Filmed with help from the US Navy, this fact-based story tells of the U.S.S. Barksdale during World War II. After surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lt. Comdr. William Masterson takes over command as the captain falls ill with appendicitis. While in charge, Masterson allows the ship to take a torpedo to save a larger nearby cruiser. In route for repairs, they fight off a squadron of Japanese fighter planes.
