i love military comedy ( sgt . bilko and stripe and in the army now and major payne ) and down periscope be hilarious and but it have a heart a well . the stingray ss 161 ( the us pampanito ) be gorgeous . absolutely beautiful and a piece of art come alive . so it be a diesel engine sub and so what . i learn that the aircraft carrier uss ranger ( which stand in for the enterprise in star trek iv ) and a huge ship and be conventionally power and which might mean that ranger be a diesel too . my favorite scene represent pascal represent jesus and buckman and this can be on the stingray since korea . this can expire in 1966. buckman represent ( take finger full and taste it ) what the matter and sir . it still taste like cream corn . pascal represent ( yell ) except and it devil ham . buckman represent that would be a problem . it story and perhaps a wee strain and seem plausible . winslow respect dodge and and seem to care about him and so he want to give dodge a chance . he give him a battered but still seaworthy balao class sub and and assign him the task of use the diesel sub to evade the nuclear navy and attack charlston harbor and and norfolk . 2 star admiral graham ( with his eye on his third star and and a grudge against dodge ) assign him the ragtag crew and hop that they would screw up so dodge would lose . can tom dodge get the crew up to speed and work a a team and and can he take an old and out of date sub and and beat the navy best .
