Matt, we have more planes than pilots.
Can you fly one for me?.
1:52:07
Sure.
1:52:09
MARlNE lNTELLlGENCE
1:52:16
Did you confirm it?.
- Yes, Sir. Fletcher's reply is here.
1:52:20
""Fletcher to Nimitz: Confirm
1st report, 3 enemy carriers afire.""
1:52:24
Hallelujah!
1:52:25
3 of their 1st-line carriers, Admiral!
Isn't that worth a ""hot-diggity-damn""?.
1:52:31
Good advice, Joe, but there's still
that 4th enemy carrier to deal with.
1:52:36
A message from Captain Buckmaster:
The Yorktown's been hit.
1:52:40
Badly?. - Yes, but she's underway.
- Operational?.
1:52:44
Our whole force may be in jeopardy
if the Japanese locate the Yorktown.
1:52:50
They still have a tremendous fleet.
1:52:52
But that 4th carrier can't be far off.
1:52:56
We've already won a great victory,
Admiral.
1:53:00
Maybe we should get our people back.
- Break off, run for home?.
1:53:05
Before they can hurt us again?. Yes.
1:53:10
That may be the smart play.
1:53:13
Trouble is: I want that 4th carrier!
1:53:31
What's wrong?.
- Your right wing tank is punctured.
1:53:35
We haven't had time to repair it.
- Is the left tank fueled?. - Yes, Sir.
1:53:40
A few hours ago
we filled the sky with our planes.
1:53:43
Now we win or lose
with 6 fighters and 10 torpedo planes.
1:53:56
The skipper wants to know, can you
maintain this speed?. - 18 knots.
