1
00:00:22,156 --> 00:00:23,691
NARRATOR: If you remember
Pearl Harbor,

2
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:25,759
you'll recall that
in the year that followed,

3
00:00:25,826 --> 00:00:28,862
the Japanese
were almost invincible.

4
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:31,765
Early in 1943, however,
they were checked.

5
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:34,202
Stopped cold
by the marines
at Guadalcanal,

6
00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:37,971
the Navy in the Coral Sea
and the Allied armies
in New Guinea.

7
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:42,376
This was a period
of far-reaching decisions,
desperate strategies

8
00:00:42,443 --> 00:00:45,379
and incredibly daring
counter-strokes,

9
00:00:45,446 --> 00:00:50,818
not the least of which
involved two bright
young naval officers.

10
00:02:15,569 --> 00:02:20,174
This bold, slightly
improbable adventure
began with a message

11
00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:23,511
authorized by
the Commanding General,
South West Pacific Area

12
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:28,816
and flashed by top priority
to the lone carrier
on patrol in the Coral Sea.

13
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:33,654
It was an urgent request
for a particularly
qualified young officer

14
00:02:33,721 --> 00:02:36,690
to lead an extremely
delicate mission.

15
00:02:36,757 --> 00:02:38,426
It demanded a man,

16
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,828
a man of executive ability
and high intelligence

17
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:42,263
(PHONE RINGING)

18
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:50,338
and that innate quality
that enables a man to
swiftly estimate a situation

19
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:52,105
and make a wise decision.

20
00:02:55,843 --> 00:03:01,549
In bestowing that most
thrilling of all awards,
an officer's first command,

21
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:06,620
the Navy knew it had a man
that would ask no questions
and offer no excuses.

22
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:11,292
He would carry out orders
regardless of what obstacles
fate put in his path.

23
00:03:12,326 --> 00:03:15,062
Well...

24
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:19,267
Within the hour,
with high hopes
and only a mild headache,

25
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,902
Lieutenant Rip Crandall
was on his way

26
00:03:21,969 --> 00:03:26,240
to a secret anchorage,
a hidden harbor,
so shrouded in mystery

27
00:03:26,307 --> 00:03:32,946
that it was known
only as "somewhere
in the South Pacific."

28
00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:36,717
Here, the U.S. Seventh Fleet,
victors of the Coral Sea,

29
00:03:36,784 --> 00:03:42,590
drowsed at anchor, licking
their wounds, and dreaming
of the great battles to come.

30
00:03:42,656 --> 00:03:45,526
And here, the lieutenant
saw his passport
to high adventure.

31
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,769
Here, somewhere among
the flotillas of destroyers,

32
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:58,672
their vital supply
and repair ships,

33
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:03,911
among stalwart battlewagons
of the Nevada class, carriers,

34
00:04:03,977 --> 00:04:09,283
deadly cruisers
of the Boise class, escorts,
and tenders of all classes,

35
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:15,155
he found the ship
of his dreams, the Echo

36
00:04:15,222 --> 00:04:19,693
in, well, a class by itself.

37
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,963
While at first glance,
it might have looked
like England's reply

38
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:25,165
to the Boston Tea Party,

39
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:29,269
it had nevertheless
had a distinguished career
in the copra trade.

40
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:32,340
The Navy had not only
gratefully received it
from New Zealand

41
00:04:32,406 --> 00:04:36,510
as a sort of reverse
lend-lease, but had
taken great pains

42
00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:40,013
to man it with a picked
crew of specialists.

43
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,282
Dedicated,
highly skilled seamen

44
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:47,521
who chafed at inactivity here
in this quiet backwater
far from the battle lines

45
00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:50,858
and awaited only the arrival
of their commander
to swing into action.

46
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:52,125
(BLOWING WHISTLE)

47
00:04:52,192 --> 00:04:53,260
Duck!

48
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:56,664
Bring that gear aboard.

49
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:04,304
Welcome aboard, sir.

50
00:05:04,372 --> 00:05:06,039
What?
Belay that racket!

51
00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:08,942
You want the whole
flotilla to hear us?
What is this?

52
00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:11,311
Honors for the prospective
commanding officer, sir.

53
00:05:11,379 --> 00:05:14,648
The officer in commission
shall see that all honors
and ceremonies...

54
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:16,650
This hulk
is commissioned?
As what?

55
00:05:16,717 --> 00:05:18,185
HANSON:
It's unclassified, sir.

56
00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:20,187
CRANDALL:
I can believe that.

57
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:21,622
JOHNSON: Duck!

58
00:05:26,627 --> 00:05:28,996
Sorry, sir. All right,
bear a hand, there.

59
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:31,632
Let's get that thing
in port and secure it!

60
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:40,408
Johnson?

61
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:41,742
Yes, sir?

62
00:05:43,577 --> 00:05:46,514
I'm sorry, sir,
but we've only been aboard
a couple of hours.

63
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:48,081
How many men
have you lost so far?

64
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,884
None, sir,
just a few cuts
and bruises.

65
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:52,820
Oh, don't forget
Miller, sir.

66
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:56,590
Oh, yeah.
Yeoman Miller, sir.

67
00:05:56,657 --> 00:05:58,158
Transferred to
the hospital ship.

68
00:05:58,225 --> 00:06:00,027
JOHNSON: Oh,
he's a real nut, sir.

69
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:02,863
I told him to look out for
the hatch, and he thought
I wanted a match, and...

70
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:04,164
(RAZZING)

71
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:05,833
Thanks, Johnson.

72
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:08,335
You can take this man
below and show him
where to stow his gear.

73
00:06:08,402 --> 00:06:11,572
All right, sir.

74
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,675
What is all this malarkey
about this ship
being commissioned?

75
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:17,377
It's true, sir.
Admiral Hathaway
had me commission her

76
00:06:17,445 --> 00:06:20,280
and sign her over to you.
The papers are
in your stateroom.

77
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:21,949
My what?

78
00:06:22,015 --> 00:06:25,052
Your cabin.
You can go right ahead.
I'll bring your gear along.

79
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:27,154
Yes. Just leave it there.

80
00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:29,790
Sir?

