Short description
Maverick Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Dodge will never be a textbook officer, but he's a brilliant seaman who's always wanted to command a nuclear submarine — he's been given one last chance to clean up his record. Unfortunately, Admiral Graham, his nemesis, would rather sink the fleet than give Dodge his own boat. So, Graham stacks the deck against him and assigns Dodge to the Stingray, a diesel-powered WW2 submarine that can barely keep afloat. To make matters worse, Dodge's crew is a collection of maladjusted, mistake-prone misfits. Then, he's tagged the "enemy" in a crucial war game, and ordered to take on the U.S. Navy's best.
What's left behind the scenes
- The "Stingray" in the film was actually filmed on the museum ship "Pampanito," a World War II-era Balao-class submarine.
- The USS Orlando (registration SSN-852) is a fictional Los Angeles-class submarine. There is no submarine with that name or registration in the US Navy. All footage was shot on various submarines of this class.
- In some countries, the film is titled "Pipe Dreams", in Hungary – "Fire Under Water", and in Latin America – "Crazys on Board".
- The shot of the "Orlando" surfacing was taken from the film "The Hunt for Red October" (1990).
- In some countries, the film is called “The Smoker's Visions” (Pipe Dreams), in Hungary – “Fire Under Water”, and in Latin America – “Crazys on Board”.
- The shot of the “Orlando” rising was taken from the film “The Hunt for Red October” (1990).
