:18:01
Is that what you're recommending?
:18:03
Yes, sir.
:18:04
You're willing to gamble
the lives of 20,000 men?
:18:08
I think there's a difference...
:18:10
between a gamble and a calculated risk.
:18:14
Good for you, Shepard.
:18:15
Of course, I realize it's...
:18:18
It's not an easy decision to make.
:18:20
The important ones never are.
:18:24
All right, go ahead...
:18:26
and detach those two ships
from the convoy.
:18:28
Inform Commander-in-Chief,
Home Fleet.
:18:30
Aye aye, sir.
:18:32
[Ship Horn Sounds]
:18:35
They're giving us Victorious
and Repulse.
:18:37
Now we can send Hood
and Prince of Wales out...
:18:40
to support the patrols
in the Greenland area.
:18:42
I want them ready to sail
within an hour.
:18:45
Prince of Wales
has civilian workers aboard.
:18:48
They're making adjustments
to the gun turrets.
:18:50
If they don't finish their work,
they'll sail with the ship.
:18:53
Aye aye, sir.
:18:55
As far as the rest of the fleet...
:18:57
we'll wait for definite information.
:18:59
I suppose my nerves
can stand it if yours can.
:19:02
I've just talked to Captain Shepard.
:19:04
The visibility over the coast of Norway...
:19:06
is absolutely nil.
:19:08
She may be there. She may not.
:19:10
What's the latest forecast?
:19:11
Pretty bad, I'm afraid, sir.
:19:13
Looks like two days
of very thick weather.
:19:21
The weather report is
very good, Admiral...
:19:24
Two days of heavy overcast.
:19:26
Good news, is it not so, Captain?
:19:29
It is, sir.
:19:30
Thank you, Bernhardt.
:19:37
We have a most interesting
chess game here, Lindemann.
:19:39
The important moves
this time are at the opening.
:19:42
To break out into the Atlantic
will not be easy, sir.
:19:46
Yes, but we have the advantage...
:19:49
because they do not know
what we are going to do.
:19:51
We can move out immediately...
:19:53
or we can hide for a while...
:19:55
under this beautiful overcast.
:19:57
Also, we have a choice
of four different exits.
