The film is famous for two iconic twists that turn the Sea Tiger into a floating comedy club: The Grant Mystique: Operation Petticoat (1959)

Desperate to get back into the war, Sherman recruits Lieutenant Nick Holden (Curtis), a dandyish con artist with a talent for "procuring" supplies by any means necessary. Holden's shady dealings—which include stealing an entire office's furniture—are the only things keeping the dilapidated sub afloat. The Chaos: Pink Subs and Shipwrecked Nurses

The movie is told through a nostalgic flashback as Rear Admiral Matt Sherman (Grant) visits the USS Sea Tiger one last time before it's sent to the scrapyard. We go back to 1941, where the submarine has been sunk at the dock during an air raid.
