The Clyde Shipbuilding and Engineering Co operated from the Castle yard near Newark Castle in Glasgow, Scotland.
.
The yard had a long and distinguished history prior to 1900 when the Clyde Company arrived. It had previously been owned by Blackwood and Gordon before closing for two years between 1887 and 1889. There was an attempt by Blackwood to restart the company, but it never really established itself. The Clyde Shipbuilding Co. took over the yard and almost immediately started receiving orders.

A special group of navy divers is created when a disabled Nazi warship is discovered in a fjord in Norway. Commander Bolton (James Caan) is the Canadian expert designated to train the new unit. Their mission is to plant a bomb on the warship as it undergoes repairs. The hard-driving Bolton encounters resentment from the British soldiers he trains, but he ultimately earns their respect as a leader. Their intense training operation is interrupted by an attack of Nazi paratroopers just before the unit leaves for Norway. Spectacular underwater photography is seen in this World War II adventure story based on an actual mission
