:11:00
The only thing that's keeping
the water out is the rust.
:11:10
What do you want?
:11:13
-He's here, sir.
-Okay. Bring him in.
:11:16
In here.
:11:25
Captain DeVriess, this is Ensign Keith.
:11:35
May I see your orders
and qualifications jacket...
:11:38
or are they a military secret?
:11:40
I'm sorry.
:11:48
"Princeton, '41."'
:11:51
"Top five percent
in midshipman's school."
:11:57
Pretty good background.
Pretty good record.
:12:01
Disappointed they assigned you
to a minesweeper?
:12:06
Well, sir, to be honest--yes, sir.
:12:08
You saw yourself on a carrier
or battleship, no doubt?
:12:12
Yes. I had hoped--
:12:14
Well, I only hope
that you're good enough for the Caine.
:12:18
I'll try to be worthy
of this assignment.
:12:20
She's not a battleship or carrier.
She's a beaten-up tub.
:12:25
After 18 months of combat, it takes 24
hours a day to keep her in once piece.
:12:30
-I understand.
-I don't think you do.
:12:34
But whether you like it or not,
you're in the junkyard navy.
:12:39
Steve, put him with Keefer
in communications, and tell Tom...
:12:44
to show this Princeton tiger and our
other new ensign around the ship.
:12:49
Yes, sir.
:12:51
And Keith...
:12:53
don't take it so hard.
:12:56
War is hell.
