Dull in imagery and contrast, DOS 'Operation hideout' ends, and 23 volunteers who've spent 2 months sealed below-decks see the sky again. This research project on seamen's reaction to prolonged submerged conditions will determine the personnel factor in the first atomic submarine. Establishing shot - The submarine Haddock is surfaced and docked. MCUS - The crew is just taking it easy, laying in their bunks and looking at pictures, writing letters or just chatting. MCUS - The crew breathing into air devices. MCUS - Doctor asking one of the navy men what he eats for breakfast and if he gained any weight. His answer to the doctors was that he ate a lot and has not gained any weight. MCUS - The naval men coming out through the port hold and standing on the deck of the submarine.
