Captain goes loony thinking his submarine is under attack and WWIII has begun then almost fires his nuclear torpedo at the carrier USS
Randolf before his XO Captain Vasili Arkhipov talks him down and convinces him to surface and regain contact with Moscow.
Captain Vasili Arkhipov was also the IRL XO of the
K-19, his actions during Operation Anadyr inspired the (fictional) actions of the character based on him in K-19: The Widdowmaker.
