:39:01
Captain?
:39:04
Take her down, sir?
:39:09
Take her down to 100 feet.
:39:11
100 feet. Aye aye, sir.
:39:13
Five degrees down bubble.
Take her to 100 feet.
:39:16
Secure from battle stations
when we level off.
:39:19
- Come right to course 2-8-0.
- Right to course 2-8-0, sir.
:39:22
Very well. Mr Cartwright,
take over the conn.
:39:25
Yes, sir.
:39:27
What's he doing? What's going on?
:39:34
- Give me a line on course 2-8-0.
- Sir?
:39:36
- A line on course 2-8-0 now!
- Aye aye, sir.
:39:39
- What's the skipper up...
- Later, Beckman.
:39:43
- Start levelling off.
- Aye aye, sir.
:40:01
There it is. You might as well post it.
:40:04
A whole area to patrol and you pick
the graveyard - the Bungo Straits!
:40:09
It's the only place we can get the Akikaze.
:40:12
The one spot you're ordered to avoid.
:40:14
You make it sound like
a snap decision. It wasn't.
:40:17
That's quite obvious. Passing
a Jap submarine to save your torpedoes.
:40:21
Risking a bow shot. Ducking a convoy
so they can't radio our position.
:40:25
You planned it, all right! You knew it
the day I came to your house!
:40:28
I knew it before that, Jim. I knew it
a year ago when my boat went down.
:40:32
We have explicit orders. We have a crew
that expects the captain to follow them!
:40:36
You know that a captain
can redefine orders...
:40:39
...if he feels he has an advantage.
:40:41
- What advantage?
- You named it. A bow shot.
:40:43
We did it with a Momo.
We can do it again.
:40:46
You call that an advantage when
four subs before us never had a chance?
:40:50
They were detected.
Not even Pearl knows where we are.
:40:53
What about the Japanese navy?
:40:55
No, sir, that's no advantage.
Not in my book.
:40:58
But you're not the captain.
