Stingray (1964 TV series) "P.W.O.R." – short for "Proceeding With Orders Received". "Stingray" is piloted by the square-jawed Captain Troy Tempest. He is paired with Southern navigator Lieutenant George Lee Sheridan, nicknamed "Phones" for his role as "Stingray"<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hydrophone operator. Troy and Phones board "Stingray" by sitting on twin injector seats in Marineville's stand-by lounge, which are lowered into the vessel via injector tubes and then clamped into place. They answer to the crusty "hoverchair"-bound Commander Sam Shore, whose daughter, Lieutenant Atlanta Shore, takes shifts in the Marineville control tower and is enamoured of Troy. At the start of the series, the WASP learns
Miranda (The Tempest) unaware of the evils of the world that surrounds her, learning of her father's fate only as the play begins. There is some speculation that Miranda, along with her husband, Ferdinand, may be intended to represent Elizabeth Stuart and her new spouse, Elector Frederick V, as "The Tempest" was originally performed for the court of Elizabeth's father, King James, in celebration of the marriage. "The Tempest"'s second scene begins with Miranda centre stage, begging her father to spare the lives of the men at sea. She's fully aware of the powers Prospero possesses and begs him to cease the storm.
