Outline

Admiral Chegwidden tries to prevent a salvage hunter from recovering a submarine that disappeared just before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour in federal court, and after that effort fails he begrudgingly accompanies the salvage hunter who retrieves the intact log book from a safe aboard the sub. The log indicates a message was sent that they had encountered the Japanese fleet. The Admiral seeks to find out if the missing message may have been hidden due to a long-forgotten conspiracy. Bud defends an overweight sailor who is a computer genius and wants to stay in the Navy.
