The Flying Missile

Decorated submarine commander Commander (rank) William Talbot's (Glenn Ford) boat the ''USS Bluefin'' (actually the ''USS Cusk''<ref name="usscusk"></ref>) is on manoeuvers with the goal of simulating sinking the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41). The ''Midway'' is carrying some politicians to view the test firing of a JB-2 missile from its flight deck. Sighting the carrier, the ''Bluefin'' attempts a simulated torpedo attack but is detected and "sunk" by a depth charge attack from a destroyer.
