The show opens with Harm jogging in DC. So is President Clinton, who actually appears in the opening. A helicopter drops down, but it is for Harm, not Clinton.
The problem is that a nerd (Dirk) has taken control of a sub (Tigershark) by threatening to use a torpedo, under his control through technical wizardry, to blow up something (later determined to be a British cruise ship with 600 passengers).
It seems Dirk was a government employee who invented an English/Japanese translator but got nothing in return but his paycheck.
There is a lot of antilawyer banter between Dirk and the JAG folks. Dirk's real threat seems to be not sinking the ship but rather all the resulting law suits "feeding frenzy of PI lawyers". Yes, there is a line about the (non-existent) Princeton law school.
This is not one of the better written JAG scripts. Clinton was wise to jog away