81
00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:41,068
I'm sorry, sir.
I meant to warn you
about these beams.

82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:42,603
You gotta watch it.

83
00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:43,937
What did you say
your name was?

84
00:06:44,004 --> 00:06:45,606
Tommy.

85
00:06:45,673 --> 00:06:48,676
Sorry, sir.
Hanson, sir.
Ensign Thomas J.

86
00:06:49,209 --> 00:06:50,544
Let's sit down.

87
00:06:53,547 --> 00:06:56,249
My name is Crandall.
Rip Crandall.

88
00:06:56,316 --> 00:07:00,220
I know that.
I'd have recognized you,
even if they hadn't told me.

89
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:03,824
You know me
from someplace?

90
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:06,494
Balboa.
The California
Yacht Club.

91
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,396
You were getting ready
for the Honolulu race
in '39.

92
00:07:09,463 --> 00:07:12,766
What did you do?
Crew for me? Or...

93
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:15,503
I tried to, sir.

94
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:18,772
You're not the kid
that fouled up
the genoa jib?

95
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:19,973
(CHUCKLING) Oh, gee.

96
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,175
I remember
I was a little rough
with you that day.

97
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:23,443
Didn't I chase you
up the mast?

98
00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:25,212
Yes, sir.

99
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:28,348
You said I didn't
know enough to
pour water out of a boot.

100
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:30,150
Boot. That was nice.

101
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:32,653
You were right, sir.
I nearly
wrecked your ship.

102
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,757
But I've studied a lot
about sailing ever since.
That's why I volunteered.

103
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:38,859
You volunteered?
What? For this?

104
00:07:38,926 --> 00:07:41,128
Yes, sir. I had
a desk job here
at the base

105
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:43,163
and when Commander Vandewater
told me about this...

106
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:47,868
Vandewater?
Not Wilbur Vandewater?

107
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:51,038
I don't know.
Kind of slim,
blond hair.

108
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,674
And a blackguard Nazi!
That nose...

109
00:07:53,741 --> 00:07:55,676
Sir?
What does he do here?

110
00:07:55,743 --> 00:07:56,877
Flight secretary
to the Admiral.

111
00:07:56,944 --> 00:07:58,979
Yes, he would be.

112
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:01,314
You have to take him
those clearance papers
when you've signed them.

113
00:08:01,381 --> 00:08:03,250
This ship's not
officially yours
until you do.

114
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:06,019
It isn't?

115
00:08:06,086 --> 00:08:07,387
You're right.
It isn't.

116
00:08:07,454 --> 00:08:10,023
I'll get the ship's
boat in the water
so you can take it.

117
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:13,493
Do that, Bill. Tommy.
Wait a minute. You got
a copy of the Navy regs?

118
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:14,595
In the top left-hand
drawer, sir.

119
00:08:14,662 --> 00:08:15,696
Thank you.

120
00:08:15,763 --> 00:08:17,230
Anything wrong?

121
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:20,133
No. It's just that
I do everything
by the book, you know.

122
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:36,349
Your gear, sir.
I already got
that gaff secured.

123
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:38,552
The gaff. Chief.

124
00:08:41,288 --> 00:08:42,556
Watch...

125
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:49,062
For your information,
it's not a gaff,
it's a boom. The main boom.

126
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:50,698
Yeah. Sorry, sir.

127
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:53,734
Mr. Hanson
has been teaching us.
The gaff is the...

128
00:08:53,801 --> 00:08:57,170
The spar that, on this ship,
you would bend the head
of the foresail to.

129
00:08:57,237 --> 00:08:59,072
You didn't make
your rate in sail?

130
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:02,409
No, sir. But do you think
the rest of these clowns
know anything...

131
00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:04,044
Beg pardon, sir.

132
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:07,180
My last hitch
was on The Hamill,
the tender alongside, sir.

133
00:09:07,247 --> 00:09:09,282
(CHUCKLING)
And you volunteered, too?

134
00:09:09,349 --> 00:09:11,084
In a manner of
speaking, yes.

135
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:14,755
That is, no, sir.

136
00:09:14,822 --> 00:09:18,358
You'd see it
in my record anyway.
It was this, or else.

137
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:20,861
Else what?

138
00:09:20,928 --> 00:09:24,564
Chief Svenson
started his fifth hitch.

139
00:09:24,632 --> 00:09:27,267
And the chief's mess
gave him kind of
a testimonial,

140
00:09:27,334 --> 00:09:31,038
and I figured a party
is no good
without entertainment,

141
00:09:31,104 --> 00:09:35,876
and they got this
girl dancer
at the tavern.

142
00:09:35,943 --> 00:09:37,177
I see.

143
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:39,479
Nothing like that, sir.
Her husband came with her.

144
00:09:39,546 --> 00:09:40,948
Only...

145
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:43,283
Only it's wartime,
and unauthorized
civilian personnel

146
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:45,152
are not allowed
on naval installations.

147
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:46,954
Particularly tenders,
the skipper said.

148
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:50,390
So he gave me my choice
of being busted or grabbing
the first ship out.

149
00:09:50,457 --> 00:09:53,326
So, you volunteered.
What, the first...

150
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:55,028
The first
ship out?

151
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:56,664
That's what
they said, sir.

152
00:09:56,730 --> 00:09:58,799
I've got to
get out of here.
Pardon me.

153
00:09:58,866 --> 00:09:59,933
Sir!

154
00:10:01,401 --> 00:10:03,536
All clear?
Lower away together.

155
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:05,338
(CREAKING)

156
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:08,809
If you don't mind,
I'd just as soon you didn't
mention it to Mr. Hanson.

157
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:12,846
He really believes I did
volunteer, and he's kind
of young and eager

158
00:10:12,913 --> 00:10:14,748
and you know?

159
00:10:14,815 --> 00:10:17,751
Let go of the after fall.
Let go the forward fall.

160
00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:22,656
Chief, your secret
is safe with me

161
00:10:22,723 --> 00:10:25,993
because I'm not
going to be around
to tell him anyway.

162
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,196
Leaving the ship.

163
00:10:41,341 --> 00:10:44,277
HANSON:
I should have checked
the caulking, sir.

