I watched Hunt for Red October last night on Netflix. I think I’d seen bits as a kid, but never watched the whole film.
Aside from some underwater shots with models, it was all very convincing and held up well. I had to lookup if any real subs were filmed on for external shots. No, but there was a 500ft fibreglass mockup made, which is pretty impressive, as it could be sunk below the surface.
An interesting account from one of the technical advisors is here: www.usni.org/magazines…
