[[File:Submarine.png|right|thumb|''Red Raktuber'' is a penguin-controlled submarine.]]
'''''Red Raktuber''''' is the name of the [[submarine]] that players track down and board during the quest ''[[Hunt for Red Raktuber]]''.

The submarine appears to sport some slight modifications to a standard submarine. For example, it is currently able to dock, and presumably walk on land as a giant penguin, due to the giant footprints found near [[Witchaven]].

The name of ''Red Raktuber'' and the associated quest is a reference to the novel and movie ''[[wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October|The Hunt for Red October]]'', Raktuber being a month in the Gielinorian [[calendar]].

==History==
The ''Red Raktuber'' was created for the [[KGP]] by [[Glosur]], [[Medwin]], [[Baden]], and [[Obert]], a group of [[dwarves]] who split away from [[Red Axe|The Red Axe]] to aid the penguins in their plans for world domination. The submarine was based upon the design of the player's [[clockwork suit]], which was lost at the end of the quest ''[[Cold War]]''. The designs have since been significantly modified. The ship was originally captained by [[Captain Marlin]].

Eventually, the ship went missing, and a [[Captured penguin|cabin cleaner]] was sent ashore to deliver a message to the KGP that those on board the ship had found a new leader, one that was better than [[Pescaling Pax]].

==Hunt for Red Raktuber==

{{main|Hunt for Red Raktuber}}

During the quest, players attempt to track down and board the ''Red Raktuber''. After interrogating the [[captured penguin]], players learn how to board the ''Red Raktuber'' using a [[conch shell]], and a specific signal consisting of 3 of the [[Emotes#Penguin emotes|penguin emotes]]. With the help of [[Ping & Pong]], players also learn from the [[dwarves]] how to disable and reset the course of the submarine. Players then finally steal a [[telegram]], which indicates the last sighting of the ship, east of [[Yanille]].

On board the ship, players discover that [[Captain Marlin]] has come under control of a [[sea slug]]. They are thrown into the brig, and their [[toolbox]] is confiscated. The player must then search a nearby hat rack to find an array of sea-related items and creatures to improvise for a [[lockpick]] and the tools required to disable and re-route the ship to a nearby [[Island (Hunt for Red Raktuber)|tropical island]].

==After the quest==

Players discover that they were tricked by [[Pescaling Pax]] into returning the ship to him and the KGP, and that the dwarves were in fact working with the penguins. The ship is taken, along with a captured [[Larry]] to the [[Motherland]].

==Trivia==

*Like many things in RuneScape, the Red Raktuber is a reference to its real-world equivalent; in this case, the [[Wikipedia:Red October (submarine)|Red October]]. The Soviet ship gained recognition in the 1984 namesake book by Tom Clancy, and a movie of the same name, released in 1990. Even the name of the quest "Hunt of the Red Raktuber", is a pun to the name of both the book and the film. Furthermore, as confirmed in the [[Returning Clarence]] miniquest, Raktuber is also a month in ''Runescape'', presumably analogous to October.
