Operation Petticoat

In this classic 1959 comedy film, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Matt Sherman boards an obsolete diesel submarine, USS Sea Tiger, to lead her to the scrapyard, but a series of misadventures unfolds as he reads his wartime personal logbook in flashback. The story takes place during the Battle of the Philippines in World War II, where Sherman and his new executive officer, Lieutenant Nick Holden, navigate treacherous repairs, scams, and romance amidst the chaos. With its blend of action, comedy, and romance, Operation Petticoat is a lighthearted and entertaining tribute to the bravery and ingenuity of U.S. Navy personnel during wartime.
