Torpedo Run (1958) Movie Script
1
Bearing?
Mark.
Range?
Mark.
Ready?
Firing point,
Captain.
Fire 1!
Number 1 running
hot straight north.
Well, then we won't
waste another one.
A solid hit, sir!
Want to confirm?
Nice shot,
right down the middle.
You want to take
another look?
No.
Surface for routine report
and wreckage examination.
Prepare to surface, look
out to the conning tower.
Well, Barney, that's another
one for the book.
Yeah.
Great hit, captain.
Nice shot, captain.
Tankers hit them
where they really hurt.
No word from comms
up back yet, sir.
I'll be in my cabin.
You'll have it, sir,
if I get it.
I-- I mean, when I get it.
Pretty rough on the skipper.
Sure is.
Has he heard anything
about his family?
Not a word since the Japanese
invaded Manila.
Let's light them up.
Here we go.
One...
two...
Close your eyes
and make a wish.
There we are.
Close your eyes.
All right,
make a wish, darling.
Make a wish.
Blow.
Ooh, she has done it.
Well, here we go.
One for each year,
this is for you, darling.
Barney.
Well, it's her birthday,
honey.
Isn't it?
You don't mind, do you?
Now some for everybody.
Teresa, as soon
as they finish,
take them inside and start
opening the presents.
Thank you, daddy.
You want to hold it?
Well, it was a very nice party
and we enjoyed being here.
Where do you think
you're going?
Well, we have to get
back to the base.
What?
Oh, no, you don't.
You and Arch have sunk
the whole enemy fleet
five times this month
in practice.
Six, honey, six!
I wasn't counting
doubleheaders.
I just got word this morning
they've commissioned
the Shinaru.
Their newest carrier,
is that straight dope, Barney?
That's why I was late.
You ought to leave them
one carrier for the real war.
Arch...
you can bring me back a piece
of the Shinaru in this.
This afternoon
we're going fishing.
Well, if you say so.
Well, if we're going fishing
let's get in the mood.
Fair enough.
Cheers.
Commander Doyle!
Telephone!
I'll get it.
Primo, I told you,
no telephone calls
for Commander Doyle today.
The naval base
is very excited.
They have to talk
to Commander Doyle,
something
about Pearl Harbor.
What was that about?
Oh, the base said
it was important,
something about Pearl Harbor.
Jane, I want you to take
Dede and get out of Manila
just as quick as you can.
Oh, Barney,
now not that again.
Manila is my home,
I was born here and--
and now it's our home.
You know as well as I do
what can happen here.
You know what's coming
now, don't you?
Yes, I know.
But if these islands are
invaded, I'll take Teresa,
Primo, Dede,
we'll go up in the hills
and we'll be waiting
for you there.
Come on, darling, please
let's not spoil her birthday.
All right.
I want to call the base first.
Nice big fat tanker, sir.
Plenty of room
on that, sir.
Throw that net away.
What do you mean
throw it away?
That's mine.
Let's quit kidding
ourselves, huh?
Manila was captured
10 months ago.
That doesn't prove
that Jane was captured.
Throw it away.
Barney, Jane knows
what she's doing.
She's probably hiding out
in the hills somewhere.
As soon as she can
get word to ComSubPac,
they'll let us know,
believe me.
I said throw it away!
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
We're like a couple of kids
yelling at each other.
Let me buy you
some coffee, huh?
Al, bring us
some coffee, will you?
Aye aye, sir.
He's too tense.
Yeah.
Well, he wasn't too
tense to get those.
Well, I'll ride with him.
That's big of you.
Where would you get off?
I have a radar contact
landmass bearing 256.
256?
Got her.
Captain to the conning tower.
Captain
to the conning tower.
Land contact, sir.
What's our position?
Good old Fujiyama.
Well, we're home
again, captain.
Yeah.
Land is one half miles
off, sir, bearing 273,
we're in the mouth
of Suruga Bay.
Well, you're a long way
from England, lieutenant.
That's the advantage
of ignorance, sir.
Lieutenant Redley, Royal Navy,
assigned to Grayfish,
for operational experience
of new sonar equipment.
Well, it's our pleasure.
We expect to show you something
a lot more interesting
than mountains.
You will, sir.
We're overdue for
some good clean fun,
you've earned it, sir.
Left full rudder come
to course 185.
Left full rudder, 185.
Bensy!
No surface contact,
no aircraft contact.
Down scope.
Down scope.
Ready to surface, sir.
Belay that.
Now give me a sonar check.
Sound heads are rigged in,
sir, sonar not operating.
There are no minefields
indicated in this area,
captain.
Bring out the sound heads.
Stand by to surface.
Bring out the sound heads.
The Japs could have
a submarine here, Fisher.
That's right,
I guess they could.
I'm sorry, captain.
No contact
on sonar, sir.
Surface.
Surface, surface!
Lookouts to the bridge.
Aye, sir.
Lookouts to the bridge.
Break the hatch.
Break the hatch.
Mr. Foley?
Yes, sir?
You are the officer
of the deck, aren't you?
Yes, sir.
Then you know that the OD
is never the last
one to the bridge.
Yes, sir.
Object sighted,
fishing sampan,
10 degrees
off port bow, sir.
It's probably
a picket boat.
Let him send back
a report,
maybe they'll
send us out a target.
Haven't you found it yet,
Mr. Foley?
Yes, sir.
Sorry about being
late to the bridge, sir.
Sorry is a word
for funerals.
How late were you, Mr. Foley?
About 10 seconds.
Ten seconds?
Well, I'm sure that you realize
a torpedo traveling
at 50 knots makes 1/7
of a mile in 10 seconds?
Yes, sir.
Won't happen again, sir.
Say, cap, how about
having some coffee?
That's a good idea.
Now that you have
the deck, Mr. Foley...
Yes, sir.
Take care of it, huh?
Thank you, sir.
Great news, admiral.
The Shinaru?
No, sir, not a trace.
Negative in five areas
but others haven't
called in yet, sir.
What is your great news?
New list, sir. Confirmed
by the Swedish legation
of American civilian
prisoners of war.
Commander Adams,
this is an operational office.
Sir, as of 2 weeks ago,
Barney Doyle's wife and baby
are alive and well.
Where?
The internment camp
at Callabo.
Are you sure?
The Swedish reports
have been very reliable, sir.
Yes, they have.
Crack it off to Barney as
soon as you can raise him.
Get it through
and make it move.
Yes, sir.
Adams!
Sir?
Why are the enemy
telling us this now?
Well, the Swedes have been
trying for weeks, sir.
You know how the enemy is.
That's it.
Don't follow, sir.
When they tell us anything,
it's because
they want us to know.
That's true, sir.
Why after all these months?
Why now?
I don't know, sir.
Neither do I.
Shall I hold
this information, sir?
No, Barney has
a right to know.
Aye aye, sir.
"Alive and well!"
Who? Who? Who?
What?
Alive and well!
Who's alive and well?
Captain's wife and baby!
Didn't I tell you?
Now all we need is
a piece of the Shinaru!
That Callabo is still
an internment camp.
But it's the safest
place in the war, Barney.
We hope.
Well, you still
want to get rest?
Rest? Now? Ha!
What about that
operational stuff?
We're alerted
to stand by,
surface for something
urgent from ComSubPac.
Well, you heard him.
Right.
Adams, what's
the matter with you?
Oh, I'm fine, sir.
Seen a ghost?
The Shinaru , sir.
Where?
Where, show me.
Right here, sir,
headed northeast.
We've had three good fixes
and she outran them all,
obviously headed
for Tokyo Bay.
And Barney Doyle.
The Greyfish
is right there.
He's got her, Adams!
He'll get a shot
at her, sir.
Shot? He'll ram her
if he has to.
Barney Doyle, if I could
have picked my man.
She's going
right down his throat.
This is going out
to him, of course.
Sir, he's already got
the operational data but--
But what?
I think you ought to read
the rest of that, sir.
Devils.
Those clever devils.
I'm afraid this explains
our great news, sir.
Too well.
Barney got all of this yet?
No, sir.
He's just getting
the operational stuff
on the Shinaru now.
They think
they've hit the jackpot.
Yeah.
Message from Pearl.
The jackpot, sir.
McKay!
Aye, sir.
Relieve Mr. Foley
on the bridge.
Aye, sir.
Give me the shortest course
between here and Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay?
Yes, sir!
All ahead full.
All ahead full, sir.
All ahead full.
Answer up,
all ahead full, sir.
Mr. Foley!
Yes, sir?
Run tests on the torpedo
data computer
to make certain
it's operating perfectly.
Recommended
course 061, sir.
Very well.
Down right to course 061.
061, sir.
Mr. Milligan,
send this message.
Greyfish to ComSubPac.
Will do.
Captain to crew,
upon reliable information
we are moving to intercept
the Shinaru.
The jackpot.
The Shinaru?
That's right.
Hey, chief,
what's all the excitement
about the Shinaru?
It's just another flattop.
Just another flattop?
That's the number one target
of the whole
United States Navy.
It led the attack against us
at Pearl Harbor.
Well, that sets us up
just great, Barney.
We've got plenty
of depth there too.
Captain, another message
from ComSubPac.
Take it, Arch.
Yes, sir.
Checks out all right, sir.
Captain, the Shinaru
will undoubtedly
have a destroyer screen.
Undoubtedly?
Well, there might be chance
to prang one of them, too.
Well, of course
they're gonna be doing
a little pranging
of their own, lieutenant.
Yes, it won't be dull.
I'm sure of that.
Barney.
Huh?
Read it to all hands.
This is the exec speaking
for the captain.
I'm gonna read you a message
just received from ComSubPac.
Quote.
