"Danger in the Deep" is the 29th Thunderbirds story, originally published in TV21 and TV Tornado between issues 239 and 242.
It was the last Thunderbirds story to be published in TV21 before the magazine merged with Joe 90: Top Secret to create the new publication TV21 & Joe 90.
Synopsis[]
The World Navy's secret submarine F32 is out on a missiles test in the Pacific Ocean when one of its missile tubes jams and the explosive detonates while still inside. With the submarine perilously balancing on the edge of the Manafu Trench, an emergency call goes out from the office of the World President to International Rescue for urgent assistance. But the rescue will not be a simple one - if the submarine falls into the trench, it will come to rest far below the operating depths of Thunderbird 4, and enemy ships are on their way looking to capture the stricken sub.