164
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:47,180
It's okay, kid,
it's nobody's fault.
Don't you worry about it.

165
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:49,850
But we'll get
you ashore, sir.
Won't we, Chief?

166
00:10:49,917 --> 00:10:51,952
Yes, sir.
Right away, sir.

167
00:10:54,554 --> 00:10:58,158
Horse, slack

168
00:10:58,225 --> 00:11:02,062
Shark Bait, heave
around on the bow.
Get that thing aboard.

169
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:05,598
He can handle
anything, sir.

170
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:06,800
Yeah, I'm sure of that.

171
00:11:06,867 --> 00:11:08,335
He can't wait
till we get to sea.

172
00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:10,637
Yeah,
I'm sure of that, too.

173
00:11:17,978 --> 00:11:19,212
What's up, Chief?

174
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:20,781
Brass, coming through.

175
00:11:28,722 --> 00:11:30,423
Right this way, sir.

177
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:37,330
Dock is on
the port side, sir.

178
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:40,167
Show the captain
the quarterdeck, sailor.

179
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:41,969
Welcome aboard, sir.

180
00:11:44,071 --> 00:11:47,274
With him in command,
we could sail right
into Tokyo Bay.

181
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:49,442
I'd settle for
just getting out
of the harbor.

182
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:51,111
He can do that
blindfolded.

183
00:11:51,178 --> 00:11:55,248
Yes, sir, but I don't think
he's going to. He didn't
take them papers, sir.

184
00:11:55,315 --> 00:11:58,618
He forgot them.
He must have.

185
00:11:58,685 --> 00:12:02,122
He's got to sign them.
Can I still catch him?

186
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:05,625
Sir, you get them papers.
I'll see that you catch him.

Ahoy, the weather deck!

188
00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:15,302
What do you want, Jack?
A new rubber band
for the engine?

189
00:12:15,368 --> 00:12:18,806
Got a special delivery
for the dock.
Can you handle it?

190
00:12:18,872 --> 00:12:21,975
Yeah. Hey, Boats,
throw the hook
over the side.

to tell him
to get a transfer.

to switch over when
you get up there, sir.

put me on the dock.

full of ideas, isn't he?

some guys at the

I just thought
I'd walk in with you.

It's a little early
for dinner, isn't it?

211
00:14:13,486 --> 00:14:16,489
Yeah, but you know,
junior officers have
to get in and get out.

212

you'd have dinner
with us.

to meet my new skipper.

your skipper yet.

You see, I haven't
signed those papers
in your pocket.

216

Yeah. I figured
you forgot them, so
I brought them along.

You really didn't
forget them, did you?

You didn't think
I did, did you?

I know the ship doesn't
look like much, sir,
but it's no scow,

220

and once the men
get to work on it,
you'll be surprised.

If it's on
account of me, sir,
don't worry,

222
00:14:42,849 --> 00:14:44,351
you can get another
junior officer.

223
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:46,686
Wait. Look, kid,
this has nothing
to do with you.

224

It's just that I don't
want to get stuck
on that ship, you see?

And it might have
an important mission.

to New Guinea?"

been at sea.

Let's just say that
he mentioned it
to Admiral Hathaway,

300
00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:10,790
and Admiral Hathaway
suggested that
I get with it or else,

301
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:12,325
and I, in turn...

302
00:18:12,392 --> 00:18:15,128

to do a favor
for an old sailing buddy.

trust with a canoe.

it's a favor, I heard
about your fitness report.

308
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:29,242
That popped up, too?

00:18:29,309 --> 00:18:33,012

your next promotion
around 1980.

Come on. Now, look.

311
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:38,585
All you've got to do
is slip up inside
the Great Barrier Reef,

312
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:41,821
run across the Coral Sea,
and take her into
Port Moresby.

to Santa Barbara once
with five Sea Scouts.

But that's got nothing
to do with this.

318
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,870
No. I picked you because
you're the only man I know
who can do the job.

319
00:18:57,937 --> 00:19:01,107
Now I get it. Now, what,
I sit on that bucket
for the duration?

320
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:03,843
The ship's to be turned
over to the port detachment
in Moresby.

I don't know.
That's their business.

is get it there.

for reassignment the same day
you drop the hook up there.

Now, why don't you
just sign the papers
and get it over with?

00:19:18,057 --> 00:19:20,460
Wait, a reassignment
to what?

326
00:19:20,527 --> 00:19:23,062
You'll have demonstrated
your fitness for command.

328
00:19:25,198 --> 00:19:27,967
Maybe even
a destroyer.

329
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:32,305
This is a chance half
the guys in the fleet would
give their eyeteeth for.

I'm buying a used car?

00:19:35,275 --> 00:19:36,776
(CHUCKLING)

332
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:40,713
How much time
do I have to train, Van?

333
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:43,216
A couple of days, maybe.

334
00:19:43,283 --> 00:19:45,585
Or more. Let's see,
to be in Moresby...

335
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:47,086
Not a chance.

336
00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:50,022
Now, look, Rip,

337
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:52,592
I don't want to have
to lean on you,
but if I have to...

338
00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:54,527
You'd have done it
when I first walked in.

339
00:19:54,594 --> 00:19:56,028
I don't have
to take that ship.

340
00:19:56,095 --> 00:19:57,964
Don't have to face
a court-martial, either.

341
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:01,868
A prospective commanding
officer must first certify
a ship in proper condition...

342
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:04,337
That applies
to assuming command
in a naval shipyard.

343
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:07,574
Paragraph 1 does.
Paragraph 3 states
elsewhere...

344
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,376
All right!

345
00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:11,644
For a direct commission
you got to be a sea lawyer
in a hell of a hurry.

346
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:13,980
Skipper had me memories
a page every time I goofed.

347
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:15,882
Then you must know
the whole book by heart.

348
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,551
But Admiral Hathaway
isn't that soft.

349
00:20:18,618 --> 00:20:20,152
Good luck
on your next duty.

350
00:20:20,987 --> 00:20:22,722
Wait a minute.

351
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:25,658
Van, just give me
10 days to train.

352
00:20:27,093 --> 00:20:29,362
Tell you what,
give you an extra day.

