That was a major fk-up. Fairly grim film about it. Delivered one of the 2 A-bombs dropped on Japan. Secret mission sort of so when subsequently torpedoed no one went to look for survivors so most of the surviving crew were eaten by sharks - a relatively rare occurrence. Revenge of the shark-fin soup.
Most people probably know it from the Robert Shaw cabin speech in Jaws
