I kinda like using the hunt for Red October since it reflects the title of the blog post (The hunt for Tirpitz).

OK. Even so, I think the best comparison for the ship is Red October rather than the Hunt for Red October.

I know I wrote this one, but I'd change "Unlike The Hunt for Red October, this German battleship was sunk" -> "Unlike The Hunt for Red October, this ship was sunk."