"Information considered
reliable here verified screen
of two destroyers
for Shinaru
and in addition,
repeat, in addition,
the transport Yoshida Maru,
which is being used
to screen the Shinaru ."
Go ahead.
"Further information
considered equally reliable
here is that the screening
transport Yoshida Maru
is carrying all, repeat,
all, 1,400 American
prisoners of war
from camp Callabo
to Japanese mainland."
End of quote.
This is the captain.
I will remind
every man in this crew
that we're trained
to penetrate the enemy's
protective screens
and shields.
Barney, ComSubPac didn't
say we have to attack.
Why should they?
That's what we're here for.
Barney!
Can I have a word with you?
Notify the bridge
I'm going below.
Bridge,
captain going below.
Well?
Barney, I came up
through the hose pipe.
I've held every job
in these boats,
enlisted man to officer,
except skipper.
You'd make a good one.
Well, this is something other
people should say for me,
but I can handle
this boat right now.
Well, you wouldn't be
here if you couldn't.
Barney, this attack
is more than just routine.
Well, they all are.
The message said
all 1,400 prisoners.
Your wife and baby
are on that transport.
We are attacking
the Shinaru .
Barney,
this is not an accident.
Where do you think
that transport will be
when you have to shoot?
They're deliberately
using her for a screen,
and they've got
two destroyers.
It'll be tough even getting
close enough to shoot!
Don't you think I know that?
Barney, if we must
shoot, let me do it.
That'll be all, Arch.
That big one sure
could be our flattop.
The next big one,
the transport,
that's the destroyer ahead,
another one astern
of the force.
Range 9 miles.
Bridge!
Bridge, aye!
Dive the boat!
Little bridge!
Dive!
Dive!
Well, that was fast.
Too fast.
Hustle and bustle, boy.
All ahead 2/3.
All ahead 2/3, sir.
Cycle the vents.
Cycle the vents!
All vents cycled
and shut, sir!
Battle stations torpedo.
Battle stations torpedo.
Bearing, mark.
Range, mark.
Angle in the ballast
starboard 10.
What about that transport?
Same speed, same range.
Estimate 1,200 yards
and starboard beam.
That's close,
Barney, too close.
The Shinaru's indicated
at doing 23 knots.
True bearing
of the carrier is 294.
We're 3 minutes
from firing point
if you plan on firing
at 1,200 yards, sir.
Make it 1,000.
Yes, sir.
Destroyer is changing course.
She's heading toward us.
She's pinging on long scale
but I don't think
she's picked us up yet.
Give her time, old chap.
It's hard work up there.
Rig for silent running.
Rig for silent running.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, sir.
Make ready all forward tubes
except for outer doors.
Forward tubes are ready,
sir, except for outer doors.
Very well.
We'll try a spread of 6.
Take the scope, Archie.
Aye, sir.
Bearing, mark!
Range, mark!
1880!
She's picked us up.
She's heading right
down our throats.
Set all torpedoes
for 12 feet.
High speed, 2 degree spread.
One minute
to firing point, sir.
All tubes ready, sir,
except for outer doors.
Very well.
Destroyer approaching
at high speed.
Open outer doors.
Open outer doors.
Up scope,
this is a shooting observation.
She's signaling.
Bearing, mark!
Range, mark!
1300!
30 seconds
to firing point, sir.
On the bow?
10 degrees port,
but we can't shoot,
we'd hit the Yoshida Maru.
Confirmed, sir.
A six-torpedo spread
would hit the transport.
Chance for another setup?
Doubt it, chief.
20 seconds!
How many fish can you fire
without hitting the transport?
Two, sir, possibly.
Barney, you can't.
I wouldn't risk it, sir.
Nobody asked you to.
It's too close
even for two fish.
Destroyer approaching
at high speed.
Bearing 042,
range 1,500 yards.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, sir.
Bow tubes stand by.
Bow tubes
are standing by, sir.
Barney, it's Jane and Dede.
10 seconds to shoot!
You-- You can't.
Firing point!
Fire.
Barney!
Barney!
Number one running hot,
straight and normal, sir.
Number two running hot,
straight and normal.
That's a bit of all right.
I hope so.
Either way he is right.
You want to take a look to
confirm it, don't you, Barney?
We better take
her down deep, sir,
the destroyer
is almost on us.
You've got to confirm, Barney.
Close the outer doors.
Close the outer doors.
Rig for depth charge.
Rig for depth charge.
Down emergency,
left full rudder.
Left full rudder.
All ahead full.
Answer up all ahead full!
How deep can you go?
We've got 96 fathoms.
Take her down to 300 feet.
Take her down to 300 feet.
300 feet, aye, sir.
At least they're
running straight.
What's the time
on number one?
Ten seconds to go, sir.
Rudder left full, sir.
Number one missed!
How long to number two?
8 seconds to hit
the Shinaru, sir.
How many to-- How many
to miss the transport?
2 seconds, sir.
It could have been a premature
explosion, captain.
It could have been.
No, sir.
I assume they've lost us
for the moment, captain.
At 300 feet, sir.
Noise from the transport, sir.
She's breaking up.
Water's rushing in.
Bulkheads are crushing.
Reverse course.
Reverse course.
Right full rudder.
Bring her up to 60 feet.
Bring her up to 60 feet.
60 feet, aye, sir!
The destroyers
are waiting, captain.
I know that.
At 60 feet and holding, sir.
What about that transport?
Those destroyers are waiting
for us to pick up survivors.
They're using them as bait.
Well?
Let's get out of here.
You take over, Arch.
Control room, 80 feet.
80 feet, aye, sir.
5 degrees down.
Passing 095, sir.
Steady on 125.
125, aye, sir.
That's enough,
thanks very much.
Where's Arch?
Telephone he said.
Yeah, he's been
gone a half hour.
31 minutes.
He's not coming back until
I signal, I bribed him.
You what?
I bribed him.
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't do that,
that's impossible.
You can't bribe Arch.
You don't know
what I offered.
Barney, what's
the word you use
when one of your ships
protects the other?
Ah, it's called screening.
Oh, yes.
You know, when you
have one ship,
you want to protect
another ship--
The principle
is very clear.
Ship in front.
I'm tired of being
screened, Barney.
For 5 months, you've
kept Arch between us
like a chaperone, why?
Because I love you,
Jane, that's why.
That's a good start, go on.
I'm a bad risk.
Who's taking it?
You or me?
No.
Is it because there is going
to be a war and we'll be in it?
Well, I've thought a lot
about that too, Barney,
for the past 5 months.
And if it all happens just
exactly as you say it will,
I still want a duplicate
of you.
I kind of figured that I'd like
to have a little girl first.
Well, fine then let's
get the family started
before it's too late.
Are you sure?
Really sure
that's what you want?
I've already promised
Archie could be godfather.
Exactly 34 minutes
and 10 seconds.
And 5 months.
And all the rest
of our lives.
Yes?
Watch it, it's a little hot.
Thanks.
Thanks, Arch.
Barney,
can I say something?
Yeah, yeah, what?
I couldn't have done it.
Well, you didn't have to.
Jane would have
wanted you to try it.
Yeah.
Hey, come on.
Come on,
sit down right here.
Well, who--
Who has the deck?
Foley.
Uh-huh.
Well, he's learning,
that boy, huh?
So am I.
I gave those two
destroyers a slip
and reloaded and reported
to ComSubPac.
What did they say?
Recommendation to return
to Pearl Harbor at once.
What else?
What else, sarge?
Nothing else, just a routine
sinking report.
I signed your name.
Thanks.
Barney, let's head back
to Pearl Harbor.
We still have 16
torpedoes left, haven't we?
That's right.
Well, they don't need
them at Pearl.
Battle stations torpedo.
Battle stations torpedo.
Take a look at that setup.
If they spot us on the shoals,
we'll be in trouble.
Let's head for deep water.
Nope.
Are you going to attack?
Not that outfit.
Bearing? Mark!
Range? Mark!
Make ready all bow tubes.
Make ready all bow tubes.
Hang on the bow,
starboard 30,
set torpedoes
at high speed, depth 6 feet.
It's gonna be a straight
bow shot.
We're on the firing
bearing now, sir.
Range 1,000.
Shoot.
One fired, sir.
Captain, what are
we shooting at?
Net tender.
Hmm?
Their nets are still open.
Give me the time, Foley.
6 seconds!
Solid hit.
Come to course 045.
Right full rudder,
all ahead full.
045, right full rudder,
all ahead full, aye, sir!
The destroyer's made
a turn, captain.
She found us yet?
Through that?
Makes an open room.
We're going through.
Keep us in the clear.
Aye aye, sir.
We're going
into Tokyo Bay?
Not going, sir,
we are in.
Tell them, Jojo.
From captain to crew.
We've entered Tokyo Bay.
What if they find out that--
Shh.
First American sub
in Tokyo Bay.
How about dinner, Foley?
Great, if it's a round trip.
Mines dead ahead.
Take us down fast!
95 feet, left full rudder,
come to course 005.
Left full rudder,
005, aye, sir.
95 feet, aye, sir.
Rudder is left full, sir.
Contact to stern
coming up fast, sir.
It's a destroyer pinging.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, aye, sir.
Don't any of you chaps
find it a trifle warm?
Do you want to go
sightseeing, sir?
It seemed
a good idea then.
All ahead dead slow.
All ahead dead slow, sir.
The tin can is closing fast,
700 yards, sir.
He's following us
into the minefields.
He is a fool coming in here.
You could say he
has guts too, sir.
Well, he won't
have them long.
He's a happy warrior.
Left standard rudder.
Left standard
rudder, aye, sir.
Better get back
into the channel.
