Biography[]

James Hunt is a crew member aboard the HMS Ranger, one of Britain's four nuclear submarines, who appears to have been chief of the watch; in charge of the submarine's ballast, air and water systems. While cruising at a depth of 500ft the vessel begins to violently shake; its electromechanical systems jammed by Karl Stromberg's submarine-hunting Liparus supertanker. The Ranger is forced to the surface, where it is swallowed by the tanker. Hunt remains a prisoner on-board the Liparus until James Bond liberates the crew. His commanding officer, Talbot, leads a raid on the ship's armory and provides weapons for the newly liberated British, American and Soviet sailors. He participates in the battle for control of the ship and joins the Navigation Officer in an ill-fated assault on the fortified control room, where he is mowed down by machine-gun fire.