353
00:20:29,429 --> 00:20:31,331
That's impossible,
and you know it.

354
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:34,367
I don't know anything,
except she's got to sail.

355
00:20:34,434 --> 00:20:37,437
Under the second officer,
if necessary.

356
00:20:37,504 --> 00:20:41,007
The kid?
But that's insane.
He couldn't.

357
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:43,710
You know as well
as I do he doesn't
have the experience.

358
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:46,679
Do I? Maybe this
will give it to him.

359
00:20:56,155 --> 00:20:57,857
Did you talk him
into it, sir?

360
00:20:57,924 --> 00:20:59,859
No, but I got
him worried.

361
00:21:01,027 --> 00:21:02,762
Keep working on
his conscience, mister.

362
00:21:02,829 --> 00:21:04,897
Aye, aye, sir.

363
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:08,267
Kid, what's with you
and Vandewater?

364
00:21:08,335 --> 00:21:11,070
Nothing, sir.
He just told me
to stand by.

365
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:14,106
There might be new orders
for the Echo tomorrow, sir.

366
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:18,945
What are you doing
here, anyway?

367
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:21,113
I just came over from
the Officers' Club, sir.

368
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:24,283
I thought, you not
knowing the base,
I'd show you where it was.

369
00:21:24,351 --> 00:21:26,486
I was hoping
you might have dinner
with us, sir.

370
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:29,188
Oh. Sorry,
I didn't mean
to be so suspicious.

371
00:21:30,357 --> 00:21:31,558
Thanks.

372
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:38,398
The new orders, sir.
Does that mean
you got the transfer?

373
00:21:38,465 --> 00:21:40,733
He's gonna talk
to the Admiral.

374
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,168
You'll get it.

375
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:43,736
What makes you say that?

376
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,473
With your experience,
they'll have to
give you a command.

377
00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:48,408
Good officers
are scarce.

378
00:21:48,475 --> 00:21:51,511
Command? If Admiral Dewey
was still running the Navy,

379
00:21:51,578 --> 00:21:54,013
I'd be a big man,
but he ain't.

380
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,048
"Ironsides" Hathaway is.

381
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:01,488
Where did you say
that Officers' Club was?

382
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:04,056
Over there, in back
of the shelter.

383
00:22:20,272 --> 00:22:21,508
I would like
a double anything.

384
00:22:21,574 --> 00:22:23,075
Yes, sir.

385
00:22:23,142 --> 00:22:25,512
Do you have any chit?
Have to get it
from the mess officer.

386
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:26,846
We're not allowed
to take cash.

387
00:22:26,913 --> 00:22:28,515
Here, sir.
You can use mine.

388
00:22:28,581 --> 00:22:29,782
I couldn't do
that to you, too.

389
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:32,318
I mean, it's bad enough
that... Never mind.

390
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:34,854
This is the officer
I was telling you
about, Arthur.

391
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:38,157
Lieutenant Crandall?
This is
a real pleasure, sir.

392
00:22:38,224 --> 00:22:39,859
There's nothing
too good for you, sir.

393
00:22:39,926 --> 00:22:42,695
Mr. Hanson was telling me
you are going to
command the Echo.

394
00:22:42,762 --> 00:22:45,331
If you need an extra hand,
I sure would like a transfer.

395
00:22:45,398 --> 00:22:47,534
If I were going
to command the Echo,

396
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,470
I doubt that
we would observe
the cocktail hour.

397
00:22:50,537 --> 00:22:52,972
No, sir,
he didn't mean that.
He's a real sailor.

398
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,675
Did two years
as a deckhand before
the war. Right, Arthur?

399
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:59,846
Right, sir.
The Old Escobar out of Frisco.
But that was power.

400
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:01,481
And there's nothing
like sail, is there,
Lieutenant?

401
00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:02,715
(MAN KNOCKING)

402
00:23:02,782 --> 00:23:05,685
Coming right up,
gentlemen.

403
00:23:05,752 --> 00:23:11,758
You know, once the sea
gets in your blood, I guess
you never get rid of it, sir.

404
00:23:11,824 --> 00:23:16,162
Tommy, The Old Escobar
out of Frisco is
the ferry to Oakland.

405
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:19,198
I've been on it.
I wish I was on it now.

406
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:22,334
Yes, sir.
Sorry, sir.

407
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:26,038
Did Commander Vandewater
say who they'd get, sir?

408
00:23:26,105 --> 00:23:29,241
No. I imagine
they'll find somebody.
Why?

409
00:23:30,209 --> 00:23:33,079
Oh. No reason, sir.

410
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:37,083
I just thought, with you
in command, I'd get
real practical experience.

411
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:39,586
I've been studying up
on seamanship
and navigation...

412
00:23:39,652 --> 00:23:41,854
Tommy, if you knew
I was gonna be
your skipper,

413
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:43,856
you and Vandewater
cooked this thing up.

414
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:46,593
No, sir. Not until
I saw your name on
the orders this morning.

415
00:23:46,659 --> 00:23:48,160
No pretzels.

416
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:51,263
Then what difference
would it make
who got the assignment?

417
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:54,567
None, sir. Except
I thought I'd try
and show you

418
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:57,737
I wasn't as stupid
as you thought I was.
In Balboa.

419
00:23:57,804 --> 00:23:59,539
I told you before.
That was five years ago...

420
00:23:59,606 --> 00:24:01,107
Excuse me, sir.

421
00:24:01,173 --> 00:24:03,610
The two gentlemen
with the nurse
are waiting for you, sir.

422
00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:06,546
Thanks.
Won't you join us, sir?
I told them about you, too.

423
00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:08,915
I see. And you primed them
full of the salty talk

424
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:12,685
on how they were
gonna sail with me, too?
What are you trying to...

425
00:24:12,752 --> 00:24:14,186
I'm sorry.
It's really nothing.

426
00:24:14,253 --> 00:24:15,888
I've got a lot
on my mind.

427
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:17,423
It's been
a tough afternoon.
You run along.

428
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:18,625
I'm sorry.
I'll join you later.

429
00:24:18,691 --> 00:24:19,892
Yes, sir.

430
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,428
(WHISPERING) Arthur.

