Don Winslow of the Navy #22

Don Winslow engages in a dangerous game of submarine football with his crew as a training exercise, using the submarines themselves as "players" in a coordinated formation. When enemy forces attack during the maneuver, the plan backfires as the submarines find themselves under fire, with crew members like Joe Wynn sustaining injuries. Despite the initial strategy's failure against the Japanese opposition, Winslow attempts to call off the football formation plays and reposition the submarines individually, hoping to turn the tide of battle.
