Talk:Ice Station Zebra (novel)

message: Curious coincidence (or not...), SSN-509 was the boat routinely seen delivering Steve Austin on his missions. The hull number belongs to a cancelled Tench, cancelled 29 July 1944.  Trekphiler 21:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I deleted the following passage from Backgound:
:There actually was a US Submarine called  around at the same time as the events in the novel. However it was operated on diesel engines and was not nuclear-powered.
While it was ordered in 1960 and its keel was laid down in 1962, this real-life USS Dolphin was actually commissioned in 1968, some five years after the publication of this novel.Marcd30319 (talk) 11:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: (the real American submarine  operated on diesel)
Again, the inclusion of this real-life USS Dolphin as an influence or factor for MacLean in the plotting oh this novel is unfounded.Marcd30319 (talk) 11:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The following sentence in the Film Adaptation section is unsupported by the film's dialogue:
In the movie, the fire on the drift Ice Station was explained away as accidental.
Actually, the character portrayed by Rock Hudson speculates that it was an accident, and is answered by Patrick McGoohan's character, who has interviewed the delirious survivors and surveyed the grounds, asserting his belief that Goodwin started the fire to disguise what he had done. No character contradicts this assertion during the remainder of the film.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.184.95 (talk) 18:01, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
