"Graduated from Princeton University" and "Top 5% of the Naval School" is a good background and grade for a boy entering the Navy. However, as a novice, he had to start from scratch when he entered the Navy.
"Kane" is a target tug, auxiliary type warship. When entering the Kane for the first time, our protagonist Keith was faced with low morale on the ship - eaten banana peels piled up on the deck and crew on deck doing laundry. Under the influence of this ethos, Keith was also sloppy in his tasks, and was once criticized by the captain for missing a superior telegram.
"Everyone is so lazy, why are they only strict with me?" Keith felt aggrieved and aggrieved. But he endured.
After a while, a new captain arrived. The captain was meticulous in his work. But right away, he revealed his own mental flaws - he pursued unimportant things to the end, and made mistakes like a novice when making important decisions.
Keith witnesses the moment the ship turns into a lunatic asylum. The moment he started thinking about the ship, his connection to the ship grew stronger.
The ship encountered a deadly typhoon. In order to complete the task in time, the captain would rather destroy the ship and follow the original channel. The second-in-command, Maris, decided to resign the captain to change the course, and Keith supported him. In times of crisis he took responsibility and became a real man.
Keith grew up a bit more old-fashioned - hated the ship when he first arrived, then took responsibility for the ship as he got to know it better. His feelings for the ship were first and then rising. But the old-fashioned plot will be watched as long as it is well shot. I'd like to give two stars to the director and cameraman who made the story well, and one star to the actor who played the lad.
