Lieutenant Commander Thomas "Tom" Dodge, played by Kelsey Grammer, is a capable and unorthodox U.S. Navy officer who fights to save his career after being saddled with a group of misfit seamen on the rusty, obsolete World War II-era diesel submarine USS Stingray. Despite his nemesis Admiral Graham's attempts to sabotage him, Dodge uses creative tactics to complete a war game test against the Navy's defenses, winning the challenge and securing a command of a nuclear submarine in the process.
