Synopsis
The crew of a German submarine, U-153, abandon their ship after being depth-charged, despite their captain's orders to the contrary. The submarine is then captured with its codebook and log intact and is hastily renovated by the British Navy, which then mans it with a British crew and sends it out to rejoin the Nazi wolfpack. Captained by Lieutenant Commander Tarlton, U-153 finds the pack after several times risking discovery while surfacing for repairs. U-153's message to the British command giving the submarine's position is intercepted by the Germans; and in the battle that ensues, U-153 torpedoes one of the other boats. The head of the pack follows U-153 as it submerges, then attempts to ram U-153 but is destroyed on a shallow reef. A British frigate sights U-153 and also attacks--successfully. U-153's men are rescued by the frigate, whose crew is amazed to find that the prisoners are fellow Britishers.
