Seems clear to me that no matter how great the US believes they were at tracking Soviet subs, by that point they'd be lucky to be using guesswork and blind luck.
Same goes for the Soviets.

Finding a nuke boat in the deep blue without having a good starting point would be very, very difficult. However, weird things happen in war. USS Houston could trail a sub tender to a juicy target. Alternatively, she might score a coup in the approaches to Vladivostok or Petropavlovsk. If the Soviets are absolutely determined to get Guam, they will take her down. If they aren't especially attached to destroying Guam, there might be room for some story telling.
