For Your Eyes Only 1981

In the prologue, Bond is seen visiting the grave of his late wife Tracy Bond; Bond is trapped in a remote-controlled helicopter by a mysterious villain (strongly implied to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld). Bond manages to take control of the helicopter; scoops up the villain (minus his cat) and drops him down a factory chimney to his demise.

In the main story, the British information gathering vessel St Georges, which holds the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC), the system used by the Ministry of Defence to communicate with and coordinate the Royal Navy's fleet of Polaris submarines, is sunk after accidentally trawling an old naval mine in the Ionian Sea. MI6 agent James Bond is assigned by the Minister of Defence, Sir Frederick Gray and MI6 Chief of Staff, Bill Tanner, to retrieve the ATAC before the Soviets, as the transmitter could order attacks by the submarines' Polaris ballistic missiles.
