When the Navy locates a WWII era-sub presumed lost with all hands for 59 years, a treasure hunter named Jack Riggins goes to court to claim the salvage rights. Riggins wants to search for proof that the US hid information about whether the sub spotted the Japanese before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It soon is discovered that the sub did spot the attacking fleet, did send a message off, and that message was relayed on to Washington. Can the JAG team learn why the message wasn't acted upon so many years ago, and at the same time prevent Riggins from salvaging the sub?
