James Caan is a Canadian naval officer who is assigned to secretly train English sailors for a new midget submarine in a remote part of northern England. They learn how to operate the tiny sub and other aspects of military life. The Germans occasionally buzz them with planes and stage one secret attack by paratroopers. The subs eventually become operational and they are used to attack a German ship hiding in Norway. The plot never really becomes engaging, even the final battle is a bit anticlimactic, but the underwater scenes in particular do stand out. Caan is his usual subdued self, maybe not the best personality for the lead in an action movie.
