Assemble your squadron
in the ready room.

:12:05
Aye, aye, sir.
:12:12
Boy, I thought
for a while there...

:12:15
until 1 900...
:12:17
I thought I'd have
to turn back.

:12:19
Maybe you should have.
:12:20
Didn't you see
the wave-off?

:12:22
Yes, sir.
:12:23
Did you think the flagman
was waving bye-bye?

:12:26
To tell you the truth,
I couldn't think.

:12:29
I had my hands
too full of airplane

:12:32
at the time.
:12:33
Oh.
:12:35
But--
:12:38
Oh, men, this is our air officer
Commander Harper.

:13:04
- Thank you.
- Thank you, sir.

:13:06
You've been assigned
to quarters

:13:08
which I hope you find
to your liking.

:13:11
We have some pretty
good men on board.

:13:13
I've been very proud of
all of our squadrons--

:13:16
torpedoes,
bombers, and fighters.

:13:18
I hope
you equal their record.

:13:22
Read that, please,
Mr. Molton.
