Title: The Human Torpedo!

Synopsis: A new "tinfish tender" on a sub is assigned torpedoes 1 and 2. He waits for the order as battle with a Japanese cruiser rages above and below. But when he fires his torps, the first one circles and damages the sub's rudder, and the second bumps along the hull. Feeling it's his fault, the sailor dons frogman gear and guides the torp through depth charges and shellfire to sink the Japanese cruiser. The sub's "secret weapon" is a "human torpedo"!
