:08:00
She belongs to the chief of the boat.
Good-luck token.
:08:03
The men give her a little... pat
on their way to battle stations.
:08:07
Interesting.
:08:09
I'll get the milk, sir.
:08:15
Ah, submarines. They ruined my liver.
:08:20
Couldn't take one again.
:08:22
Terrible thought. Makes me old.
Makes me antique.
:08:25
- Do you like subs?
- I chose the service, sir.
:08:28
Of course.
:08:34
- Good record.
- Thank you, sir.
:08:36
It's a fact, not a compliment,
so don't thank me!
:08:39
I told you two years ago you were
hot stuff, that you'd have a sub one day.
:08:43
- Remember?
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
:08:45
Well, you're going to, Jim.
:08:47
But not this time out.
:08:49
The Nerka is being assigned
to Commander Richardson.
:08:53
He'll be your skipper for this patrol.
:08:57
You see, Jim, she's going to Area 7.
Richardson is acquainted with the area.
:09:03
7 is a hot spot.
We lost four subs there the last year.
:09:06
All of 'em sunk by an Akikaze
off the Bungo Straits.
:09:10
His sub was the first. The Navy Board
feels he deserves another chance.
:09:14
That command was mine.
Don't they think I can handle her in 7?
:09:17
Of course not.
Your ability isn't being questioned.
:09:20
- Richardson's suggestion...
- Richardson's suggestion?
:09:23
He presented a very strong case.
:09:29
This whole thing
is suddenly very clear to me.
:09:33
- That all, sir?
- That's all.
:09:40
You won't mind if I keep this
out of mothballs, Captain?
:09:43
There are other boats besides the Nerka.
:09:48
Rich?
:09:50
Rich? Hey, be careful!
:09:52
- What's the matter?
- Like me to fix some lemonade?
:09:55
Sure, honey, you go ahead.
I'll be down by the time...
