During the nuclear arms race in 1961, the Soviet Union possesses enough missiles to destroy the world twice-over, the United States ten times over, and they continue to build more.

Vostrikov is alleged to have been appointed through his wife's political connections, and because of Polenin's tendency to put crew morale and safety before Soviet pride.

Protesting the dangerous maneuver, Polenin storms off the bridge.
