Output (English): Decorated submarine commander Commander William Talbots Glenn Ford boat the USS Bluefin actually the USS Cusk is on manoeuvers with the goal of simulating sinking the aircraft carrier USS Midway CV41. The Midway is carrying some politicians to view the test firing of a JB2 missile from its flight deck. Sighting the carrier, the Bluefin attempts a simulated torpedo attack but is detected and sunk by a depth charge attack from a destroyer. After viewing the successful launching of the JB2 from the surface, Talbot attempts to convince his commanding officer that if his submarine would have had a guided missile his attack on the carrier would have been successful. His commander relays the information that the Navy has been thinking of the same idea and sends the Bluefin to the Pacific Missile Test Center at Naval Air Station Point Mugu for a short period of training and familiarisation. On the way to the base the Bluefin ruins the fishing nets of Lars Hansens John Qualen fleet, which fishes in the area when the Navy is not testing their missiles. The crew of the Bluefin are impatient with the training course they must take and attempt to speed things up and gather their own equipment through midnight supply theft, but run afoul of the tight security on the base. Talbot meets and unsuccessfully attempts to seduce the base commanders secretary Karin Hansen, a Danish emigre who is the daughter of the still furious Captain Lars. Talbot does obtain from Karin the location of needed missile parts at an army base and obtains them for his boat. The unorthodox procedures used so well in wartime cause tragedy to the couple; Karin loses her job for revealing information and Talbots haste in launching a missile from his boats deck results in his serious injury and the death of his friend Quartermaster Fuss Payne Joe Sawyer. Talbots depression leaves him not desiring to walk without braces and in danger of being medically discharged from the Navy. Karin snaps Talbot out of his whining selfpity to take command of his boat during maneuvers for a submarine flotilla to attack a surface fleet. Talbot gets the idea for the missilecarrying submarines to launch their missiles, but then have them successfully guided to the surface fleet by the nearer submarines originally earmarked for a torpedo attack.
