Captain Harmon stood on the bridge of his naval destroyer, eyeing the movements of all hands on deck. Often known as "Rockhead" because of his tendency to disregard official orders, he is notified that DE 407 has been torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, so he issues orders to go after that sub. Reaching the location of the sinking, he was notified that sonar had picked up a sub just below the surface, oddly sending out messages in dots and dashes. Not waiting to verify the identity of the ship, he ended up sinking an American submarine!
