Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was filmed on a low budget. As a result most of the shots of the submarines, ships and the scenes were either taken from other films or stock footage from World War II.
- GoofsMary Stuart was allowed into the ComSubPac plotting room. It is next to impossible to believe that a highly secret room like that (with location and position of the entire Pacific Fleet) would be accessible to common US Navy Personnel like nurses.
- Quotes
Ens. Caldwell: [after the Chief and Junior are killed] I couldn't help it about the Chief.
Duke E. Gifford: Remembering how he took care of you?
Ens. Caldwell: Yes sir.
Duke E. Gifford: Well, before he took care of you, he took care of Larry, before Larry, he took care of me and before me he took care of Pop. Chiefs have been taking care of this man's Navy for a long time, Mister Caldwell. Don't worry about him, there's a lot of good sailors back there for him to take care of.
- Crazy creditsIn keeping with the submarine theme of the film: at the very start, we see a submarine periscope break the surface of the sea, then we see an officer looking into the view-port of the periscope, then we see the opening credits appear, as if being viewed through a periscope.
