Moving on to the last name on the list,
Lt Cmdr Thomas Dodge.
:01:08
Third in his class at sub school.
Did even better in the advanced course.
:01:13
Cited for tactical excellence,
joint NATO exercise.
:01:22
180 and closing, sir.
:01:24
- Ahead one-third, steady on course.
- Ahead one-third, steady on course. Aye, sir.
:01:29
- Target at 175 and closing, sir.
- Let's try a shot.
:01:34
This is the third time
Tom Dodge has come up for command.
:01:38
If we don't give him a boat, he'll be
dropped from the command programme,
:01:41
which would be a tragedy for him
:01:43
and a mistake for us, given the years
and dollars spent training him.
:01:48
Well, I'd have to disagree with you,
Admiral Price.
:01:51
Dodge's fitness report
also presents a man who three years ago
:01:54
brushed against a Russian
missile sub just off Murmansk.
:01:58
Not exactly a promotional bell-ringer.
:02:01
Target at 160, sir. Five-knot aiding wind.
:02:05
- Delivery seven.
- We have a shooting solution.
:02:09
More to the point, I simply don't
approve of his command style.
:02:14
He's impulsive. He's often undisciplined,
even reckless at times.
:02:17
Fire one!
:02:21
Get up there, you miserable little puke.
:02:28
(whistles)
:02:29
It's a fine shot, sir.
:02:32
Well, what the heck?
Why don't we pull in so you can putt out?
:02:41
I will simply remind the selection board
of one irrefutable fact
:02:46
that seems to sum up Dodge's character.
:02:49
There is physical evidence that as an ensign
Dodge became so physically intoxicated
:02:55
that he not only allowed
himself to be tattooed,
:02:59
but tattooed on his genitalia.
