In late 1943 the U.S. attack transport PA-22 Belinda set sail for training maneuvers at Pearl Harbour with a ragtag troop of sailors and officers. With the war still raging, Captain J.S. Hawks (Jeff Chandler) and Lieutenant Dave MacDougall (George Nader) must turn a motley crew of unseasoned seamen into a shipshape fighting force. When a squad of Japanese kamikazes attack their vessel, every man must prove his worth if they are to survive and save the Belinda from a watery grave. (official distributor synopsis)
