Plot

The USS Tiger Shark is a submarine on patrol in the Atlantic Ocean in 1943. A submarine is a Watercraft that can operate independently below water as distinct from a Submersible that has only limited underwater capability Year 1943 ( MCMXLIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (the link will display full 1943 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The submarine is ordered to pick up survivors spotted adrift by a British patrol plane. At the wreckage, they retrieve three lone survivors - a British nurse and two sailors, one wounded - of a British hospital ship that was torpedoed several days earlier. A nurse is responsible—along with other Health care Professionals —for the treatment safety and recovery of acutely or chronically

After that, the Tiger Shark must avoid a German warship attempting to find and destroy them. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. The submarine has several encounters with the German warship and suffers heavy damage from depth charges in the process. Depth Charge is a character in the Beast Wars: Transformers universe

The Commanding Officer of the Tiger Shark, Lieutenant Commander Brice (Bruce Greenwood), discovers that the wounded sailor is actually a German POW, and shoots him because he thinks the German has been causing strange noises to attract the German warship. Stuart Bruce Greenwood (born August 12, 1956) is a Canadian actor Meanwhile, eerie events begin to manifest themselves and seem to be related to the recent death of the previous captain, Commander Winters. Winters had been killed after the Tiger Shark torpedoed and sank a German ship.

Winters had ordered the sub to surface and had then gone topside with his senior officers to make sure the ship had sunk and to see if there were any survivors. According to LT Commander Brice, Winters had wanted a souvenir from the wreck and had fallen and hit his head on the side of the sub while reaching for his souvenir, then fell into the ocean and drowned before he could be rescued. A souvenir (from French, for memory) memento or keepsake is an object a traveler brings home for the memories associated with

However, as the eerie events mount - strange voices are heard, a series of mechanical problems keeps the submarine turning back towards the site of the sunken German ship, and crewmen are killed at an alarming rate from various problems - the British nurse and sailor, and one of the junior officers on the Tiger Shark, begin to suspect that more is going on than just mechanical problems. They also begin to question LT Commander Brice's version of how and why Commander Winters died.
