✎ Suggest a correctionLieutenant Commander Murrell (Robert Mitchum) shows himself to be a match for wily U-boat Kapitän-Leutnant von Stolberg (Curt Jürgens) in a battle of wits that tests both men and their crews. Murrell skillfully stalks the U-boats and subjects them to multiple depth charge attacks. He orders his men to set fires on the deck to make the ship look more damaged than it actually is. The destroyer escort is mortally wounded but still battle capable.