431
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:29,135
Would you like me to
freshen it up a bit, sir?

432
00:24:29,201 --> 00:24:30,603
You're gonna
freshen that up?

433
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:32,672
(LAUGHING) You can't fly
on one wing, sir.

434
00:24:32,739 --> 00:24:34,574
(LAUGHING UNCOMFORTABLY)

435
00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:47,687
Thanks, Jimmy.
And don't bother to wait.

436
00:24:47,754 --> 00:24:49,055
Yes, ma'am. Thanks.

437
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,802
Coming through.
Pardon me, gentlemen.

438
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:16,916
Do one of these.
Kid, I got one
that will stop you.

439
00:25:18,317 --> 00:25:20,086
(PLAYING PIANO)

440
00:25:24,991 --> 00:25:26,559
Okay.

441
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:27,894
(SCATTING)

442
00:25:37,069 --> 00:25:42,108
* Do you know
what it means
to miss New Orleans

443
00:25:42,174 --> 00:25:45,444
* And miss it
each night and day?

444
00:25:46,946 --> 00:25:49,281
* I know I'm not wrong

445
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:51,784
* The feeling's
getting stronger

446
00:25:51,851 --> 00:25:54,721
* The longer
I stay away

447
00:25:55,855 --> 00:25:58,891
* Miss the moss-covered vines

448
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:01,293
* The tall sugar pines

449
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,430
* Where mockin' birds
used to sing

450
00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:08,400
* And I'd like to see

451
00:26:08,467 --> 00:26:10,970
* The lazy Mississippi

452
00:26:11,037 --> 00:26:15,742
* A-hurryin' into spring

453
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:19,979
* The moonlight
on the bayou

454
00:26:20,046 --> 00:26:24,884
* A Creole tune
that fills the air

455
00:26:24,951 --> 00:26:29,555
* I dream about magnolias
in June

456
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:33,259
* And soon I'm wishing
that I was there

457
00:26:33,325 --> 00:26:34,727
(SCATTING)

458
00:26:34,794 --> 00:26:37,529
* Do you know
what it means

459
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,932
* To miss New Orleans

460
00:26:39,999 --> 00:26:43,302
* When that's where
you left your heart?

461
00:26:44,904 --> 00:26:47,273
* And there's somethin' more

462
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:50,009
* I miss
the one I care for

463
00:26:50,076 --> 00:26:54,046
* More than I miss
New Orleans *

464
00:26:56,082 --> 00:26:59,351
Wonderful, boy.

465
00:27:00,987 --> 00:27:04,090
Tommy, you're magnificent.
Wonderful.

466
00:27:04,156 --> 00:27:05,925
Hanson, you were the...
Wait a minute.

467
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:08,194
Where are you going?
We're just
getting warmed up.

468
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:09,762
We should get back
to the ship, sir.

469
00:27:09,829 --> 00:27:12,198
We have to get
the anchor watch set.
Ship's security.

470
00:27:12,264 --> 00:27:13,833
Yeah, you're right.
I'll just finish this.

471
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:16,235
Here he comes.
I love your work.

472
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:18,370
From the time
we came in here
this afternoon,

473
00:27:18,437 --> 00:27:21,540
this guy's kept my glass
filled with whiskey
so you can shanghai me.

474
00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:24,210
Where'd you get
"we gotta go back
to the ship" business?

475
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:26,212
Will you fill me
with the sauce
and then...

476
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:28,047
No, sir. You left
your gear over there.

477
00:27:28,114 --> 00:27:29,515
And you haven't got
a place to stay.

478
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:31,383
Until you're reassigned,
I mean.

479
00:27:31,450 --> 00:27:32,584
Right.

480
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:35,722
I could stay
at the Bachelor
Officers' Quarters.

481
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:39,625
Yes, sir. I forgot.
I'll have them
bring your gear over.

482
00:27:39,692 --> 00:27:41,327
No, wait a minute, kid.

483
00:27:41,393 --> 00:27:43,462
I'm sorry.
I've been needling
you all night long

484
00:27:43,529 --> 00:27:45,464
and you haven't done
anything to deserve it.

485
00:27:45,531 --> 00:27:48,600
It's just something
is eating me.

486
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:50,302
Look, just chalk it
up to the fact

487
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:54,140
that I'm a heel,
and you're much better off
that I didn't take command.

488
00:27:54,206 --> 00:27:57,343
No, I couldn't do that, sir.
You have to do what
you think is right.

489
00:27:57,409 --> 00:27:59,045
I'll have them bring
your gear over.

490
00:27:59,111 --> 00:28:01,013
No.

491
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,950
Leave it there and
I'll pick it up sometime.

492
00:28:04,016 --> 00:28:07,353
Give me a chance
to see the hulk again.
And you.

493
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:12,191
Thank you, sir.
Good night, sir.

494
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:14,360
Take care
of yourself, kid.

495
00:28:27,774 --> 00:28:30,209
Miss Typewriter of 1943.

496
00:28:30,276 --> 00:28:32,011
What happened to
your efficiency expert?

497
00:28:32,078 --> 00:28:34,613
Did he get his head
caught in a filing cabinet,
I hope?

498
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,649
Never mind,
old daddy's here. Arthur.
Old daddy's here.

499
00:28:37,716 --> 00:28:40,152
Would you bring this girl
something tall and cool?

500
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:41,420
If you don't mind,
Lieutenant,

501
00:28:41,487 --> 00:28:43,189
I'm looking for
an Ensign Hanson.

502
00:28:43,255 --> 00:28:45,691
He's your date?
He gets around better
than I thought.

503
00:28:45,758 --> 00:28:47,493
This is official
Navy business, sir.

504
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,029
I have some documents
which must be
signed by 2300.

505
00:28:50,096 --> 00:28:51,798
There you go with
those numbers again.

506
00:28:51,864 --> 00:28:53,399
Ensign Hanson
just left, ma'am.

507
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:54,666
I could try
and catch him.

508
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,169
He left in a fast jeep.
What documents?

509
00:28:57,236 --> 00:28:59,806
I don't believe
that's any concern
of yours, Lieutenant.

