World War Il rages across the Pacific and Lt. Cmdr. Duke E. Gifford is in the thick of it.
He evacuates children from enemy-held islands. Oversees the development of torpedoes
at Pearl Harbor. And prowls the depths in the submarine Thunderfish for a chance to aim his
improved "tin fish"-torpedoes - at the enemy.
John Wayne plays Gifford in Operation Pacific. "I'm no theory man. I'm a line officer,"
Gifford barks. He backs it up with lots of bite in several feverish sea battles. He's also a man of heart with
a
loving wife at home (fellow Academy Award® winner Patricia Neal). Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood,
World War Il commander of all US. Pacific submarines, was technical advisor for this adventure packing real you-are-there thrills!
