Officially, SSN-585 was decommissioned on April 19, 1990. Officially. And the Department of Defense would tell you that this story never happened. But that's also what they say about the Red October...
Skipjack is a maritime technothriller, in which the titular nuclear submarine is ordered to patrol the coast of Estonia, clandestinely defending the newly-independent country against any USSR submarines that might seek to disrupt their shipping until such time as the Estonians could assemble and deploy their own maritime forces. They have their work cut out for them, since a rogue group within the Soviet military are not taking Estonia's declaration of independence at all well, this group has access to a Red October class nuclear submarine of their own... and there's nobody at all like Jack Ryan aboard the Skipjack.
