American naval forces pursue a cruiser that attacks an oil tanker, resulting in an explosion and the rescue of American prisoners of war being held by Japanese forces. Commander Stewart receives sealed orders requiring him to obtain Admiral Halbrook's assistance, leading him to disobey previous commands and navigate dangerous waters. A separate feature, "Always Alert," discusses advances in military technology including new rifle designs, infrared systems, and communications networks developed by the U.S. Army and Air Force.

Contains 3 stories
The Prisoner Returned
8 pp · War

A wounded naval officer escapes a brutal enemy prison camp and makes an impossible vow—to return and free the men left behind. Two hundred forty days later, Lt. Comdr. Steward Mimms commands USS Buckfish back to the island fortress, defying orders to mount his own daring raid on the heavily fortified harbor. As his crew navigates treacherous minefields and enemy patrols, Mimms must transform his personal vendetta into a military operation that could save nine hundred men or doom them all.

The Man Outside
5 pp · War

When a Japanese bomber cripples the USS Ringar in shallow coral waters off a tiny Pacific island in 1943, the trapped submarine crew faces a desperate fight for oxygen—and their only hope lies with Dylan Briggs, an Australian coast-watcher stranded ashore with nothing but his wits and bare hands. Briggs must find a way to signal the stricken sub and help free his trapped countrymen before their air runs out.

Survival!
7 pp · War

Lt. Leo Durkin's fighter jet goes down in the Caribbean during a hurricane, forcing the pilot to ditch in the open ocean with only a life raft and his wits to survive. As a shark circles and a brewing storm closes in, Durkin fights to stay alive long enough for a rescue, calling out an SOS on his battery-powered transmitter. When a Grumman Albatross answers his distress call, an impossible rescue unfolds against the howling gale.