510
00:28:59,872 --> 00:29:02,408
It's in connection
with Ensign Hanson's
ship, the Echo.

511
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:05,711
I see. At the moment,
I'm still under orders
to take command.

512
00:29:05,778 --> 00:29:09,048
And if you don't mind,
anything concerning
the Echo also concerns me.

513
00:29:09,115 --> 00:29:11,383
Would you step
into my office
for a moment, please?

514
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:14,887
Arthur! The wine.
Here we are,
open for business.

515
00:29:14,954 --> 00:29:16,522
Let's see the papers.

516
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:19,591
I understood you were
to be reassigned, sir.

517
00:29:19,658 --> 00:29:20,993
I don't think I should.

518
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:23,195
I haven't been
reassigned yet.
Give me the papers.

519
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:25,865
I want to see the swindle
Vandewater's trying to pull.

520
00:29:25,932 --> 00:29:29,535
This has nothing to do
with Commander Vandewater.

521
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:33,605
And I don't think Admiral
Hathaway would appreciate
your terminology.

522
00:29:33,672 --> 00:29:35,707
They're the acceptance
papers from the Echo.

523
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:37,709
The Admiral wants
them signed tonight.

524
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,145
By Ensign Hanson?

525
00:29:39,211 --> 00:29:41,213
By Ensign Hanson.

526
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,250
If you really need him,
his ship's down
at the end of the dock.

527
00:29:44,316 --> 00:29:45,617
I can send a fellow
over for him.

528
00:29:45,684 --> 00:29:47,486
You're a little
over-trained.

529
00:29:47,553 --> 00:29:50,122
If you're not careful,
I'll have you transferred
to the Echo.

530
00:29:50,189 --> 00:29:52,358
ARTHUR: Yes, sir.
Sorry, sir.

531
00:29:52,424 --> 00:29:54,393
He did it.
He wasn't bluffing.

532
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:57,563
I think that Admiral
will have his grandmother
made skipper.

533
00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:00,266
Are they all
in order, sir?

534
00:30:00,332 --> 00:30:02,301
Right down to
the fine print.

535
00:30:02,368 --> 00:30:05,972
In that case, you can't
have any objection to
Ensign Hanson signing them.

536
00:30:06,038 --> 00:30:07,806
Where did you say
his ship is?

537
00:30:07,874 --> 00:30:09,741
Bye, Arthur.
ARTHUR: Bye, sir.

538
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:13,712
Now, Lieutenant, look.
I told you, the Admiral wants
those papers signed by...

539
00:30:13,779 --> 00:30:15,514
They will be.
You got a pen?

540
00:30:15,581 --> 00:30:16,815
Yes, sir.

541
00:30:18,784 --> 00:30:22,754
But they have to be
signed by the officer
taking command.

542
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:24,991
I know that.
Give me the pen.

543
00:30:31,563 --> 00:30:35,267
Gosh, Lieutenant,
after the way you
behaved this afternoon,

544
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:38,905
I wouldn't have thought
a team of horses could've
gotten you on that ship.

545
00:30:38,971 --> 00:30:40,139
Shut up.

546
00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:46,578
(SIGHS) Well,
mission accomplished.

547
00:30:46,645 --> 00:30:47,846
Good work, Hanson.

548
00:30:47,914 --> 00:30:49,648
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.

549
00:30:50,416 --> 00:30:52,184
I guess.
Good night.

Shark Bait,
will you just try
to stay with it?

552
00:31:10,269 --> 00:31:11,637
I'm sorry, Chief.

553
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:13,005
Good morning, sir.

554
00:31:13,072 --> 00:31:14,173
Hmm.

555
00:31:20,746 --> 00:31:22,848
Beautiful morning, Captain.

557
00:31:36,795 --> 00:31:40,099
You might have
better luck... Chief.

558
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:47,706
You might have better luck
with that thing if you laid
the gasket on the boom first.

559
00:31:47,773 --> 00:31:48,941
Yes, sir. Lay the...

560
00:31:49,008 --> 00:31:50,476
Gasket.

561
00:31:50,542 --> 00:31:53,545
Under the foot
of the sails there,
on the boom.

562
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:54,813
Yes, sir.

563
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:57,016
Your coffee, sir.

564
00:31:57,083 --> 00:31:58,584
Oh. thank you.

(GULPS)

566
00:32:10,729 --> 00:32:12,664
What was in that?

567
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:16,268
That was an egg, sir.
And Mr...

568
00:32:16,335 --> 00:32:19,871
I thought it'd settle
the grounds, sir.
Something wrong with it?

569
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:21,673
Yeah. I thought
I swallowed my tongue.

570
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:24,576
Mr. Hanson meant eggshells
in the bottom of the pot.

571
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:26,712
Not a raw egg
in the cup.

572
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:29,515
What were you before
you entered the service?

573
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:32,618
I was a cook, sir.
I've been one for years.

574
00:32:32,684 --> 00:32:34,753
I'll have another cup.
With grounds.

575
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:36,322
Yes, sir.

576
00:32:45,998 --> 00:32:49,501
Shackle the foresheet
to the traveler.
Good morning, sir.

577
00:32:50,436 --> 00:32:51,970
(WHISPERING)
This to that.

578
00:32:55,107 --> 00:32:57,043
This is supposed
to be the winch?

579
00:32:57,109 --> 00:33:00,079
Huh? Oh, I beg
your pardon, sir.

580
00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:01,513
Winch?
Yeah.

581
00:33:02,581 --> 00:33:06,418
No, sir. This is
a spark plug, sir.

582
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:11,257
I was talking about
the engine itself.
This is the power takeoff?

583
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:14,793
Beats me, sir.
Mr. Hanson just told me
to get it running.

584
00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:16,995
I see. What's your name?

585
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:19,531
Sparks, sir.

586
00:33:19,598 --> 00:33:20,966
Radioman,
Second Class, sir.

587
00:33:21,033 --> 00:33:23,202
Yes, all radiomen
are called Sparks.

588
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:26,072
I mean, what is
your actual name?

589
00:33:26,138 --> 00:33:30,709
That's it, sir.
A.J. Sparks Jr.

590
00:33:30,776 --> 00:33:33,979
Funny, ain't it? I mean,
being named Sparks
and making radioman.

