The Hunt for Red October (film)/Awesome

It's rare for a submarine to get its own crowning moment of awesome, but The Reveal on the Red October is a definite example.
Ramius getting his entire crew to sing the U.S.S.R.'s National Anthem. Even more so when he tells them to keep singing after one of his officers raises concerns about their noise level.
Ramius' navigating blind through underwater canyons as part of an underwater Canyon Chase also qualify. It's exposited that Soviet captains get extremely accurate undersea maps of the canyons with precise times to follow for each leg to allow them to do this safely - which Ramius then proceeds to throw out the window as he navigates round the Neptune Massif by the seat of his pants.

Navigator: Turn plus thirteen, plus fourteen, plus fifteen seconds! Captain, if we're out of position by so much as a boat length...!

"Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please."
Not to mention the intervention of the USS Dallas, drawing off Tupolev's torpedo and then blowing all its ballast tanks. "I hope to Christ this works. Alright, Chief. Put us on the roof."
- Followed by the Dallas practically flying out of the water.
Captain Mancuso has the final CMoA by blowing up the enemy submarine with their own torpedo.
- The hard part about playing chicken is knowing when to flinch. Oh yes.
Ramius' speech upon revealing the orders to the crew, especially this bit.

Ramius: "It brings me back to the heady days of Sputnik, and Yuri Gagarin, when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. And they will tremble again, at the sound of our silence."

Seaman Jones, he faces the dilemma of a Soviet sub with a revolutionary top secret stealth propulsion system and invents a way to detect and track the enemy in only a few hours.