If we can make the channel,
we'd have 150 feet
of good water, captain.
Sounds like we fouled
a mine cable up forward.
All stop, all back emergency,
rudder amidships.
All stop, all back emergency,
rudder amidships, aye, sir.
All stop.
All stop.
All ahead dead slow.
All ahead dead slow.
Come to course 335.
335, aye, sir!
Beautiful, sir.
I wouldn't have missed that.
I would.
How do you feel, Benson?
I haven't felt
for an hour, sir.
There's a faint sound, sir.
Nothing close anyway.
We got room to turn
seaward now, captain.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, aye, sir.
Bring us up to 62 feet.
62 feet, aye, sir!
Going through.
But if they close
the nets behind us?
Oh, that's all that
sound is, sir.
All?
But...
if the nets are closed...
Tokyo is a big town, sir.
We'll find a boarding house.
At periscope depth,
captain.
Any contacts with stern?
No contact, sir.
Take it up.
Straight out ahead,
minefield to port.
Mark it on the chart,
Mr. Fisher,
for the round trip.
Marking it now, sir.
You got her, huh?
Look.
The Shinaru, gentlemen.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
All tubes ready, sir.
Bearing, mark.
Range, mark.
Destroyer cutting in.
Range will be perfect
in 8 seconds.
We haven't got 8 seconds.
Commence firing.
Fire!
All six fired, sir.
Take her down fast.
Take her down fast!
Left full rudder.
Left full rudder,
aye, sir.
The destroyer is intercepting
our torpedoes, captain!
Missed.
We missed.
Rotten luck.
Contact, here we go again.
The upper hatch
is sprung!
See if you can dock it down!
Get him up on the bunk.
Pharmacist's mate
to forward torpedo room.
Ease your bubble to zero!
Buckeye, check for damage!
All compartments, report in!
Wait a minute!
Forward torpedo room
to conning tower,
we have one man knocked out
and are taking water
but we'll handle it.
You check on the damage.
Hallert, get 50 pounds
of pressure in there,
reload those tubes fast
and clear the room
except for yourself
and one man.
Flooding under
control, Barney.
Pressure in the room is
holding, tubes are reloaded,
Hallert and one man
standing by.
Destroyer is all
over us, captain.
I'm all right.
How close are we
to the minefield?
Estimate 600 yards
starboard, sir.
Well, run down the Bay,
keep us close to that
minefield as possible.
Aye, sir.
That destroyer
is laying back, sir.
Maybe doesn't want
to see his ancestors.
Captain,
may I say something?
Well, if there's time.
In the Skagerak one night
Germany boats
chased us into a minefield
and we made them
think they'd killed us
by exploding one
of their own mines.
With what, good wishes?
Not that we were
saving those.
We used our stern tubes, sir.
Stern tubes stand by.
Stern tubes stand by.
Stern tubes ready, sir.
Set gyro at 90 degrees.
Set gyro at 90 degrees.
Gyro set at 90 degrees, sir.
Fire all four.
All four fired, sir.
All stop.
All stop.
All stop, aye, sir!
Goldy?
The destroyer
is turning away, sir.
He is heading
back up the bay.
The sound is fading.
I think we're okay.
By golly, it worked.
Hey, Redley.
I thought you came
here to learn from us.
I have, sir.
But I'm expected to take
the information back.
Well, Fuzz, we made it.
Yeah.
To the nets.
Forward torpedo room.
Open outer doors.
Forward torpedo room,
open outer doors.
Nets 700 yards ahead, sir.
Fire all bow torpedoes,
no spacing.
Close outer doors.
Close outer doors.
All ahead standard.
All ahead standard, aye, sir!
We're in the clear.
Well, thanks.
Thanks for all of us.
Thank you, sir.
Recommend course
185, captain.
Very well.
Come to course 185.
185, aye, sir.
Secure from battle stations,
repair battle damage.
Secure all battle stations,
repair all battle damage.
Keep me informed, Arch.
Aye, sir.
Oh, what did you
say to daddy, Dede?
Thank you, daddy.
You want to hold it?
Yes, I know.
But if these islands
are invaded,
I'll take Teresa,
Primo and Dede,
we'll go up in the hills
and we'll be waiting
for you there.
Come on, darling, please
let's not spoil her birthday.
He's still asleep, Al.
Yes, sir, I know, sir,
but he ain't had a bite.
He'll eat when he wakes up!
I'm sorry, Al,
sleep is what he needs.
Yes, sir.
I just looked
in on him, Jennings.
He's still asleep,
don't bother him.
Call it what you want,
sir, we could help him.
Wouldn't you just postpone
what he's going through?
Probably.
Then let him alone, will you?
You better take it
easy yourself, sir.
Nothing wrong
with me, I'm fine.
Well, what do you
want me to do?
Well, right now why don't
you go topside for a smoke?
Ah, maybe you're right.
Okay.
But leave him alone, huh?
Thanks.
Why did she love you so much?
I don't know, I guess
it was my personality.
What's the matter?
The other guy
had more personality?
No, all he had was a car.
So why didn't you get a car?
Yeah, why didn't
you get a car?
And drive around
all that traffic?
Hey, I think he's right.
Hey, knock it off, you guys.
How's the captain, sir?
He's coming along fine.
Oh, that's good.
Good.
Mr. Sloan, have you ever
had any trouble with dames?
Well, yeah.
Once in a while.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Morning, sir.
Morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Why don't you boys
get some coffee?
I'll take over
the watch.
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
What's our position?
8 days,
16 hours and...
10 minutes from the bar
of the Royal Hawaiian.
I was out that long?
Why shouldn't
you sleep?
Yeah.
We're going home.
What did you report?
I told ComSubPac to have
the Royal Hawaiian
put out
another bartender.
What else did you
tell them?
Nothing else.
Arch,
you know that...
sleep as you call it,
that could put me
behind a desk
for the rest
of the war.
You know that,
don't you?
Everybody sleeps.
Who knows
how long you slept?
You do.
If ComSubPac should
ask you anything,
what would you tell them?
Why should they ask?
What would you tell them?
If they ask, Barney,
I'd have to tell the truth.
Arch, you are
the only man alive
who can keep me from
getting the Shinaru.
Don't you think
I want it too, Barney?
Thanks.
When he gets here,
let's really pour it on him.
Yeah.
Here's your hat.
You're looking
for me, Benson?
You were the last one to look
at the slides yesterday?
Yeah, and they
were the greatest--
Look, don't try
to worm out of it.
You know what you did?
You touched it.
Touched it?
And smudged it!
Smudged it?
Left your big fat
fingerprint all over it.
Look at that!
Where?
You know where.
You mean right by--
No, down in
the right hand corner.
Oh, yeah,
I think I see it.
You think you see it?
Of course you see it!
First time I let some jughead
handle the slides,
he ruins my business.
Metcalf, put this down.
Garrity, no slides
for 2 weeks!
No slides
for 2 weeks?
Hey, Benson, wait a minute,
I want to talk to you.
Permission to
come aboard, sir.
Certainly, sir.
Barney.
Admiral.
Hello, Adams.
Hello, Barney, how are you?
Nice to see you.
Any further news, sir?
Sorry, Barney,
no, not a word.
No survivors
were picked up, huh?
No report of it.
They've put a blackout
over the whole thing.
You know
as much as we do.
How soon
can I get back, sir?
Barney, submarines work
better without holes in them.
Well, these aren't
too bad, admiral,
if I can have first
priority in dry dock.
Well,
we'll do our best.
Meanwhile, your orders
are take it easy.
We have rooms for you
at the Royal Hawaiian,
commander.
That's fine.
Thank you.
Are you joining me
for luncheon, commander?
Thank you, sir.
What's the matter?
Can't you sleep?
Are you kidding?
You're keeping me
awake.
Look, Barney, you won't
sink the Shinaru in here.
That admiral has given us
the run around.
You know that,
don't you?
He gave us first priority
in dry dock.
That's right, that...
That he did.
He didn't ask you
anything else, did he?
Huh?
For the last time,
no.
Are you sure?
Now will you get to bed
and get some rest?
Okay.
Okay, buddy,
okay.
Lieutenant Sloan
reporting, sir.
Good morning, Arch.
You sent for me?
Sit down.
Thank you, sir.
Arch, what would be
the best possible news
I could give you?
Sailing order, sir.
Greyfish is ready.
That is news.
It'll do very nicely,
sir.
How would you like
your own boat,
Lieutenant
Commander Sloan?
My own command?
Your promotion
has just come through.
That's a long haul from
apprentice seaman, Arch.
A brand new sub
waiting at New London
for a top skipper.
The record says
that's you.
Funny, I--
I don't know what to say.
Every skipper you've served
with has said it for you.
Well, thank you, sir.
May I ask a question,
sir?
All you like.
Is Barney taking
the Greyfish out again?
Arch, that's
a different problem.
Not to me, sir.
You've earned
the command, Arch.
And Barney has earned another
crack at the Shinaru, sir.
He's overdue for a desk job
and a good rest.
He's still the best skipper
you've got, admiral.
There's more than one factor
in duty assignments, Arch.
You've got them all
for your own boat.
I'd still have the same
as Barney's exec, sir.
If you want to
remain his exec.
I do, sir.
Arch, are you
covering for him?
Covering what, sir?
Was he knocked out after
you came out of Tokyo Bay?
3 days, sir.
But you know
what he'd been though.
Of course I do.
But only you know
what came out of it.
Well, he's passed
his new physical exam.
Perfect, the problem
is not physical.
Is he fit, Arch?
He's tense,
of course, but...
I'd be worried
if he weren't.
I think he's fit
and I want to sail
with him.
The Shinaru
is still unreported.
