NAVY LOG : "Nightmare off Brooklyn"1957
NAVY LOG was a series that ran from 1955 to 1958. It was an anthology series based on real stories and exploits of the U.S. Navy during WW2, The Korean War and the then current, Cold War. The series ran for a total of 102 episodes. The series features plenty of just unclassified footage of various naval actions etc. The Navy was more than happy to help with tech and film footage.
This particular episode is the 29th of season two.
The episode starts out in in a bar in New York. Seaman Stanley Clements has had a snoot full and is talking about his ship. Clements works with the new guided missile systems on-board the Navy's new cruisers. Sitting down the bar listening to every word is, Simon Scott. A Navy pal of Clements grabs him up and they both head back to their ship.
Scott pays for his drink and hits the phone booth for a quick call. He has some interesting info the "boss" can use. Next thing we see is Scott meeting with several other men with Slavic sounding names. Passwords and countersigns are exchanged before the men have a conference.
The men are going to board the guided missile ship and do a spot of sabotage. They pull out some real US Navy uniforms and head for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Scott, dressed up like an officer soon has the officer of the day, George Cisar, convinced he is there on an inspection.
Cisar shows Scott to the wardroom while he goes to get the second in command, Deforest Kelly. The rest of the Slavic types board as ordinary seaman. Once Cisar has left to fetch Kelly, Scott hotfoots down into the ship looking for the missile storage compartment.
When Kelly can't find Scott, he senses there is something amiss here. The crew is soon on the hunt for Scott etc. Scott and his bunch are captured just outside the armaments storage. There are a few blows exchanged before the spy types are dragged in front of the ship's Captain, Robert Williams.
Now a high ranking officer from Fleet Headquarters shows on the scene. It seems that the whole thing was a test by the Navy to check on the ship's security.
Also in the cast are, Art Batanides, George Keymas, Scott Peters and Jerry Summers. Veteran low budget film and television helmsman, Jean Yarbrough directs. One time Oscar nominated Frank Phillips handles the cinematography duties.
