Something else may be:
1) bolshevik revolution often called by that name. 2) a connection to this tour group (note the owls from trip advisor). http:// www.redoctober.us/index.htm
3)Also an urban dictionary reference for having sex with other people in the room in stealth mode.
4) I think a stronger possibility is the Russian IT attacks last Oct
5) someone mentioned the book/movie, but in the book/movie the RO survives to come to the US it's another Soviet sub which ends up sinking from it's own torpedo after firing at the USSHouston.
