Capt. Mancuso (skipper of the Dallas) appears surprised after the torpedo fired at them by the Konovalov when it failed to detonate because Captain Ramius closed the distance before it had time to arm, but then acknowledges it after the torpedo impacts the Red October by exclaiming, "I'll be damned." It could appear as those "combat tactics, Mr. Ryan" was already familiar to Capt. Mancuso, so he had no reason to act ignorant and countermand Captain Ramius' order to steer to course 315 and close the distance between the Red October and the oncoming torpedo.However, Mancuso apparently did not realize what Ramius was planning, and it was not until the he experienced the successful outcome of the maneuver that he realized how brilliant it was. (In contrast to Ryan, however, Mancuso instantly understood what had happened.)
