:46:02
(radar operator) Convoy
now bearing 3-1-3. Range 7,000 yards.
:46:07
Are we gonna set up
on the leading ship, sir?
:46:10
That's a decoy. Shallow craft.
Used to draw fire away from the convoy.
:46:15
You could shoot ten fish.
They'd only run under it.
:46:27
There! There she is,
pulling up to the convoy!
:46:29
- The Akikaze.
- Yes.
:46:31
She'll keep astern of both columns
until they zig.
:46:34
Look at her cut through there!
Must be making 30 knots!
:46:37
Doesn't stay in position long enough
to give you a target.
:46:40
Not unless he's coming toward you.
:46:42
Take over in the conning tower. Track
the next-to-last ship in the port column.
:46:47
We'll give you a bearing.
Right standard rudder!
:46:50
Very well.
:46:56
This is the Captain. The convoy we've
been waiting for is on our starboard bow.
:47:01
The plan of attack is as follows.
First, we'll strike a freighter going in.
:47:06
If that doesn't bring
the Akikaze toward us...
:47:08
... we'll attack the freighter nearest him.
:47:11
When the Akikaze does head toward us,
we'll dive and give him two fish...
:47:15
... at 1500 yards, just like the Momo.
:47:17
Let's go! All ahead standard.
:47:20
- All ahead standard, sir.
- Very well.
:47:30
How's the target course
and speed check with the TDC?
:47:33
Course checks. Speed, one knot slower.
:47:39
Plane contact, sir.
:47:42
(bleeping)
:47:45
Captain, radar's picked up enemy planes.
:47:48
Lookouts, planes coming in.
Watch for them.
:47:51
Aye aye, sir.
:47:53
- 15 miles. Range closing.
- Planes 15 miles. Range closing.