The best I could give him
would be a long shot hunch.
I'd like to try it,
sir.
With Barney.
Thanks, Arch,
you've helped me.
Thank you, sir.
But what about
Barney?
You've helped him, too,
to one more trip.
Get that Shinaru this time
or you'll have to kill her
with your own boat.
Yes, sir.
Admiral,
you know Barney.
If he knew I'd been
offered my own command,
he'd make me
take it.
Yes, he would.
All right, I won't tell him,
because after this trip,
I'm making you take it.
Yes, sir.
What's wrong?
Kiska...
approach patrol.
You know what that
means, don't you?
Well, they put us right,
right in the deep freeze.
Easy, Barney.
After all he isn't running
the war just for one boat.
You reading
his mind now?
Well, no,
I talked to him.
What?
Barney, the Shinaru
is unreported.
He said he's giving us the best
long shot hunch he has,
and his hunches are based
on good intelligence.
What else
did you talk about?
You.
Go on.
He wanted to know how long
you'd been knocked out
after Tokyo Bay.
I told him.
What else did you
tell him, hmm?
I told him I wanted
to sail with you.
You go shoot your mouth off
to the admiral
and next thing you know
we're headed for Kiska.
Steady, boy.
You could have quit me,
you could have asked
for a transfer,
why didn't you?
Yes, I could have
quit you!
Well, why didn't you?
Don't you
know that yet?
Just a minute,
Mr. Sloan.
Now you get this straight.
I...
I'm gonna get the Shinaru
in spite of what you think,
in spite of
what the admiral thinks,
in spite of
what anybody thinks.
Now you got that
straight?
Yes, sir.
I got it.
That's all.
Captain!
Captain!
Yes.
The Shinaru, she is
heading for Kiska Harbor.
Give me
the shortest course
between here
and Kiska Harbor.
Aye aye, sir.
Recommended base
course 085, Captain.
Come to course 085!
All ahead full.
085, aye, sir.
All ahead full.
All ahead full,
sir.
Message to
Bluefin:
Follow us,
base course 085.
Aye, sir.
Answer up,
all ahead full, sir.
Mr. Sloan,
come to the bridge.
What does this mean?
About bringing you
back for your own boat?
What does
it sound like?
When did the admiral offer
you your own command?
Why should you care?
I wish you'd taken it,
Arch.
That makes two of us.
I want to follow in your
footsteps, Barney...
but one of us
has changed.
We're here, sir, part of
the entrance to Kiska Harbor.
Radar?
There's the headland, sir.
The Bluefin,
500 yards astern of us.
No more going
on the surface.
Clear the bridge.
Clear the bridge!
You men, go down
and get yourselves
some coffee
and get warm real fast.
Foley?
Yes, sir.
Foley,
stand by the TDC.
Yes, sir.
How about the hatch?
Lock it down!
Lock it down!
We're attacking,
of course.
We are.
I'd dive
the boat, sir.
I'm aware that
we have no visibility,
that's why I want my radar
to help my sonar.
Radar is already icing,
and this is
a tricky entrance, sir.
Left full rudder,
come to course 225.
All ahead 2/3.
Left full rudder,
All ahead 2/3,
aye, sir!
Contact.
Broad contact.
This is all across
both bars.
Radar?
No contact
to head, sir.
My antenna
must be iced.
All I'm getting
is a faint headland.
Got it now!
Look at
all those blips.
Half the Jap navy
must be in there.
I count nine ships,
sir.
Range?
3,000 yards.
That big blip
must be the flattop.
It's not the same
contact, sir.
No, sir, mine's a broad
contact 200 yards ahead.
It could be the log
and chain boom
imported by intelligence,
captain.
How close?
Coming fast, sir.
We'll stay for
one more confirmation.
It's a bad risk,
captain.
It's parked at 1,200 yards,
just coming around
the headland tip.
She's attacking, sir.
Hard boom
dead ahead, sir.
Dive!
Yes, sir.
Dive the boat.
Come on!
Come on right away!
Mr. Buckeye reports pressure
building up in the boat, sir.
How much pressure?
How much pressure?
Eight pounds, sir.
We got a ruptured air line
but we can handle it!
How much depth
do we have here?
30 fathoms, sir.
Take us down to 90 feet.
Take it down
to 90 feet.
90 feet!
We've lost
both scopes, sir.
Radar inoperative, sir.
Antenna must have
been carried away.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, sir.
All compartments
report in.
What's the matter,
Barney?
Pharmacist, right to the
conning tower on the double.
Pharmacist right on
the double, aye, sir!
Come sit over by
the chart table, Barney.
Bluefin is calling
in for a check, sir.
Tell them we're
proceeding with the attack.
Aye, sir.
90 feet
and holding, sir!
Get his arm on the table.
Take a look at this.
How is it?
It's broken above
the elbow, captain.
I can handle it.
Go ahead then.
Benson?
Aye, sir.
Give Mr. Fisher
the first bearing
you had on that flattop.
295, sir.
What's that for?
Morphine, sir.
The shot would
help you, sir.
It wouldn't
help my shooting.
Are you making
a sound attack?
That's right.
You know the chances of
getting a hit
with sound
are about 1 in 8?
Not very good odds,
are they?
You want to quit?
Uh-uh.
Just checking your plans,
in case you pass out.
I'm getting some
strange sounds, captain.
What do you make of it?
I don't know.
Pretty faint yet.
Bearing?
Come to course 295.
All ahead 1/3.
That's an anchor chain.
Of course it is.
Shinaru.
Sure, she's
getting underway.
She's trying
to bail out of there
before she gets caught.
At 295 and holding.
Very well.
Target
still stationary, sir.
1,800 yards.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
Can you shoot?
I can.
Take the sound.
Destroyer coming up fast.
Right in
the groove again.
Dive and lose the shot
or stay here
and take the beating.
Maybe lose the boat.
What would you do,
Mr. Sloan?
Your choice.
I came here to learn,
remember?
That's why I'm asking you.
What would you do?
I'd stay up and shoot.
That's what we're here for.
Group's ready, sir.
We'll fire 6 at 1,000.
We can fire
anytime now, sir.
Every second
improves the shot.
You can't, Arch.
She's yours, skipper.
Ours.
You do it.
Go ahead and shoot, Arch.
Go ahead.
All away,
captain.
Running through
the target so far?
I hope.
What if I missed?
That'll be two of us.
We aren't gonna miss
the shellacking.
They're unloading
the rack on us.
How long to target, Foley?
6 seconds to go, sir.
Move it!
Move it!
All right!
Get up!
Hurry! Up!
Can't close it, Barney!
Put 50 pounds of
pressure in there!
Aye, sir!
Benson?
Forward battery rooms
are all right,
we still got lights.
Now, Goldy?
Sir.
SOS Bluefin to stand by,
we're abandoning ship.
I can't get anything,
sir.
All, I can--
Wait!
Listen, torpedoes!
She's fired
at that destroyer, sir!
Keep calling the Bluefin.
Keep calling!
What's the count,
Mr. Buckeye?
Twenty here, sir,
and the lot should be
safe in the forward
torpedo room.
Keep calling.
I'm broadcasting, sir.
Captain, I have an
SOS from Greyfish.
Where are they?
Right here, sir.
We must be
directly over them.
All stop!
Now we can call.
Aye aye, sir.
I got them.
I got them, captain,
I got them!
Tell them to stand by.
We'll start escape.
Break out the
battle lanterns.
Fisher, break out
the Momsen lungs.
Aye, sir.
Foley, Benson,
break out the ascending line,
we're going up.
Aye, sir.
Aye, sir.
Captain!
Captain!
It's the Bluefin, sir.
Now let's go.
Now let's move.
Aye!
Come on!
Arch. See if you can
get the torpedo room.
Aye, sir.
Fisher, charge the
Momsens with oxygen.
Aye aye, sir.
Let's move in.
They have access, sir.
Tell them to escape.
Aye, sir.
Ever felt anything
this cold?
Lord, yes!
Brighton in August.
Open the front valve.
That's it.
That's it, sir.
All right,
now listen to me.
Go up steady
and take it easy.
Breathe in and out
real slow
so you don't
hurt your lungs.
You hear me back there?
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
Everybody set?
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
Come on, let's go.
This is a standard drill.
And I want to see every one
of your ugly faces up there.
Waiting for us.
Part the hatch.
Hurry it up!
The fog is lifting!
Coffee, captain?
Coffee
to the conning tower.
Coffee to the conning tower.
Steady on 025, sir.
Very well.
Thanks, Benny.
Thanks a lot.
Here you are, Barney.
Thanks a lot.
How about the men?
Chief Hallert says
six men unreported
from the aft
torpedo room.
Who are they?
Philips, Owens,
and Hughes,
Abrahams, Sherman,
and Howard.
Look, Barney,
two of you better get below,
get some rest.
He's right, Barney.
Let's go down
and get that arm fixed.
No, no, wait a minute.
Did you get
any confirmation?
From the Shinaru?
We couldn't see
anything up there.
Solid fog.
Well, look again
for me, will you?
Please.
All right.
We heard a couple
of hits we thought,
but we didn't know with that
beating you were taking.
Barney.
Barney, look at that.
Pass the word to the rest
of my crew, will you?
Pipe this through the ship.
Aye, sir.
Captain to the crew
of the Greyfish.
Here's a periscope
observation.
Bearing 285,
range 4,000 yards.
The flattop
Shinaru is sinking.
She is listing about
30 degrees to the port.
And she is going down
by the bow very fast.
She's down by the bow now.
Gears rolling
off of her decks.
She's slipping, fast.
There she goes.
Scratch one flattop.
It's confirmed sinking.
