      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.