591
00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:35,547
It's very...

592
00:33:35,614 --> 00:33:38,650
All I wanna know
is if this is
the power takeoff?

593
00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:42,254
I wrote my old man about it.
And he's A.J. Sparks Sr.

594
00:33:42,321 --> 00:33:45,157
But he darn near
died laughing.

00:33:45,224 --> 00:33:47,059

he didn't.

to send watch
to breakfast.

I'd like to see
the foresail
set first, mister.

Yes, sir.

601
00:34:00,739 --> 00:34:02,374
Set the foresail.

Aye, aye, sir.

to set the foresail!

a couple of times
around the winch.

610
00:34:40,712 --> 00:34:43,682
Get that line
ready for running.

611
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:45,951
Come on.
Get that other line clear.

00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,556
Stand by
to hoist away.

it shouldn't be.

Mr. Hanson and myself,

00:48:39,384 --> 00:48:41,652
(THUNDER RUMBLING)

836
00:48:43,554 --> 00:48:46,857
If I ever get my hands
on that Vandewater...

837
00:49:04,109 --> 00:49:05,443
Yes, sir?

838
00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:08,079
Get this from the files
immediately, please.

839
00:49:11,749 --> 00:49:13,551
Now, then,

840
00:49:13,618 --> 00:49:16,387
what's the report on
that schooner we sent
to Moresby last week?

841
00:49:16,454 --> 00:49:19,190
The...
Echo, sir.

842
00:49:19,257 --> 00:49:22,893
She rode out a storm
Tuesday night and was sighted
from the air yesterday.

843
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,896
From the position report,
they'll raise
the New Guinea coast...

844
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:28,466
Don't guess, Commander.
I want to know.

845
00:49:28,533 --> 00:49:31,636
That ship is a vital part
of joint operations.

846
00:49:31,702 --> 00:49:33,504
The Echo, sir?
The Echo.

847
00:49:33,571 --> 00:49:35,973
What do you know
about an officer
named Foster?

848
00:49:36,041 --> 00:49:39,044
Lieutenant
Dennis M. Foster.

849
00:49:39,110 --> 00:49:42,413
Why, nothing, sir.
Should I, sir?

850
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,316
He's been assigned
to take the Echo
to Cape Gloucester.

851
00:49:45,383 --> 00:49:47,518
Cape Gloucester
on New Britain, sir?

852
00:49:47,585 --> 00:49:49,720
Why, that's
enemy territory.

853
00:49:52,457 --> 00:49:54,225
Very good, Vandewater.

854
00:49:54,292 --> 00:49:57,695
It also happens to be
an excellent place to watch
Japanese ship movements.

855
00:49:57,762 --> 00:49:59,364
For the past six
or seven months,

856
00:49:59,430 --> 00:50:03,701
the Australians have
had a coast watcher
there doing that.

857
00:50:03,768 --> 00:50:07,238
Then, two weeks ago,
in the middle
of a transmission,

858
00:50:07,305 --> 00:50:09,340
he went off the air.

859
00:50:09,407 --> 00:50:11,576
Killed?
Taken prisoner, sir?

860
00:50:12,610 --> 00:50:14,079
I don't know.

861
00:50:16,781 --> 00:50:19,617
But that's why the Echo
was sent to Moresby

862
00:50:19,684 --> 00:50:21,052
on a faint chance

863
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:24,622
that it could take in
a replacement if
everything else failed.

864
00:50:24,689 --> 00:50:27,125
A sub couldn't drop
the man off at night?

865
00:50:27,192 --> 00:50:31,062
What was the Spearfish
doing in the Solomon sea
last week?

866
00:50:31,129 --> 00:50:35,100
Uncharted reefs will
make it impossible to get
anywhere near the coast.

867
00:50:35,166 --> 00:50:38,236
And an airdrop is
out of the question.

868
00:50:38,303 --> 00:50:42,173
No, it's got to be
a shallow draft vessel
like the Echo.

869
00:50:44,109 --> 00:50:48,079
The Australian replacement
is in Moresby waiting
for the ship to arrive.

870
00:50:48,146 --> 00:50:51,416
As soon as it does,
this man Foster
is supposed to take command

871
00:50:51,482 --> 00:50:55,553
and try and make the run up
to Cape Gloucester.

872
00:50:55,620 --> 00:51:00,291
I'd feel better
if I knew more about him.
It's a ticklish job.

873
00:51:00,358 --> 00:51:02,927
I'll get Lieutenant
Foster's file
out immediately.

874
00:51:02,993 --> 00:51:04,895
I've got it right here.

875
00:51:05,563 --> 00:51:07,832
Oh.

876
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:12,737
He seems to be qualified,
and Captain McClung
picked him.

877
00:51:12,803 --> 00:51:18,243
He commands port detachment
of Moresby and ought to know
what he's doing.

878
00:51:18,309 --> 00:51:20,845
He wants to hold
Lieutenant Crandall
for a few days

879
00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:25,183
until Foster's familiar enough
with the ship to take over.

880
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:27,985
Tell him he can have
Lieutenant Crandall
for as long as he likes.

881
00:51:28,052 --> 00:51:29,254
Yes, sir.

882
00:51:41,766 --> 00:51:45,303
Lieutenant Foster
will not relieve
Lieutenant Crandall

883
00:51:45,370 --> 00:51:48,306
until, in the opinion
of the port captain,

884
00:51:48,373 --> 00:51:52,543
Lieutenant Foster
is fully qualified
to command the Echo.

885
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:57,448
That means I can
hold Crandall here
as long as I like.

886
00:51:57,515 --> 00:52:00,285
That make you any
happier about Foster?

887
00:52:00,351 --> 00:52:02,720
I've got nothing
against the bloke.

888
00:52:02,787 --> 00:52:05,323
He's just not the type
that I'd pick for a mate.

889
00:52:05,390 --> 00:52:06,891
He's a good officer.

890
00:52:06,957 --> 00:52:10,295
The best. A real
sterling character.

891
00:52:10,361 --> 00:52:12,730
But if you can have
this Crandall bloke,

892
00:52:12,797 --> 00:52:14,465
why can't he stay
in command?