Well done, Greyfish.
Down scope.
All ahead full,
let's get out of here.
All ahead full, sir.
Bearing?
Mark.
Range?
Mark.
Ready?
Firing point,
Captain.
Fire 1!
Number 1 running
hot straight north.
Well, then we won't
waste another one.
A solid hit, sir!
Want to confirm?
Nice shot,
right down the middle.
You want to take
another look?
No.
Surface for routine report
and wreckage examination.
Prepare to surface, look
out to the conning tower.
Well, Barney, that's another
one for the book.
Yeah.
Great hit, captain.
Nice shot, captain.
Tankers hit them
where they really hurt.
No word from comms
up back yet, sir.
I'll be in my cabin.
You'll have it, sir,
if I get it.
I-- I mean, when I get it.
Pretty rough on the skipper.
Sure is.
Has he heard anything
about his family?
Not a word since the Japanese
invaded Manila.
Let's light them up.
Here we go.
One...
two...
Close your eyes
and make a wish.
There we are.
Close your eyes.
All right,
make a wish, darling.
Make a wish.
Blow.
Ooh, she has done it.
Well, here we go.
One for each year,
this is for you, darling.
Barney.
Well, it's her birthday,
honey.
Isn't it?
You don't mind, do you?
Now some for everybody.
Teresa, as soon
as they finish,
take them inside and start
opening the presents.
Thank you, daddy.
You want to hold it?
Well, it was a very nice party
and we enjoyed being here.
Where do you think
you're going?
Well, we have to get
back to the base.
What?
Oh, no, you don't.
You and Arch have sunk
the whole enemy fleet
five times this month
in practice.
Six, honey, six!
I wasn't counting
doubleheaders.
I just got word this morning
they've commissioned
the Shinaru.
Their newest carrier,
is that straight dope, Barney?
That's why I was late.
You ought to leave them
one carrier for the real war.
Arch...
you can bring me back a piece
of the Shinaru in this.
This afternoon
we're going fishing.
Well, if you say so.
Well, if we're going fishing
let's get in the mood.
Fair enough.
Cheers.
Commander Doyle!
Telephone!
I'll get it.
Primo, I told you,
no telephone calls
for Commander Doyle today.
The naval base
is very excited.
They have to talk
to Commander Doyle,
something
about Pearl Harbor.
What was that about?
Oh, the base said
it was important,
something about Pearl Harbor.
Jane, I want you to take
Dede and get out of Manila
just as quick as you can.
Oh, Barney,
now not that again.
Manila is my home,
I was born here and--
and now it's our home.
You know as well as I do
what can happen here.
You know what's coming
now, don't you?
Yes, I know.
But if these islands are
invaded, I'll take Teresa,
Primo, Dede,
we'll go up in the hills
and we'll be waiting
for you there.
Come on, darling, please
let's not spoil her birthday.
All right.
I want to call the base first.
Nice big fat tanker, sir.
Plenty of room
on that, sir.
Throw that net away.
What do you mean
throw it away?
That's mine.
Let's quit kidding
ourselves, huh?
Manila was captured
10 months ago.
That doesn't prove
that Jane was captured.
Throw it away.
Barney, Jane knows
what she's doing.
She's probably hiding out
in the hills somewhere.
As soon as she can
get word to ComSubPac,
they'll let us know,
believe me.
I said throw it away!
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
We're like a couple of kids
yelling at each other.
Let me buy you
some coffee, huh?
Al, bring us
some coffee, will you?
Aye aye, sir.
He's too tense.
Yeah.
Well, he wasn't too
tense to get those.
Well, I'll ride with him.
That's big of you.
Where would you get off?
I have a radar contact
landmass bearing 256.
256?
Got her.
Captain to the conning tower.
Captain
to the conning tower.
Land contact, sir.
What's our position?
Good old Fujiyama.
Well, we're home
again, captain.
Yeah.
Land is one half miles
off, sir, bearing 273,
we're in the mouth
of Suruga Bay.
Well, you're a long way
from England, lieutenant.
That's the advantage
of ignorance, sir.
Lieutenant Redley, Royal Navy,
assigned to Grayfish,
for operational experience
of new sonar equipment.
Well, it's our pleasure.
We expect to show you something
a lot more interesting
than mountains.
You will, sir.
We're overdue for
some good clean fun,
you've earned it, sir.
Left full rudder come
to course 185.
Left full rudder, 185.
Bensy!
No surface contact,
no aircraft contact.
Down scope.
Down scope.
Ready to surface, sir.
Belay that.
Now give me a sonar check.
Sound heads are rigged in,
sir, sonar not operating.
There are no minefields
indicated in this area,
captain.
Bring out the sound heads.
Stand by to surface.
Bring out the sound heads.
The Japs could have
a submarine here, Fisher.
That's right,
I guess they could.
I'm sorry, captain.
No contact
on sonar, sir.
Surface.
Surface, surface!
Lookouts to the bridge.
Aye, sir.
Lookouts to the bridge.
Break the hatch.
Break the hatch.
Mr. Foley?
Yes, sir?
You are the officer
of the deck, aren't you?
Yes, sir.
Then you know that the OD
is never the last
one to the bridge.
Yes, sir.
Object sighted,
fishing sampan,
10 degrees
off port bow, sir.
It's probably
a picket boat.
Let him send back
a report,
maybe they'll
send us out a target.
Haven't you found it yet,
Mr. Foley?
Yes, sir.
Sorry about being
late to the bridge, sir.
Sorry is a word
for funerals.
How late were you, Mr. Foley?
About 10 seconds.
Ten seconds?
Well, I'm sure that you realize
a torpedo traveling
at 50 knots makes 1/7
of a mile in 10 seconds?
Yes, sir.
Won't happen again, sir.
Say, cap, how about
having some coffee?
That's a good idea.
Now that you have
the deck, Mr. Foley...
Yes, sir.
Take care of it, huh?
Thank you, sir.
Great news, admiral.
The Shinaru?
No, sir, not a trace.
Negative in five areas
but others haven't
called in yet, sir.
What is your great news?
New list, sir. Confirmed
by the Swedish legation
of American civilian
prisoners of war.
Commander Adams,
this is an operational office.
Sir, as of 2 weeks ago,
Barney Doyle's wife and baby
are alive and well.
Where?
The internment camp
at Callabo.
Are you sure?
The Swedish reports
have been very reliable, sir.
Yes, they have.
Crack it off to Barney as
soon as you can raise him.
Get it through
and make it move.
Yes, sir.
Adams!
Sir?
Why are the enemy
telling us this now?
Well, the Swedes have been
trying for weeks, sir.
You know how the enemy is.
That's it.
Don't follow, sir.
When they tell us anything,
it's because
they want us to know.
That's true, sir.
Why after all these months?
Why now?
I don't know, sir.
Neither do I.
Shall I hold
this information, sir?
No, Barney has
a right to know.
Aye aye, sir.
"Alive and well!"
Who? Who? Who?
What?
Alive and well!
Who's alive and well?
Captain's wife and baby!
Didn't I tell you?
Now all we need is
a piece of the Shinaru!
That Callabo is still
an internment camp.
But it's the safest
place in the war, Barney.
We hope.
Well, you still
want to get rest?
Rest? Now? Ha!
What about that
operational stuff?
We're alerted
to stand by,
surface for something
urgent from ComSubPac.
Well, you heard him.
Right.
Adams, what's
the matter with you?
Oh, I'm fine, sir.
Seen a ghost?
The Shinaru , sir.
Where?
Where, show me.
Right here, sir,
headed northeast.
We've had three good fixes
and she outran them all,
obviously headed
for Tokyo Bay.
And Barney Doyle.
The Greyfish
is right there.
He's got her, Adams!
He'll get a shot
at her, sir.
Shot? He'll ram her
if he has to.
Barney Doyle, if I could
have picked my man.
She's going
right down his throat.
This is going out
to him, of course.
Sir, he's already got
the operational data but--
But what?
I think you ought to read
the rest of that, sir.
Devils.
Those clever devils.
I'm afraid this explains
our great news, sir.
Too well.
Barney got all of this yet?
No, sir.
He's just getting
the operational stuff
on the Shinaru now.
They think
they've hit the jackpot.
Yeah.
Message from Pearl.
The jackpot, sir.
McKay!
Aye, sir.
Relieve Mr. Foley
on the bridge.
Aye, sir.
Give me the shortest course
between here and Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay?
Yes, sir!
All ahead full.
All ahead full, sir.
All ahead full.
Answer up,
all ahead full, sir.
Mr. Foley!
Yes, sir?
Run tests on the torpedo
data computer
to make certain
it's operating perfectly.
Recommended
course 061, sir.
Very well.
Down right to course 061.
061, sir.
Mr. Milligan,
send this message.
Greyfish to ComSubPac.
Will do.
Captain to crew,
upon reliable information
we are moving to intercept
the Shinaru.
The jackpot.
The Shinaru?
That's right.
Hey, chief,
what's all the excitement
about the Shinaru?
It's just another flattop.
Just another flattop?
That's the number one target
of the whole
United States Navy.
It led the attack against us
at Pearl Harbor.
Well, that sets us up
just great, Barney.
We've got plenty
of depth there too.
Captain, another message
from ComSubPac.
Take it, Arch.
Yes, sir.
Checks out all right, sir.
Captain, the Shinaru
will undoubtedly
have a destroyer screen.
Undoubtedly?
Well, there might be chance
to prang one of them, too.
Well, of course
they're gonna be doing
a little pranging
of their own, lieutenant.
Yes, it won't be dull.
I'm sure of that.
Barney.
Huh?
Read it to all hands.
This is the exec speaking
for the captain.
