The story

On Christmas Eve, the submarine USS Copperfin, under the command of Captain Cassidy, departs Mare Island Naval Shipyard on a secret mission to the Aleutian Islands where they take meteorologist Lieutenant Raymond aboard.

As they cross the Pacific the Copperfin shoots down two attacking two Japanese floatplanes.

Tommy Adams kills the Japanese pilot, but blames his slow reaction for Mike's death.
