This British film concerns the rescue and salvage tug boat service operating in the Atlantic during World War two. Most of the film has full size tug boats and a submarine in action but for a few shots the action is depicted using some very creditable miniatures. Most of the miniature work is cargo ships on fire. There is one sequence where the tug boat rams the submarine and an air attack early on featuring a Junkers aircraft.