I'm gonna read you a message
just received from ComSubPac.
Quote.
"Information considered
reliable here verified screen
of two destroyers
for Shinaru
and in addition,
repeat, in addition,
the transport Yoshida Maru,
which is being used
to screen the Shinaru ."
Go ahead.
"Further information
considered equally reliable
here is that the screening
transport Yoshida Maru
is carrying all, repeat,
all, 1,400 American
prisoners of war
from camp Callabo
to Japanese mainland."
End of quote.
This is the captain.
I will remind
every man in this crew
that we're trained
to penetrate the enemy's
protective screens
and shields.
Barney, ComSubPac didn't
say we have to attack.
Why should they?
That's what we're here for.
Barney!
Can I have a word with you?
Notify the bridge
I'm going below.
Bridge,
captain going below.
Well?
Barney, I came up
through the hose pipe.
I've held every job
in these boats,
enlisted man to officer,
except skipper.
You'd make a good one.
Well, this is something other
people should say for me,
but I can handle
this boat right now.
Well, you wouldn't be
here if you couldn't.
Barney, this attack
is more than just routine.
Well, they all are.
The message said
all 1,400 prisoners.
Your wife and baby
are on that transport.
We are attacking
the Shinaru .
Barney,
this is not an accident.
Where do you think
that transport will be
when you have to shoot?
They're deliberately
using her for a screen,
and they've got
two destroyers.
It'll be tough even getting
close enough to shoot!
Don't you think I know that?
Barney, if we must
shoot, let me do it.
That'll be all, Arch.
That big one sure
could be our flattop.
The next big one,
the transport,
that's the destroyer ahead,
another one astern
of the force.
Range 9 miles.
Bridge!
Bridge, aye!
Dive the boat!
Little bridge!
Dive!
Dive!
Well, that was fast.
Too fast.
Hustle and bustle, boy.
All ahead 2/3.
All ahead 2/3, sir.
Cycle the vents.
Cycle the vents!
All vents cycled
and shut, sir!
Battle stations torpedo.

Angle in the ballast

What about that transport?
Same speed, same range.
Estimate 1,200 yards
and starboard beam.
That's close,
Barney, too close.
The Shinaru's indicated
at doing 23 knots.
True bearing
of the carrier is 294.
We're 3 minutes
from firing point
if you plan on firing
at 1,200 yards, sir.
Make it 1,000.
Yes, sir.
Destroyer is changing course.
She's heading toward us.
She's pinging on long scale
but I don't think
she's picked us up yet.
Give her time, old chap.
It's hard work up there.
Rig for silent running.

Forward tubes are ready,
sir, except for outer doors.
Very well.
We'll try a spread of 6.
Take the scope, Archie.
Aye, sir.
Bearing, mark!
Range, mark!

She's picked us up.
She's heading right
down our throats.
Set all torpedoes
for 12 feet.
High speed, 2 degree spread.
One minute
to firing point, sir.
All tubes ready, sir,
except for outer doors.
Very well.
Destroyer approaching
at high speed.
Open outer doors.
Open outer doors.
Up scope,
this is a shooting observation.
She's signaling.
Bearing, mark!
Range, mark!
1300!
30 seconds
to firing point, sir.
On the bow?
10 degrees port,
but we can't shoot,
we'd hit the Yoshida Maru.
Confirmed, sir.
A six-torpedo spread
would hit the transport.
Chance for another setup?
Doubt it, chief.
20 seconds!
How many fish can you fire
without hitting the transport?
Two, sir, possibly.
Barney, you can't.
I wouldn't risk it, sir.
Nobody asked you to.
It's too close
even for two fish.
Destroyer approaching
at high speed.
Bearing 042,
range 1,500 yards.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, sir.
Bow tubes stand by.
Bow tubes
are standing by, sir.
Barney, it's Jane and Dede.
10 seconds to shoot!
You-- You can't.
Firing point!
Fire.
Barney!
Barney!
Number one running hot,
straight and normal, sir.
Number two running hot,
straight and normal.
That's a bit of all right.
I hope so.
Either way he is right.
You want to take a look to
confirm it, don't you, Barney?
We better take
her down deep, sir,
the destroyer
is almost on us.
You've got to confirm, Barney.
Close the outer doors.
Close the outer doors.
Rig for depth charge.

Answer up all ahead full!
How deep can you go?
We've got 96 fathoms.
Take her down to 300 feet.
Take her down to 300 feet.
300 feet, aye, sir.
At least they're
running straight.
What's the time
on number one?
Ten seconds to go, sir.
Rudder left full, sir.
Number one missed!
How long to number two?
8 seconds to hit
the Shinaru, sir.
How many to-- How many
to miss the transport?
2 seconds, sir.
It could have been a premature
explosion, captain.
It could have been.
No, sir.
I assume they've lost us
for the moment, captain.
At 300 feet, sir.
Noise from the transport, sir.
She's breaking up.
Water's rushing in.
Bulkheads are crushing.
Reverse course.
Reverse course.
Right full rudder.
Bring her up to 60 feet.
Bring her up to 60 feet.
60 feet, aye, sir!
The destroyers
are waiting, captain.
I know that.
At 60 feet and holding, sir.
What about that transport?
Those destroyers are waiting
for us to pick up survivors.
They're using them as bait.
Well?
Let's get out of here.
You take over, Arch.
Control room, 80 feet.
80 feet, aye, sir.
5 degrees down.
Passing 095, sir.
Steady on 125.
125, aye, sir.
That's enough,
thanks very much.
Where's Arch?
Telephone he said.
Yeah, he's been
gone a half hour.
31 minutes.
He's not coming back until
I signal, I bribed him.
You what?
I bribed him.
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't do that,
that's impossible.
You can't bribe Arch.
You don't know
what I offered.
Barney, what's
the word you use
when one of your ships
protects the other?
Ah, it's called screening.
Oh, yes.
You know, when you
have one ship,
you want to protect
another ship--
The principle
is very clear.
Ship in front.
I'm tired of being
screened, Barney.
For 5 months, you've
kept Arch between us
like a chaperone, why?
Because I love you,
Jane, that's why.
That's a good start, go on.
I'm a bad risk.
Who's taking it?
You or me?
No.
Is it because there is going
to be a war and we'll be in it?
Well, I've thought a lot
about that too, Barney,
for the past 5 months.
And if it all happens just
exactly as you say it will,
I still want a duplicate
of you.
I kind of figured that I'd like
to have a little girl first.
Well, fine then let's
get the family started
before it's too late.
Are you sure?
Really sure
that's what you want?
I've already promised
Archie could be godfather.
Exactly 34 minutes
and 10 seconds.
And 5 months.
And all the rest
of our lives.
Yes?
Watch it, it's a little hot.
Thanks.
Thanks, Arch.
Barney,
can I say something?
Yeah, yeah, what?
I couldn't have done it.
Well, you didn't have to.
Jane would have
wanted you to try it.
Yeah.
Hey, come on.
Come on,
sit down right here.
Well, who--
Who has the deck?
Foley.
Uh-huh.
Well, he's learning,
that boy, huh?
So am I.
I gave those two
destroyers a slip
and reloaded and reported
to ComSubPac.
What did they say?
Recommendation to return
to Pearl Harbor at once.
What else?
What else, sarge?
Nothing else, just a routine
sinking report.
I signed your name.
Thanks.
Barney, let's head back
to Pearl Harbor.
We still have 16
torpedoes left, haven't we?
That's right.
Well, they don't need
them at Pearl.
Battle stations torpedo.
Battle stations torpedo.
Take a look at that setup.
If they spot us on the shoals,
we'll be in trouble.
Let's head for deep water.
Nope.
Are you going to attack?
Not that outfit.
Bearing? Mark!
Range? Mark!
Make ready all bow tubes.
Make ready all bow tubes.
Hang on the bow,
starboard 30,
set torpedoes
at high speed, depth 6 feet.
It's gonna be a straight
bow shot.
We're on the firing
bearing now, sir.
Range 1,000.
Shoot.
One fired, sir.
Captain, what are
we shooting at?
Net tender.
Hmm?
Their nets are still open.
Give me the time, Foley.
6 seconds!
Solid hit.
Come to course 045.
Right full rudder,
all ahead full.
045, right full rudder,
all ahead full, aye, sir!
The destroyer's made
a turn, captain.
She found us yet?
Through that?
Makes an open room.
We're going through.
Keep us in the clear.
Aye aye, sir.
We're going
into Tokyo Bay?
Not going, sir,
we are in.
Tell them, Jojo.
From captain to crew.
We've entered Tokyo Bay.
What if they find out that--
Shh.
First American sub
in Tokyo Bay.
How about dinner, Foley?
Great, if it's a round trip.
Mines dead ahead.
Take us down fast!
95 feet, left full rudder,
come to course 005.
Left full rudder,
005, aye, sir.
95 feet, aye, sir.
Rudder is left full, sir.
Contact to stern
coming up fast, sir.
It's a destroyer pinging.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, aye, sir.
Don't any of you chaps
find it a trifle warm?
Do you want to go
sightseeing, sir?
It seemed
a good idea then.
All ahead dead slow.
All ahead dead slow, sir.
The tin can is closing fast,
700 yards, sir.
He's following us
into the minefields.
He is a fool coming in here.
You could say he
has guts too, sir.
Well, he won't
have them long.
He's a happy warrior.
Left standard rudder.
Left standard
rudder, aye, sir.
Better get back
into the channel.
If we can make the channel,
we'd have 150 feet
of good water, captain.
Sounds like we fouled
a mine cable up forward.
All stop, all back emergency,
rudder amidships.
All stop, all back emergency,
rudder amidships, aye, sir.
