Any chance this refers to the SUB used to launch a nuclear strike against HI?

Ties into "Red October" reference,

and "The Hunt for" being removed per Q.

Released hostage would be the US,

Hence our moving forward with NK.

1000 pieces, as pointed out by another Anon, refers to coming C_A breakup.

…maybe?
