Alma Carroll's debut.

Obviously, this movie was made right after the Japanese attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor and intended to be morale boosting, rather than factual. In World War II, aircraft carriers came into their own as the #1 capital ship and no one understood this better than the Japanese Imperial Navy. Carriers going into combat would be surrounded by accompanying vessels, including destroyer escorts, as a battle group. They would not be dropping depth charges or chasing submarines.

Of interest to historians.

It's easy to dismiss today the "slanty eyed Japs" statements and atmosphere in this film (why is "Kraut" not deemed "racist"?). However this took place only four years after the Imperial Japanese carried out the most appalling atrocities in China ( See here. WARNING EXPLICIT PHOTOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre#Massacre ). Compare with similar ISIS/Daesh atrocities and Presidents Trump's statements about Jihadist terrorists being "dirty, sneaky rats" and this film takes on an interesting dimension. At one point the intelligence agent refers to the Japanese 5th columnists as "rats". So where this film is relegated to obscure Freeview channels, deemed to be of exclusive interest to war movie die hard's, it actually throws a light on the peculiar modern tendency to deem criticisms and lurid remarks about the enemy as "racist" when lives are at stake. As noted above, the plot, acting and effects are not top notch but this piece has an interesting 1940's feel to it that can appeal to an audience beyond that of the historian.
