The Alabama (Crimson Tide) vs The Red October (The Hunt for Red October)

I like both The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide, so why not have a submarine battle between the two.

In case you forgot, the Alabama's commanding officers are Captain Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) and Lt. Commander Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington), whereas the commanding officers on the Red October are Captain 1st Class Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) and Captain 2nd class Vasily Borodin (Sam Neill).

Since the Red October has an unfair advantage with its caterpillar drive, said drive is banned from this match.

With Denzel at the helm, The Alabama wins. He seems like the type of guy who gets down in the trenches with his troops.

The alien sumbarine in The Abyss destroys them both.

And the Yellow Submarine could take on all three and win.

Two fights between nuclear submarines makes this the dullest fight ever. Like watching two whales fight.

Anyway, Hunter is just a hotshot newbie, whereas Remius is a supreme tactical and strategic genius.

Sean Connory does them in old fashioned scotty style.
