    I watched this movie about a week before my brother left for Navy basic training. He ended up serving on submarines. Nothing terrible happened to him, but I thought of this film every time the boat went out to sea.

    A good Navy movie with solid performances by the stars that keeps you in suspense with the drama, action and adventure of a deep sea rescue.
