    I’ve found out who Korolev was… so thanks for that :) But what’s the “one ping” in reference to? If you have the time to explain

      But what’s the “one ping” in reference to?

      He had the wrong name. It would be ‘Mr Borodin’,

      Captain Ramius: Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please.
      Capt. Vasili Borodin: Aye, Captain.
      

      Solid reference nonetheless, focusing on the ‘one ping only’, as many of us have seen this SO many times.
