- Hi, Sparks.
- Hi, Wolf.
:11:11
- Here's your other volunteer.
- Glad to have you with me.
:11:14
- Thank you, sir.
- No "sir" stuff. There won't be time.
:11:18
Well, let's get down to facts.
:11:21
Under the command of Admiral Halsey,
our aircraft carriers...
:11:24
...the Hornet and the Enterprise left the
United States two weeks after we did.
:11:29
They've followed our course.
:11:31
At the present time,
they're approaching this position.
:11:35
The purpose of this combined operation
is the first bombing of Japan.
:11:42
Sit down.
:11:45
Lieutenant Raymond
will tell you your mission.
:11:48
Bombing planes must have information
necessary to a successful operation.
:11:52
The weather, shore installations...
:11:54
...barrage balloon positions and the
number and location of Japanese ships.
:11:59
We'll get that information to them
by radio.
:12:02
After you are ashore, the Copperfin will
proceed as near as possible to Tokyo.
:12:07
We'll obtain data
that our fliers need on that city.
:12:10
- That will be transferred to you.
- Pardon me, sir...
:12:13
...how will we know our way around?
- I was raised in Japan.
:12:17
We've chosen a spot
that I know very well.
:12:19
- Isn't the coast one city after another?
- No.
:12:22
Actually, it's very similar
to that of California.
:12:25
The spot we've picked is a Ionely one.
:12:29
This special clothing
has been provided for you.
:12:32
- Anything wrong, sir?
- Oh, no.
:12:34
We always dim the lights
45 minutes before we surface.
:12:37
It allows our eyes to get accustomed
to the darkness.
:12:40
If you run into any geisha girls on
any porches just out of any bathtubs...
:12:44
...don't pick any roses.
:12:47
Shore party to the conning tower.
:12:50
- Good luck, Wolf.
- Don't forget that bottle of sake.
:12:52
Give the emperor a boot for me,
will you?
:12:55
See that Nita doesn't get Ionesome
while I'm gone.
:12:57
Be good.
:12:59
- So long, guys.
- So long, Wolf.
