:53:01
That's the second warning
in three days.
:53:03
"Japanese forces may attack
the Philippines...
:53:06
...Thailand, the Kra Peninsula
and Borneo. "
:53:08
They don't mention us.
:53:10
That's correct. I think it should be
considered significant.
:53:15
Well, gentlemen...
:53:17
...we have a job to do.
:53:20
Washington wants us to send
a squadron of fighters to Midway.
:53:24
And another squadron to Wake.
:53:27
When can you sail?
:53:29
Well, the Enterprise can sail
tomorrow morning.
:53:35
I'll need a day or two. We're just
completing repairs on the Lexington.
:53:39
Hurry things along, John.
:53:41
I want you out there to probe.
:53:43
I want planes up in the air
morning and afternoon.
:53:46
I want a report on any sign
of hostile ships.
:53:50
Understood.
:53:51
Do you want battleships along?
:53:53
Hell, no. They're too slow.
:53:55
If we're gonna probe, let's probe.
:53:57
We don't want anything holding us up.
:53:59
You're right, but I'm not ready
to commit them myself.
:54:03
Not until I know when and where.
:54:05
Do you plan to keep half the fleet
at sea while the carriers are gone?
:54:08
No, it's too risky.
:54:10
I'll have to keep the fleet
here at Pearl while you're away.
:54:14
Get out. Get back as soon as you can.
:54:17
I don't like the idea of having my
battleships without air cover.
:54:21
- Let's get going.
- Yes, sir.
:54:33
Kimmel.
:54:36
Level with me.
:54:38
I want a clear directive.
:54:41
If I run into a Jap ship,
what action do I take?
:54:47
Use your common sense.
:54:52
That's the best damn order I ever had.
:54:58
If I see so much as a sampan there...
