Submarine Attack #16
A U.S. Navy submarine crew receives intelligence that the Reds are testing a new supersecret nuclear weapon and have orders to destroy anyone discovering the tests. After a Navy tug with a convoy in the North Atlantic is damaged and left behind in U-boat infested waters, the submarine uses the tug as a screen to approach an enemy ship. The crew detects a Japanese destroyer tracking them via underwater detection gear, leading to a tense engagement where the submarine fires torpedoes that sink both the destroyer and the approaching ship, allowing the submarine to surface and return home with the damaged tug in tow.
