:43:01
received news today that HMS Hood...
:43:03
largest warship in the British fleet...
:43:06
and pride of the British navy...
:43:08
has been sunk by the German
battleship Bismarck.
:43:10
From the Hood's
complement of 1,500 men...
:43:13
there were three survivors.
:43:14
In the same engagement...
:43:16
the battleship Prince of Wales
was badly damaged.
:43:18
Two British capital ships
have been put out of commission...
:43:22
and the most powerful
battleship in the world...
:43:24
is now loose on the high seas.
:43:27
It remains to be seen
whether the British navy...
:43:30
has the capability
at this crucial moment...
:43:32
of concentrating enough sea power...
:43:34
to deal with the situation.
:43:36
There is undoubtedly great
rejoicing in Berlin tonight...
:43:39
and also on the Bismarck.
:43:41
Here's to the ship, Lindemann...
:43:43
and here's to us.
:43:47
We have beaten the best they have.
:43:50
Do you realize that?
:43:51
Yes, sir.
:43:52
They will never stop us, not now.
:43:55
You wanted the damage control report.
:43:56
What is it?
:43:58
We received one hit
forward on the port side...
:44:01
over number two fuel tank.
:44:02
We're losing a little oil.
:44:04
Anything serious?
:44:05
No, sir. I would say
the damage is very slight.
:44:07
However, I recommend we put about
and have it repaired.
:44:10
Put about? You mean go home?
:44:14
Yes, sir. We could refuel
at the same time.
:44:17
Are you mad?
:44:19
We have fought our way out
into the Atlantic.
:44:22
This is no time to turn
and run for home.
:44:26
We wouldn't be running.
:44:27
We've won a tremendous victory.
:44:29
It's not the victory that was ordered.
:44:31
You haven't been close
to the high command, Lindemann.
:44:34
Do you know what will happen...
:44:36
when Admiral Raeder
reports the sinking of the Hood?
:44:39
The fuehrer will smile...
:44:41
and everyone else will smile...
:44:42
and then, a few moments later...
:44:44
he'll turn to Raeder with a scowl.
:44:47
"What about the convoys, Raeder?
:44:48
Have they sunk any convoys?"
:44:50
There will still be
plenty of convoys, sir...
:44:53
after we make repairs.
:44:54
Is your ship unmaneuverable, Captain?
:44:56
Are the guns damaged?
Anything out of action?
:44:59
No, sir.
