive decision and launch an attack on the enemy to gain the initiative. The film is based on the drama of the deputy captain. In favor of launching nuclear weapons, it is necessary to pass clear instructions, otherwise a nuclear war will be triggered, life will be ruined, and the world will fall into disaster. The story of the movie is adapted as a real case, and history has proved the vice-captain right. After this incident, the United States also revised the launch power of nuclear weapons, and only the President of the United States has the sole control of nuclear weapons.

Crimson Tide quotes

  • Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: Now, based on the testimony from personnel on board the Alabama and, in no small measure, to that of the senior officer, Captain Ramsey, I am prepared to make my recommendations to SUBPAC.

    Hunter: Without my testimony, sir?

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: You have a problem with that?

    Hunter: I might, sir.

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: I have known Captain Ramsey for almost 30 years. We served together on more than a few occasions. If he is lying this will be the first I've heard of it.

    Hunter: Yes, sir.

    Rear Admiral Anderson, Board of Inquiry President: My primary concern here is the breakdown in the system. In this instance the system failed because the two senior officers did not work to resolve their differences, while preserving the chain of command. Now you may have been proven right, Mr Hunter, but insofar as the letter of the law is concerned, you were both right, and you were also both wrong. This is the dilemma that will occupy this panel, this navy, and this country's armed forces as a whole, long after you leave this room. Off the record... you've both created one hell of a mess: a mutiny aboard a United States nuclear submarine, violation of nuclear launch protocol.
