The Sea Wolves (1980)

The Last Charge of the Calcutta Light Horse

A German spy is passing on information about the location of Allied ships in the neutral harbor of Goa, India, with catastrophic results.

These old soldiers are asked to take to the seas and pull off an unlikely undercover mission.