All stop.
All stop.
All ahead dead slow.
All ahead dead slow.
Come to course 335.
335, aye, sir!
Beautiful, sir.
I wouldn't have missed that.
I would.
How do you feel, Benson?
I haven't felt
for an hour, sir.
There's a faint sound, sir.
Nothing close anyway.
We got room to turn
seaward now, captain.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, aye, sir.
Bring us up to 62 feet.
62 feet, aye, sir!
Going through.
But if they close
the nets behind us?
Oh, that's all that
sound is, sir.
All?
But...
if the nets are closed...
Tokyo is a big town, sir.
We'll find a boarding house.
At periscope depth,
captain.
Any contacts with stern?
No contact, sir.
Take it up.
Straight out ahead,
minefield to port.
Mark it on the chart,
Mr. Fisher,
for the round trip.
Marking it now, sir.
You got her, huh?
Look.
The Shinaru, gentlemen.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
All tubes ready, sir.
Bearing, mark.
Range, mark.
Destroyer cutting in.
Range will be perfect
in 8 seconds.
We haven't got 8 seconds.
Commence firing.
Fire!
All six fired, sir.
Take her down fast.
Take her down fast!
Left full rudder.
Left full rudder,
aye, sir.
The destroyer is intercepting
our torpedoes, captain!
Missed.
We missed.
Rotten luck.
Contact, here we go again.
The upper hatch
is sprung!
See if you can dock it down!
Get him up on the bunk.
Pharmacist's mate
to forward torpedo room.
Ease your bubble to zero!
Buckeye, check for damage!
All compartments, report in!
Wait a minute!
Forward torpedo room
to conning tower,
we have one man knocked out
and are taking water
but we'll handle it.
You check on the damage.
Hallert, get 50 pounds
of pressure in there,
reload those tubes fast
and clear the room
except for yourself
and one man.
Flooding under
control, Barney.
Pressure in the room is
holding, tubes are reloaded,
Hallert and one man
standing by.
Destroyer is all
over us, captain.
I'm all right.
How close are we
to the minefield?
Estimate 600 yards
starboard, sir.
Well, run down the Bay,
keep us close to that
minefield as possible.
Aye, sir.
That destroyer
is laying back, sir.
Maybe doesn't want
to see his ancestors.
Captain,
may I say something?
Well, if there's time.
In the Skagerak one night
Germany boats
chased us into a minefield
and we made them
think they'd killed us
by exploding one
of their own mines.
With what, good wishes?
Not that we were
saving those.
We used our stern tubes, sir.
Stern tubes stand by.
Stern tubes stand by.
Stern tubes ready, sir.
Set gyro at 90 degrees.
Set gyro at 90 degrees.
Gyro set at 90 degrees, sir.
Fire all four.
All four fired, sir.
All stop.
All stop.
All stop, aye, sir!
Goldy?
The destroyer
is turning away, sir.
He is heading
back up the bay.
The sound is fading.
I think we're okay.
By golly, it worked.
Hey, Redley.
I thought you came
here to learn from us.
I have, sir.
But I'm expected to take
the information back.
Well, Fuzz, we made it.
Yeah.
To the nets.
Forward torpedo room.
Open outer doors.
Forward torpedo room,
open outer doors.
Nets 700 yards ahead, sir.
Fire all bow torpedoes,
no spacing.
Close outer doors.
Close outer doors.
All ahead standard.
All ahead standard, aye, sir!
We're in the clear.
Well, thanks.
Thanks for all of us.
Thank you, sir.
Recommend course
185, captain.
Very well.
Come to course 185.
185, aye, sir.
Secure from battle stations,
repair battle damage.
Secure all battle stations,
repair all battle damage.
Keep me informed, Arch.
Aye, sir.
Oh, what did you
say to daddy, Dede?
Thank you, daddy.
You want to hold it?
Yes, I know.
But if these islands
are invaded,
I'll take Teresa,
Primo and Dede,
we'll go up in the hills
and we'll be waiting
for you there.
Come on, darling, please
let's not spoil her birthday.
He's still asleep, Al.
Yes, sir, I know, sir,
but he ain't had a bite.
He'll eat when he wakes up!
I'm sorry, Al,
sleep is what he needs.
Yes, sir.
I just looked
in on him, Jennings.
He's still asleep,
don't bother him.
Call it what you want,
sir, we could help him.
Wouldn't you just postpone
what he's going through?
Probably.
Then let him alone, will you?
You better take it
easy yourself, sir.
Nothing wrong
with me, I'm fine.
Well, what do you
want me to do?
Well, right now why don't
you go topside for a smoke?
Ah, maybe you're right.
Okay.
But leave him alone, huh?
Thanks.
Why did she love you so much?
I don't know, I guess
it was my personality.
What's the matter?
The other guy
had more personality?
No, all he had was a car.
So why didn't you get a car?
Yeah, why didn't
you get a car?
And drive around
all that traffic?
Hey, I think he's right.
Hey, knock it off, you guys.
How's the captain, sir?
He's coming along fine.
Oh, that's good.
Good.
Mr. Sloan, have you ever
had any trouble with dames?
Well, yeah.
Once in a while.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Morning, sir.
Morning, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Why don't you boys
get some coffee?
I'll take over
the watch.
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
What's our position?
8 days,
16 hours and...
10 minutes from the bar
of the Royal Hawaiian.
I was out that long?
Why shouldn't
you sleep?
Yeah.
We're going home.
What did you report?
I told ComSubPac to have
the Royal Hawaiian
put out
another bartender.
What else did you
tell them?
Nothing else.
Arch,
you know that...
sleep as you call it,
that could put me
behind a desk
for the rest
of the war.
You know that,
don't you?
Everybody sleeps.
Who knows
how long you slept?
You do.
If ComSubPac should
ask you anything,
what would you tell them?
Why should they ask?
What would you tell them?
If they ask, Barney,
I'd have to tell the truth.
Arch, you are
the only man alive
who can keep me from
getting the Shinaru.
Don't you think
I want it too, Barney?
Thanks.
When he gets here,
let's really pour it on him.
Yeah.
Here's your hat.
You're looking
for me, Benson?
You were the last one to look
at the slides yesterday?
Yeah, and they
were the greatest--
Look, don't try
to worm out of it.
You know what you did?
You touched it.
Touched it?
And smudged it!
Smudged it?
Left your big fat
fingerprint all over it.
Look at that!
Where?
You know where.
You mean right by--
No, down in
the right hand corner.
Oh, yeah,
I think I see it.
You think you see it?
Of course you see it!
First time I let some jughead
handle the slides,
he ruins my business.
Metcalf, put this down.
Garrity, no slides
for 2 weeks!
No slides
for 2 weeks?
Hey, Benson, wait a minute,
I want to talk to you.
Permission to
come aboard, sir.
Certainly, sir.
Barney.
Admiral.
Hello, Adams.
Hello, Barney, how are you?
Nice to see you.
Any further news, sir?
Sorry, Barney,
no, not a word.
No survivors
were picked up, huh?
No report of it.
They've put a blackout
over the whole thing.
You know
as much as we do.
How soon
can I get back, sir?
Barney, submarines work
better without holes in them.
Well, these aren't
too bad, admiral,
if I can have first
priority in dry dock.
Well,
we'll do our best.
Meanwhile, your orders
are take it easy.
We have rooms for you
at the Royal Hawaiian,
commander.
That's fine.
Thank you.
Are you joining me
for luncheon, commander?
Thank you, sir.
What's the matter?
Can't you sleep?
Are you kidding?
You're keeping me
awake.
Look, Barney, you won't
sink the Shinaru in here.
That admiral has given us
the run around.
You know that,
don't you?
He gave us first priority
in dry dock.
That's right, that...
That he did.
He didn't ask you
anything else, did he?
Huh?
For the last time,
no.
Are you sure?
Now will you get to bed
and get some rest?
Okay.
Okay, buddy,
okay.
Lieutenant Sloan
reporting, sir.
Good morning, Arch.
You sent for me?
Sit down.
Thank you, sir.
Arch, what would be
the best possible news
I could give you?
Sailing order, sir.
Greyfish is ready.
That is news.
It'll do very nicely,
sir.
How would you like
your own boat,
Lieutenant
Commander Sloan?
My own command?
Your promotion
has just come through.
That's a long haul from
apprentice seaman, Arch.
A brand new sub
waiting at New London
for a top skipper.
The record says
that's you.
Funny, I--
I don't know what to say.
Every skipper you've served
with has said it for you.
Well, thank you, sir.
May I ask a question,
sir?
All you like.
Is Barney taking
the Greyfish out again?
Arch, that's
a different problem.
Not to me, sir.
You've earned
the command, Arch.
And Barney has earned another
crack at the Shinaru, sir.
He's overdue for a desk job
and a good rest.
He's still the best skipper
you've got, admiral.
There's more than one factor
in duty assignments, Arch.
You've got them all
for your own boat.
I'd still have the same
as Barney's exec, sir.
If you want to
remain his exec.
I do, sir.
Arch, are you
covering for him?
Covering what, sir?
Was he knocked out after
you came out of Tokyo Bay?
3 days, sir.
But you know
what he'd been though.
Of course I do.
But only you know
what came out of it.
Well, he's passed
his new physical exam.
Perfect, the problem
is not physical.
Is he fit, Arch?
He's tense,
of course, but...
I'd be worried
if he weren't.
I think he's fit
and I want to sail
with him.
The Shinaru
is still unreported.
The best I could give him
would be a long shot hunch.
I'd like to try it,
sir.
With Barney.
Thanks, Arch,
you've helped me.
Thank you, sir.
But what about
Barney?
You've helped him, too,
to one more trip.
