at the rate of two knots.
1:47:03
The reciprocating
stabilizer mechanism...

1:47:06
the high-voltage
acid batteries...

1:47:09
the multi-stage compressor...
ballast tank trimmer...

1:47:13
the air pump which filters
and recirculates the air.

1:47:17
How charming!
1:47:18
The air pump, ma'am?
1:47:20
Canaries!
Must make the crew feel at home.

1:47:23
Yes, ma'am.
1:47:25
These are for firing
the torpedoes...

1:47:27
which are accurate
up to as much as 1 20 feet...

1:47:29
the telescope for scanning
the surface of the water...

1:47:32
But where is the glass bottom?
1:47:34
The what, ma'am?
1:47:37
The glass bottom!
1:47:38
You know...to observe the fish.
1:47:41
And the plants and the cockles.
1:47:43
That's not quite
the idea, ma'am.

1:47:45
H.M.S. Jonah has been
commissioned as a warship.

1:47:48
A warship?
1:47:57
Stop that noise!
1:47:58
Stop it!
1:48:00
Ma'am, if l may explain--
1:48:02
You had better!
1:48:03
The admiralty
regards this craft...

1:48:05
as the ultimate weapon
in naval warfare.

1:48:07
lt can seek out enemy ships...
1:48:08
and destroy them
with those torpedoes...

1:48:09
while remaining
completely invisible.

1:48:12
You mean it can fire
at other vessels...

1:48:15
while under water?
1:48:16
Yes, ma'am.
1:48:17
Without any warning?
1:48:18
That is correct, ma'am.
1:48:19
Without showing her colors?
1:48:21
lndeed, ma'am.
1:48:22
Mr. Holmes, we are not amused.
1:48:27
lt is unsportsmanlike,
it is un-English...

1:48:30
and it is in very poor taste!
1:48:33
We will have none of it!
1:48:36
l beg your pardon, ma'am.
1:48:40
Sometimes we despair
at the state of the world.

1:48:44
What will scientists
think of next?

1:48:47
That's precisely it, ma'am.
1:48:49
At this very moment...
1:48:50
the Germans,
under Count von Zeppelin...

1:48:52
are experimenting
with a dirigible.

1:48:54
A dirigible?
And what, pray, is that?

1:48:57
A rigid balloon
which could fly over London...

1:48:59
and drop a bomb
on Buckingham Palace.
