As depth charges exploded, some unpleasantly close, one could hear the distinct click of the detonator prior to the subsequent main charge explosion. Luckily, many times, the depth charges were a few hundred yards away from the submarine, but we could still hear that click of the detonator, sometimes rather faintly, but we heard it just the same.
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
