Near the end of the film, a header comes up showing that the submarine is sailing on the Penobscot river north of Searsport Maine. This was done in an attempt to hide the submarine from the prying eyes of any Soviet spy satellites that may be looking for the Red October. However, unlike the wilderness that is shown as the ship moves up the river, there are in fact, several fishing towns and homes located along the length of this river, not to mention bridges that cross at various points. It is unlikely that a Soviet missile submarine that is 574 feet in length, 75 feet wide and drafting almost 40 feet of water could make it's way up this river without attracting considerable attention at some point. Not to mention that a ship the size of a Typhoon class sub would have an extremely difficult time trying to navigate a waterway as narrow and shallow as the Penobscot is in spots.
