World War II rages across the Pacific and Lt. Cmdr. Duke E. Gifford is in the thick of it. He evacuates children from enemy-held islands. Oversees the development of torpedoes at Pearl Harbor. And prowls the depths in the submarine Thunderfish for a chance to aim his improved "tin fish" - torpedoes - at the enemy. John Wayne plays Gifford in Operation Pacific. "I'm no theory man. I'm a line officer," Gifford barks. He backs it up with lots of bite in several feverish sea battles. He's also a man of heart with a loving wife at home (Patricia Neal).

This introduction with the kids is excellent, it's a shame that it didn't last a little longer, because it had potential, I would have liked it if there was more. But that romance in this war drama, which isn't very cruel or dramatic, works quite well. I know I'm biased towards Duka, but he just elevates even a fairly ordinary movie. And besides, he chose or was chosen great partners.
