:19:01
Ten-hut!
:19:13
Do the planes have to be
parked like that?
:19:16
Way at the edge of the field.
:19:17
Standard dispersal procedure, general.
:19:19
In case of enemy air attack.
:19:22
There are 130,000 Japanese
on this island.
:19:25
Our main problem is sabotage.
:19:29
It'd be too easy for enemies
to sneak in at night...
:19:32
...and blow up every one of them
if they're left out there.
:19:36
Make a note, Fielder,
we'll have to make changes.
:19:39
Ten-hut.
:19:47
Admiral Halsey's here to see you.
:19:49
Send him in, please.
:19:53
Blast me, break me, court marshal me,
draw and quarter me...
:19:58
...if you think they're gonna
send my ships...
:20:00
...on convoy duty in the Atlantic.
:20:03
Kim, I think they've
gone nuts in Washington.
:20:06
How will I fight
a task force if they send...
:20:09
...my ships to the Atlantic?
:20:11
That damn ocean is a swimming hole
compared to the Pacific.
:20:14
What are we, a fighting fleet
or these toy boats here...
:20:18
...so the Japs
can buy them at Christmas?
:20:21
All right, Bill, now ease it off.
It's not just you.
:20:25
They asked for some
of our tankers too.
:20:28
How do they expect to feed
these wagons...
:20:30
...parked out here on
this land-locked duck pond?
:20:34
You're still planning on rotating
half of them at sea?
:20:37
I was.
:20:38
Look, Kim, you've got to make them
understand what's going on out here.
:20:45
I'm gonna do everything I can, Bill.
:20:49
Even go to the president.
:20:53
By God, I knew there was
at least one man...
:20:56
...in this man's Navy
who hadn't gone nuts.
