Anyway, I don't really recall Ramius being ordered to destroy NYC, but

Dude, are you making this up as you go along?!?

Their orders were to proceed north, and rendezvous with Tupolev's boat,
where they would conduct drills with the caterpillar drive. Then they were
to return to Polyjarny (sp?).

Captain Raimus later tells the crew their orders are to sit off the coast of
New York, where they will "Listen to their Rock and Roll while we conduct

He tells the crew all of this because he doesn't want them to be too
suspicious about why they're headed toward America.

At no point does anyone say anything about destroying New York. Captain
Raimus intends to defect because the Red October "has but one purpose."
