Documentary dramatic anthology about the U.S. Navy's
Submarine fleet. All stories were based on fact and the
realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage
from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied
between the South Pacific during World War II and the
Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear
Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the
Navy in 1949 after 22 years service. The Navy loaned
him the U.S.S. Sawfish for the filming of several episodes.
