A rusty sub. A rebel commander. A renegade crew. When destiny called, they should have hung up.

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.

Mission: Rohr frei!

Was passiert, wenn ein vertrottelter U-Boot-Captain, eine noch dümmere Mannschaft und ein museumsreifer Kahn zusammentreffen? Diese explosive Mischung sorgt für das schrägste und abgefahrenste Abenteuer der Navy-Geschichte. Lt. Thomas Dodge, der die Intelligenz eines Rollmopses besitzt, erhält von Admiral Graham das Kommando über ein U-Boot, mit dem er wichtige US-Militärhäfen einnehmen soll, ohne dass die eigene Flotte es bemerkt. Dodge ahnt nicht, dass Graham diese Mission nur plant, um die Angriffe medienwirksam mit modernen Schiffen zu stoppen. Er erhält eine Crew, die aus den unfähigsten Marines besteht, die in der Navy herumdümpeln und sein Gefährt ähnelt einer verrosteten Sardinenbüchse. Somit sind alle Voraussetzungen erfüllt, diese Operation zur "Mission Rohrkrepierer" werden zu lassen.

Y a-t-il un commandant pour sauver la Navy ?
  • a.k.a. Touche Pas à Mon Périscope

Malgré l'opposition de l'amiral Graham, fondée sur ses états de services douteux, le commandant Dodge hérite du commandement du sous-marin USS Stingray... un véritable fer à repasser. Avec un équipage hétéroclite, il mène avec succès une première mission simulée, s'attirant la haine de Graham. La guerre est déclarée, pratiquement pour de vrai !

Il capitano di fregata Thomas Dodge sogna da una vita di poter, un giorno, assumere il comando di un sommergibile nucleare.

Il capitano viene considerato dai suoi superiori un tipo stravagante e spericolato.
