Operation Spleen (9/18/78 or 9/25/78)

For its second tour, the Sea Tiger is outfitted with a new skipper, executive officer (Randolph Mantooth) and a mostly new crew. It also has a new mission - rescuing downed fliers - and three nurses to care for them. But on the first cruise it's the captain who needs treatment, as he suffers a ruptured spleen. Which leaves the command of the Sea Tiger to the bumbling Lt. Bender.

Big Deal on Kaloa Street (10/9/78)

A new crewman of Japanese descent receives a Remember-Peal-Harbor reception when he's piped aboard the Sea Tiger. The whole crew gets in such an uproar that bungling Nurse Crandall is force to use her sedative loaded needle on them. Pat O'Brien: Peter Kwong.

Cram Course (10/16/78)

Untrained Lt. Bender (Mantooth) is threatened with being bounced off the Sea Tiger unless he passes the executive officer's examination.

Don't Drink the Shimbakka (6/1/79)

An island chieftan cries dishonor when his daughter is discovered in Bender's room after a drunken night out. While Bender (Mantooth) insists he did nothing to her, the navy demands a court martial of Haller unless her true love, Dobritch, does make her an honest woman and marry her.

Talent Show (6/8/79)

Bender (Mantooth) conducts a talent search among the Sea Tiger's no talent crew in hopes of sending someone to the contest finals in Honolulu - and maybe even a winner back to the States.

As son-in-law of an ailing native chieftain, Dobritch becomes wise and caring Chief Manakoa, who intends to end the Navy's economic exploitation of his people.

You Owe Me One (6/29/79)
