[Automatic Weapon Fire]
:11:35
The enemy ships
were sighted coming out of the Baltic...

:11:39
obviously heading out to sea...
:11:41
obviously not in the service
of the king.

:11:43
Now, what have we got over here
at Scapa Flow?

:11:46
Battleships King George V,
Prince of Wales...

:11:49
battle cruiser Hood...
:11:50
a few cruisers and destroyers.
:11:52
The rest of the fleet's
out on convoy escort.

:11:54
It's from Admiral Cunningham, sir.
:11:56
"Situation in Crete is deteriorating.
:11:58
German airborne troops
have captured Maleme Airfield."

:12:04
Why is it we never get
our bad medicine in small doses?

:12:08
Perfect timing for an enemy breakout...
:12:09
in the North Atlantic.
:12:10
Cunningham and his fleet
busy down here in Crete.

:12:13
Sommerville's got his hands full...
:12:15
trying to reinforce Malta
with Force H.

:12:17
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
are up here at Brest.

:12:20
We must keep them covered.
:12:22
And 16 convoys to guard...
:12:24
scattered all over the Atlantic.
:12:27
If we had a hundred more ships...
:12:29
we still wouldn't have enough.
:12:31
Sir, we've just had a signal...
:12:33
from our agent in Norway.
:12:34
The message is incomplete.
:12:36
"Sighted two enemy ships
of Kristiansand at 033 5
sailing due west...

:12:40
Cruiser Prinz Eugen and..."
:12:42
The transmission stopped
abruptly at that point, sir.

:12:44
Did you try to get him back?
:12:46
Yes, sir. No further contact.
:12:51
Where is Kristiansand?
:12:53
Off here, sir.
:12:54
Southern tip of Norway.
:12:55
What do you think, A.C.N.S.?
:12:57
I don't think this man...
:12:59
would have transmitted
in the circumstances...
