Admiral Danver, best friend of World Aquanaut Security Patrol Commander
Shore, wants to cross the Ocean like in the olden days, per old fashioned
sailing ship, with no fancy gadgets and nothing. And to that end, he wants
to hire the Patrol's top men, Troy Tempest and Phones. But Shore wants
Danver's trip monitored, so he has Tempest pretend to be sick so he can
later follow Danver's galleon per supersub Stingray.
So Danver sets sail, apparently with a crew of only two, Phones and
shanghaied World Aquanaut Security Patrol Lt. Fisher ... and before you
know it, they get into a thunderstorm, Danver bangs his head, and now he
thinks he really is the captain of an old fashioned sailing ship - and to
prove his point, he maroons his crew, all two of them, in a lifeboat in
the middle of the Ocean ... where they are soon enough picked up by
Stingray of course.
Later Stingray tries to catch up with the galleon, but despite not
having any crew left, Danver puts up a mighty fight, firing his cannons at
the shortest of intervals - so Troy Tempest goes for a little swim,
secretly climbs aboard the galleon while Danver is busy firing his
cannons, and overcomes him, banging his head once more and turning him
back to normal. Thing is, now Danver has forgotten everything and
considers himself to be a great sea-captain ...
Some nide miniature work - especially the galleon is a beauty - cannot
overcome the very weak plot that despite a sea battle by and large lacks
excitement and is just too childish to be wholly convincing. And how a
galleon of some size can be maneuvred with only two crewmen, or even worse
without them is just beyond me.
