A combat picture was virtually a license to print money in 1942, and RKO Radio's The Navy Comes Through was no exception. Most of the film takes place on the ramshackle old merchant-marine freighter, skippered by Captain McCall (Ray Collins). The captain and his stalwart crew-the most stalwart of which are Mallory (Pat O'Brien), Sands (George Murphy), Babe (Jackie Cooper), Tarriba (Desi Arnaz) and Berringer (Max Baer Sr.)-keep busy by blowing German bombers and U-boats to smithereens. The crewmen cap their accomplishments by capturing a German supply ship and using it against its own navy.

Drawing on eyewitness accounts form survivors, expert testimony, rare photos and military documents from the battle, GREATEST RAIDS relives the events of April 22nd, 1918, when a flotilla of British warships led by the cruiser HMS Vindictive set sail for the fortified harbor of Zeebrugge, defended by coastal batteries and a deadly mole, a seawall bristling with guns. The most important ships in the attacking force, however, were unarmed. Two old ferries served as blockships, to be sunk at the harbor mouth and trap the German submarines inside. At a cost of 600 killed and wounded out of the total crew of 1,300 taking
part in the raid, they achieved their goal, and the sheer audacity of the operation helped lift morale during a dark time in the conflict.
