There has always been a symbiotic relationship between the submarine commanding officer, the submarine's sensors and whatever command aids were available. The harder and more often the three worked together the better was the attack solution provided.
Combat veteran Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) and his second-in-command Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) are the chief officers on board US nuclear submarine Crimson Tide.
They are heading for Russia, ready to intervene in an escalating crisis which could result in the outbreak of World War 3. When they then receive orders to launch their missiles, Ramsay and Hunter clash over the validity of the command and mutiny ensues.

HMS TRIBUNE landed a special services party on a beach near Ajaccio in Corsica in Feb '43. There is a beautiful memorial to the party placed on the 50th anniversary and I am looking for more information.