Get that Shinaru this time
or you'll have to kill her
with your own boat.
Yes, sir.
Admiral,
you know Barney.
If he knew I'd been
offered my own command,
he'd make me
take it.
Yes, he would.
All right, I won't tell him,
because after this trip,
I'm making you take it.
Yes, sir.
What's wrong?
Kiska...
approach patrol.
You know what that
means, don't you?
Well, they put us right,
right in the deep freeze.
Easy, Barney.
After all he isn't running
the war just for one boat.
You reading
his mind now?
Well, no,
I talked to him.
What?
Barney, the Shinaru
is unreported.
He said he's giving us the best
long shot hunch he has,
and his hunches are based
on good intelligence.
What else
did you talk about?
You.
Go on.
He wanted to know how long
you'd been knocked out
after Tokyo Bay.
I told him.
What else did you
tell him, hmm?
I told him I wanted
to sail with you.
You go shoot your mouth off
to the admiral
and next thing you know
we're headed for Kiska.
Steady, boy.
You could have quit me,
you could have asked
for a transfer,
why didn't you?
Yes, I could have
quit you!
Well, why didn't you?
Don't you
know that yet?
Just a minute,
Mr. Sloan.
Now you get this straight.
I...
I'm gonna get the Shinaru
in spite of what you think,
in spite of
what the admiral thinks,
in spite of
what anybody thinks.
Now you got that
straight?
Yes, sir.
I got it.
That's all.
Captain!
Captain!
Yes.
The Shinaru, she is
heading for Kiska Harbor.
Give me
the shortest course
between here
and Kiska Harbor.
Aye aye, sir.
Recommended base
course 085, Captain.
Come to course 085!
All ahead full.
085, aye, sir.
All ahead full.
All ahead full,
sir.
Message to
Bluefin:
Follow us,
base course 085.
Aye, sir.
Answer up,
all ahead full, sir.
Mr. Sloan,
come to the bridge.
What does this mean?
About bringing you
back for your own boat?
What does
it sound like?
When did the admiral offer
you your own command?
Why should you care?
I wish you'd taken it,
Arch.
That makes two of us.
I want to follow in your
footsteps, Barney...
but one of us
has changed.
We're here, sir, part of
the entrance to Kiska Harbor.
Radar?
There's the headland, sir.
The Bluefin,
500 yards astern of us.
No more going
on the surface.
Clear the bridge.
Clear the bridge!
You men, go down
and get yourselves
some coffee
and get warm real fast.
Foley?
Yes, sir.
Foley,
stand by the TDC.
Yes, sir.
How about the hatch?
Lock it down!
Lock it down!
We're attacking,
of course.
We are.
I'd dive
the boat, sir.
I'm aware that
we have no visibility,
that's why I want my radar
to help my sonar.
Radar is already icing,
and this is
a tricky entrance, sir.
Left full rudder,
come to course 225.
All ahead 2/3.
Left full rudder,
All ahead 2/3,
aye, sir!
Contact.
Broad contact.
This is all across
both bars.
Radar?
No contact
to head, sir.
My antenna
must be iced.
All I'm getting
is a faint headland.
Got it now!
Look at
all those blips.
Half the Jap navy
must be in there.
I count nine ships,
sir.
Range?
3,000 yards.
That big blip
must be the flattop.
It's not the same
contact, sir.
No, sir, mine's a broad
contact 200 yards ahead.
It could be the log
and chain boom
imported by intelligence,
captain.
How close?
Coming fast, sir.
We'll stay for
one more confirmation.
It's a bad risk,
captain.
It's parked at 1,200 yards,
just coming around
the headland tip.
She's attacking, sir.
Hard boom
dead ahead, sir.
Dive!
Yes, sir.
Dive the boat.
Come on!
Come on right away!
Mr. Buckeye reports pressure
building up in the boat, sir.
How much pressure?
How much pressure?
Eight pounds, sir.
We got a ruptured air line
but we can handle it!
How much depth
do we have here?
30 fathoms, sir.
Take us down to 90 feet.
Take it down
to 90 feet.
90 feet!
We've lost
both scopes, sir.
Radar inoperative, sir.
Antenna must have
been carried away.
Steady as you go.
Steady as you go, sir.
All compartments
report in.
What's the matter,
Barney?
Pharmacist, right to the
conning tower on the double.
Pharmacist right on
the double, aye, sir!
Come sit over by
the chart table, Barney.
Bluefin is calling
in for a check, sir.
Tell them we're
proceeding with the attack.
Aye, sir.
90 feet
and holding, sir!
Get his arm on the table.
Take a look at this.
How is it?
It's broken above
the elbow, captain.
I can handle it.
Go ahead then.
Benson?
Aye, sir.
Give Mr. Fisher
the first bearing
you had on that flattop.
295, sir.
What's that for?
Morphine, sir.
The shot would
help you, sir.
It wouldn't
help my shooting.
Are you making
a sound attack?
That's right.
You know the chances of
getting a hit
with sound
are about 1 in 8?
Not very good odds,
are they?
You want to quit?
Uh-uh.
Just checking your plans,
in case you pass out.
I'm getting some
strange sounds, captain.
What do you make of it?
I don't know.
Pretty faint yet.
Bearing?
Come to course 295.
All ahead 1/3.
That's an anchor chain.
Of course it is.
Shinaru.
Sure, she's
getting underway.
She's trying
to bail out of there
before she gets caught.
At 295 and holding.
Very well.
Target
still stationary, sir.
1,800 yards.
Battle stations torpedo,
make ready all bow tubes.
Can you shoot?
I can.
Take the sound.
Destroyer coming up fast.
Right in
the groove again.
Dive and lose the shot
or stay here
and take the beating.
Maybe lose the boat.
What would you do,
Mr. Sloan?
Your choice.
I came here to learn,
remember?
That's why I'm asking you.
What would you do?
I'd stay up and shoot.
That's what we're here for.
Group's ready, sir.
We'll fire 6 at 1,000.
We can fire
anytime now, sir.
Every second
improves the shot.
You can't, Arch.
She's yours, skipper.
Ours.
You do it.
Go ahead and shoot, Arch.
Go ahead.
All away,
captain.
Running through
the target so far?
I hope.
What if I missed?
That'll be two of us.
We aren't gonna miss
the shellacking.
They're unloading
the rack on us.
How long to target, Foley?
6 seconds to go, sir.
Move it!
Move it!
All right!
Get up!
Hurry! Up!
Can't close it, Barney!
Put 50 pounds of
pressure in there!
Aye, sir!
Benson?
Forward battery rooms
are all right,
we still got lights.
Now, Goldy?
Sir.
SOS Bluefin to stand by,
we're abandoning ship.
I can't get anything,
sir.
All, I can--
Wait!
Listen, torpedoes!
She's fired
at that destroyer, sir!
Keep calling the Bluefin.
Keep calling!
What's the count,
Mr. Buckeye?
Twenty here, sir,
and the lot should be
safe in the forward
torpedo room.
Keep calling.
I'm broadcasting, sir.
Captain, I have an
SOS from Greyfish.
Where are they?
Right here, sir.
We must be
directly over them.
All stop!
Now we can call.
Aye aye, sir.
I got them.
I got them, captain,
I got them!
Tell them to stand by.
We'll start escape.
Break out the
battle lanterns.
Fisher, break out
the Momsen lungs.
Aye, sir.
Foley, Benson,
break out the ascending line,
we're going up.
Aye, sir.
Aye, sir.
Captain!
Captain!
It's the Bluefin, sir.
Now let's go.
Now let's move.
Aye!
Come on!
Arch. See if you can
get the torpedo room.
Aye, sir.
Fisher, charge the
Momsens with oxygen.
Aye aye, sir.
Let's move in.
They have access, sir.
Tell them to escape.
Aye, sir.
Ever felt anything
this cold?
Lord, yes!
Brighton in August.
Open the front valve.
That's it.
That's it, sir.
All right,
now listen to me.
Go up steady
and take it easy.
Breathe in and out
real slow
so you don't
hurt your lungs.
You hear me back there?
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
Everybody set?
Yes, sir.
Aye, sir.
Come on, let's go.
This is a standard drill.
And I want to see every one
of your ugly faces up there.
Waiting for us.
Part the hatch.
Hurry it up!
The fog is lifting!
Coffee, captain?
Coffee
to the conning tower.
Coffee to the conning tower.
Steady on 025, sir.
Very well.
Thanks, Benny.
Thanks a lot.
Here you are, Barney.
Thanks a lot.
How about the men?
Chief Hallert says
six men unreported
from the aft
torpedo room.
Who are they?
Philips, Owens,
and Hughes,
Abrahams, Sherman,
and Howard.
Look, Barney,
two of you better get below,
get some rest.
He's right, Barney.
Let's go down
and get that arm fixed.
No, no, wait a minute.
Did you get
any confirmation?
From the Shinaru?
We couldn't see
anything up there.
Solid fog.
Well, look again
for me, will you?
Please.
All right.
We heard a couple
of hits we thought,
but we didn't know with that
beating you were taking.
Barney.
Barney, look at that.
Pass the word to the rest
of my crew, will you?
Pipe this through the ship.
Aye, sir.
Captain to the crew
of the Greyfish.
Here's a periscope
observation.
Bearing 285,
range 4,000 yards.
The flattop
Shinaru is sinking.
She is listing about
30 degrees to the port.
And she is going down
by the bow very fast.
She's down by the bow now.
Gears rolling
off of her decks.
She's slipping, fast.
There she goes.
Scratch one flattop.
It's confirmed sinking.
Well done, Greyfish.
Down scope.
All ahead full,
let's get out of here.
All ahead full, sir.
