I think the opponent Russian sub was an Alfa, though. That's the one that's sunk at the end of the movie.

  Yes, that's correct. (And the US subs are 688 class.)

    In the book, USS Ethan Allen (an SSBN) made an appearance as well.

    Fun fact - as I was reading Red October, I got a job as an electronics apprentice/tech at the yard in Portsmouth NH, and the first boat I stepped onto was the Dallas. Was a cool moment.
