"Welcome Aboard"

For the Navy, this is a test of defenses. For Lieutenant Commander Thomas 'Tom' Dodge (Kelsey Grammer), this is a test of mettle. For Lieutenant Emily Lake (Lauren Holly), it is a test of form. And for each of the crew, it is the test of only that which they are capable of performing. Yes, now in the days where anyone can get his or her hands on low-tech equipment, such as diesel subs, are our high-tech defenses ready? Look what happened to Argentina when their submarine broke down in the Falklands War of 1982? Rear Admiral Yancy Graham (Bruce Dern) is betting his reputation on the readiness of the Navy and will go to any length to make sure the intrusion test fails. Now that you know the story, it is not the contest but how the people interact under stress. They did not let any submarine clichés out of this picture. Even the nervy "let's see what depth this will take" scene. Look for my three favorite scenes: When Admiral Graham is welcomed aboard, he looks and says, “What is that supposed to mean?” Lieutenant Lake was almost out of uniform. Executive Officer Martin Pascal is forced to walk the plank.
