Gerry Anderson's third SF supermarionation
saga told the adventures of the WASPs (the
World Aquanaut Security Patrol) as they
explored the oceans and kept the world safe
from a variety of perils. The WASP's main
weapon was Stingray, a super-sub under the
command of Troy Tempest. Troy's copilot was
Phones, and they were often joined on
missions by Marina, a princess of the
undersea kingdom of Pacifica.

Stingray revolves around a mysterious man
known only as Ray, who travels the land in a
black '65 Stingray Corvette. His background
is unknown. However, someone can contact him
by placing a newspaper or computer ad to
barter for a Stingray Corvette. He typically
helps those who can't help themselves, but
always asks a price: he requires that they
help him out one time, sometime in the
future, no questions asked. A favor for a
favor. Ray has no friends but many allies and
grateful customers, and only fleeting
romantic relationships. He doesn't do repeat
favors (although he will sometimes accept
referrals from former clients). His
background is unknown, although he is an
expert martial artist, spy, and infiltrator.

"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.
