'''''Down Periscope''''' is a 1996 American [[military comedy]] [[submarine film]] directed by [[David S. Ward]], produced by Robert Lawrence, and starring [[Kelsey Grammer]], [[Lauren Holly]], and [[Rob Schneider]] along with [[Bruce Dern]], [[Harry Dean Stanton]], [[William H. Macy]], and [[Rip Torn]] in supporting roles. Released by [[20th Century Fox]] on March 1, 1996, the film focuses on Lieutenant Commander Thomas Dodge (played by Grammer), a capable, if somewhat unorthodox, [[U.S. Navy]] officer who fights to save his career after being saddled with a group of misfit seamen who have been brought together as the crew of his first command, USS ''Stingray'', a rusty, obsolete [[World War II]]-era diesel submarine that is the focus of a special naval [[military exercise|war game]], supervised by a bitter rival (played by Dern) who is fighting to bury Dodge's career by any means necessary.
