:59:01
Thank you.
:59:06
This is a report on the
Ark Royal's air search.
:59:10
They haven't found a thing.
:59:12
Better tell Captain Shepard.
:59:13
Yes, sir.
:59:15
Also, two of Ark Royal's aircraft...
:59:17
failed to return to the carrier.
:59:19
No need to tell him that,
I should think.
:59:22
By the way, how would you like
a trip to America?
:59:25
America, sir?
:59:26
The admiralty's sending a mission over...
:59:29
Two regular officers and a Wren officer.
:59:31
The board picked you as first choice.
:59:34
It sounds very exciting.
:59:35
There will be no change, of course...
:59:38
until this Bismarck thing is settled.
:59:40
Aye aye, sir. Thank you very much.
:59:43
Yes, it would have to be
long-range aircraft...
:59:46
Catalinas, I should think.
:59:48
Yes, that's right. Call me back.
:59:50
Shepard.
:59:51
Sir?
:59:52
Seems our forces
are very heavily committed...
:59:54
to a single course of action.
:59:56
Is that based on the definite knowledge
that Bismarck...
1:00:00
is headed for a French port?
1:00:01
On definite knowledge?
No, sir.
1:00:04
It's based on my summing up...
1:00:06
of the general situation.
1:00:08
It was a decision that had to be made.
1:00:11
I hope you're right, Shepard.
1:00:12
I hope to God you're right.
1:00:15
A report from Ark Royal, sir.
1:00:17
They haven't found anything.
1:00:18
All right.
1:00:20
Are you off now, Miss Davis?
1:00:22
Yes, sir. My watch ends at 7:00.
1:00:24
I seem to have a lot of work
to do.
1:00:27
Could you stay and help me out?
1:00:29
Of course. I have a dinner date...
1:00:31
but that's not until 9:00.
1:00:33
Let me have the latest
information...
1:00:35
on available aircraft
in Force H.
1:00:36
Aye aye, sir.
1:00:38
"Coastal command will activate
two crossover air patrols.
1:00:40
"The northern-most will cover
possible enemy courses...
1:00:43
"from Brest to La Rochelle.
1:00:45
The southern-most
will cover La Rochelle
to Cape Finisterre."
1:00:48
If you'll coordinate that
with Coastal Command...
1:00:51
I'll get on with the business
of Force H...
1:00:54
and you can enjoy your dinner date.
1:00:57
At half-past one in the morning, sir?
1:00:59
Oh, I'm sorry.
