Stingray

The World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASPs) explored the oceans and kept the world safe from a variety of perils. The WASPs' main weapon was Stingray, a super-sub under the command of Troy Tempest. Troy's copilot was Phones, and they were often joined on missions by Marina, a princess of the undersea kingdom of Pacifica. Marina could breathe under water, but was unable to speak. In charge of the WASPs was gruff Commander Shore, whose daughter Atlanta was both a member of his staff and Marina's rival for Troy's affection. —Marg Baskin <marg@asd.raytheon.ca>

Trivia
Some of the main puppets are based on real people including:
Troy Tempest was modeled on the facial features of American actor James Garner.
Marina was modeled on both Ursula Andress and Brigitte Bardot.
Atlanta Shore was modeled on her voice actress Lois Maxwell.
Titan was based on a young Laurence Olivier.
Surface Agent X-2-Zero is modeled on Claude Rains but his voice is imitative of Peter Lorre.
Gerry Anderson said that he did not explicitly instruct the sculptors to base Troy on James Garner; instead, he named Garner simply to help them visualize the character, as he could see that they were struggling with his original brief (which merely called for Troy to be square-jawed and heroic-looking).

Goofs
The use of "Commander" here does not refer to rank but to Commanding Officer which could be any rank that is above the others. Shore's actual rank is not mentioned.

Alternate versions
At least two made-for-video movie releases exist, created by editing episodes together. These are The Incredible Voyage of Stingray and Invaders from the Deep.

Connections
Edited into The Incredible Voyage of Stingray (1980)

I like this but I don't know why

I've never been able to get into Thunderbirds or the rest of these marionette shows but I enjoy this one. Even though they are the protectors of the sea, they know almost nothing about it. They are constantly encountering new races of under water people they have never heard of and those people know everything about Stingray and WASP and want to destroy them. They have a woman who never speaks and never has anything to do with the story but the song over the end credits is about her. None of it makes any sense but I like it.
