Lt. Cmdr. John Lawrence is put in charge of Underwater Demolition Team 4 after his former leader, Lt. Jack Cassidy, is killed in action. The unit's men are distrustful of Lawrence, and the relationship takes a turn for the worse when they brawl with sailors aboard their transport ship. Lawrence is scornfully perceived as afraid when he splits up the platoon and puts team executive officer Lt. Klinger in charge. Lawrence's apparently cowardly action increases the unit's ill will toward him. The men show their acceptance of Lawrence by asking him to sign the portrait they have drawn of Cassidy.
