The Murmansk run was considered the most treacherous and dangerous run for any ship to make, but the "Bunker Hill" vowed to make it nonetheless. One seaman, named Bragg, was a real pain to the other crew members, always complaining of being tired and cold, and when he took over watch one night, he decided to find a comfy place and have a cigarette. Unfortunately for all aboard, an enemy submarine spotted the glow of his cigarette and torpedoed the ship.
