When sailing up the river at the end of the film, Ramius is surprised to find that the U.S. Navy plans to hide the ship on a river in plain view. Ryan tells him that the nearest Naval base is over 100 miles away, and that this is the last spot a Soviet satellite would think to look. The U.S. Naval Air Station at Brunswick Maine is only about 85 miles away by car and even less if traveling in a straight line like a spy satellite would. This base was used throughout the cold war to house Fleet Air Wing 3, comprised of P2V and PV-3 Orion anti submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft, whose primary mission was to track Soviet submarine and surface ship activity in the North Atlantic on a 24 hour basis. If the Soviet Union were desperate to find a missing Typhoon class submarine that had gone missing in that general area, chances are they would be monitoring any unusual naval activity within several hundred miles of a base like that.
