Storyline
An aircraft carrier is sent on a decoy mission around the Pacific, with orders to avoid combat, thus lulling Japanese alertness before the battle of Midway. All the men have their individual worries and concerns, but become increasingly frustrated at their avoidance of combat, for reasons unknown to them. But in the end, all get their chance to fight.—Rod Crawford

Short Review
It's one of those Hollywood's propaganda films. Luckily, most of them had good directors. [Full review in Spanish]
