"Stand by for action! We are about to launch Stingray! Anything can happen in the next half hour!" These words, accompanied by a montage of action scenes and a rapid "battle stations" drumbeat get each episode off to a rousing start.
Stingray, a highly sophisticated combat submarine built for speed and manoeuvrability, is the flagship of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), a 21st Century security organisation based at Marineville in the year 2065. She is capable of speeds of up to 600 knots and advanced pressure compensators allow her to submerge to depths of over 36,000 feet. Marineville is located somewhere near the west Californian coast of the United States. In the event of attack, the entire base can descend on hydraulic jacks into underground bunkers. Marineville is 10 miles inland, and Stingray is launched from the base's "Pen 3" through a tunnel leading to the Pacific Ocean. "Action Stations", "Launch Stations" and "Battle Stations" are sounded not by sirens but by a rapid drum-beat (composed and recorded by series composer Barry Gray), played over the Marineville public address system.
The pilot of Stingray is the square-jawed Captain Troy Tempest (modelled on James Garner), accompanied by Dixie navigator "Phones" Sheridan, so called because of his job as Stingray's hydrophones operator. His real name, George Sheridan, is referred to in the show's publicity material, but is never mentioned on-screen. Troy and Phones board Stingray by sitting down in their side-by-side command chairs in the stand-by lounge, which are lowered rapidly into the submarine on long tubular poles (called injector tubes). An additional seat and pole is situated just behind theirs, for use by a third crew member (usually Marina) or a passenger. They take their orders from the crusty, hoverchair-bound Commander Sam Shore, whose daughter Atlanta Shore is also a WASP operative and is enamoured of Troy.
