''Literature/TheHuntForRedOctober''. Notably, the book featured such accurate depictions of US submarine operations that he came under investigation because the government was convinced he was being leaked classified information. As it turned out, he was able to to piece together how things worked by thoroughly researching publicly available sources. He applied this rigorous attention to detail to the works he had a direct hand in -- although he did get things wrong on occasion.

* ForWantOfANail: As mentioned above, this is one of Clancy's favorite tropes. At least once per book you'll have a major disaster occur due to a relatively minor detail, such as a faulty switch compromising an entire production line of cars and causing an international incident or a vibrating pipe causing a ''nuclear meltdown'' on a submarine.
