Butch Rogers (Pat O'Brien) and Sock McGillis (Wayne Morris), old submarine hands stationed in Panama. On land, Butch and Sock battle over pretty Ann Sawyer (Doris Weston). At sea and underwater, however, our two heroes are virtually inseparable.[1]
This film offers many insights into the US Navy submarine force just prior to World War 2. Use of the momson lung for emergency submarine rescues is featured as well as the training tank structures of new london, ct , submarine base.
The film also has exceptional footage of the US Fleet, including USS Cinccinatti, Faragut Class destroyers and many battleships.
One can also hear the men singing the Sub Division 9 song.
If one overlooks the mushy stuff (as dennis the menace might say), this is a fine historical document of the US navy as it was preparing for war.
