The Twentieth Century swept in on a tide of Progress - with great advances in communications and transport. Society was still class-ridden, and at that time, Britain was still building 50% of the world's merchant ships. In the quest for speed, Cunard had built the largest and fastest liners in Lusitania and Mauritania. But The White Star Company opted for safety and comfort. They planned a new breed of huge liners which would be the safest and most luxurious afloat. The Olympic was first and the Titanic followed. Modifications gave here a greater tonnage than her sister. She was a floating palace, the biggest and - it seemed - the safest ship in the world. Her tragic maiden voyage was to bring about key changes in the law and mode of sea travel. This was not just another shipwreck - it was an End of an Era!

II Guerra Mundial. La marina de guerra británica se encuentra amenazada por el acorazado alemán Tirpitz. Con una gran potencia de fuego, sobretodo sus ochos cañones de 381 milímetros con alcance de hasta 34 kilómetros, este acorazado podría acabar fácilmente con sus líneas de suministros marítimos, siendo este un riesgo que Inglaterra no puede consentir. Resguardado en el fiordo de Trondheim, Noruega, es imposible atacarlo con una oportunidad de éxito. Pero el Comandante Fraser (John Mills) propone un ingenioso y arriesgado plan. Su idea consiste en llegar a Trondheim camuflados con un pesquero noruego y una vez próximos al objetivo usar tres submarinos de bolsillo experimentales que deberán depositar bajo su casco varias cargas explosivas subacuáticas.
