The sequence where the aircraft carrier U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74) is attacked and crippled by Russian Tu-22 Backfire bombers with missiles, is a composite of at least two of Tom Clancy's novels. The overall sequence of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier being almost sunk by Backfire-launched missiles, is from "Red Storm Rising", though the aircraft carrier in question, was the U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68) rather than the Stennis. The Stennis, however, does appear and gets damaged in a later book, "Debt of Honor", although not to the extent shown in this movie. (As a side note, "Red Storm Rising" is one of Clancy's few novels not to be set in the Jack Ryan universe).