893
00:52:14,532 --> 00:52:18,403
Because his job is
to acquaint Foster
with the Echo, that's why.

894
00:52:18,936 --> 00:52:20,338
Oh.

895
00:52:25,543 --> 00:52:30,381
Of course, we could
try sending you in again
in another sub.

896
00:52:31,482 --> 00:52:33,251
Now, wait a minute.

897
00:52:34,252 --> 00:52:37,087
I'm crazy about Foster.

898
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:39,624
Where is that
flaming ship, anyway?

899
00:52:39,690 --> 00:52:40,991
Simmer down, Pat.

900
00:52:41,826 --> 00:52:43,461
She'll be along.

901
00:52:48,433 --> 00:52:49,667
On deck!

902
00:52:50,401 --> 00:52:52,303
CRANDALL: What's that?

903
00:52:52,370 --> 00:52:54,505
I can make out a pier
in the harbor, sir.

904
00:53:01,512 --> 00:53:05,182
Nan. Easy.
Roger. King.

905
00:53:05,250 --> 00:53:07,685
That's her, Mr. Foster,
the Echo.

906
00:53:09,454 --> 00:53:11,989
FOSTER: I was afraid
of that. A tub.

907
00:53:12,457 --> 00:53:14,158
All right.

908
00:53:14,225 --> 00:53:16,794
Contact and please
pass the word to stand by
for special instructions.

909
00:53:16,861 --> 00:53:18,429
Aye, aye, sir.

910
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:22,733
There's a building
at the shore end.

911
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,302
That must be
the port detachment.

912
00:53:24,369 --> 00:53:27,738
Fine. Sparks,
ready on the engine.
Some navigation, mister.

913
00:53:27,805 --> 00:53:29,774
Have the boatswain
stand by to down sail.

914
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,108
Sir!
What's the trouble?

915
00:53:31,175 --> 00:53:33,110
I wish I knew.
I can't
get it started.

916
00:53:33,177 --> 00:53:35,546
I checked
the ignition system,
the valves, the pumps.

917
00:53:35,613 --> 00:53:36,981
I'm going through
the fuel lines.

918
00:53:37,047 --> 00:53:38,816
Can we take her in
under canvas?

919
00:53:38,883 --> 00:53:40,385
No room
to maneuver in there.

920
00:53:40,451 --> 00:53:42,219
We'd be going in
in style.

921
00:53:42,287 --> 00:53:44,622
In style?
As long as we don't
end up on the beach.

922
00:53:44,689 --> 00:53:46,824
How long is it gonna
take you to fix it?

923
00:53:46,891 --> 00:53:49,294
If I can find the
trouble, not long.
But if I can't?

924
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,829
We have orders to get in
as fast as we can.
Get with it.

925
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:55,165
Wipe that grin off
your face. This isn't
as easy as it looks.

926
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:57,768
Keep the deck.
Hold that beacon
in your port bow

927
00:53:57,835 --> 00:54:00,538
till I give the order
to come about.
Hold this.

928
00:54:08,513 --> 00:54:11,416
No reason to get excited.
It's a tricky maneuver.

929
00:54:11,482 --> 00:54:15,019
If you handle your duties
as well as you've been doing,
we'll be all right.

930
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:16,854
There's one very
important thing.

931
00:54:16,921 --> 00:54:19,156
We'll be on the wind
when we fetch that dock.

932
00:54:19,223 --> 00:54:21,191
I must come up fast,
lose weight,

933
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:22,960
try to coast alongside,
understand?

934
00:54:23,027 --> 00:54:24,161
When we start to luff...

935
00:54:24,228 --> 00:54:25,763
That's when
the sails flap?

936
00:54:25,830 --> 00:54:29,300
Right. I want
every inch of canvas down
as fast as possible.

937
00:54:29,367 --> 00:54:30,968
Mister, stand by
to come about.

938
00:54:31,035 --> 00:54:33,338
Man the sheets.
Keep a close haul.

939
00:54:33,404 --> 00:54:35,940
Tell the man up
the crosstrees
to watch the gaff jaws.

940
00:54:36,006 --> 00:54:37,274
I don't want them
sticking again.

941
00:54:37,342 --> 00:54:40,411
Aye, aye, sir.
Guys, keep your eye
on the...

942
00:54:40,478 --> 00:54:42,112
(GUNS FIRING)

943
00:54:43,581 --> 00:54:45,015
Somebody's firing at us.

944
00:54:45,082 --> 00:54:46,451
Over us, so far.

945
00:54:49,687 --> 00:54:51,822
(GUNS FIRING)

946
00:54:51,889 --> 00:54:54,725
What did we do?
Lose the war already?

947
00:54:54,792 --> 00:54:55,893
Sparks!

948
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,995
Who's responsible
for firing on that ship?

949
00:54:58,062 --> 00:54:59,697
I was trying
to warn them, sir.

950
00:54:59,764 --> 00:55:02,867
They've not answered our
transmission and don't know
of harbor defenses.

951
00:55:02,933 --> 00:55:04,869
She's already
in the harbor!

952
00:55:04,935 --> 00:55:08,038
Did it ever occur
to you she might be
on a radio silence?

953
00:55:08,105 --> 00:55:10,708
They're coming any minute.
Get down and warn him off.

954
00:55:10,775 --> 00:55:11,876
Yes, sir.

955
00:55:17,214 --> 00:55:18,849
Where are you?

956
00:55:18,916 --> 00:55:20,485
I'm sorry,
I can't get the
engine started.

957
00:55:20,551 --> 00:55:23,721
Get the transmitter.
I want to know
who fired on us and why.

958
00:55:23,788 --> 00:55:26,891
I can't do that either.
It doesn't put out
without the engine.

959
00:55:26,957 --> 00:55:28,225
CHIEF: Sir!
What?

960
00:55:28,292 --> 00:55:30,227
There's a flashing light
on the dock.

961
00:55:30,294 --> 00:55:33,398
Take out the hand blinker.
Stand by to come about.

962
00:55:33,464 --> 00:55:34,632
Aye, aye, sir.

963
00:55:34,699 --> 00:55:37,334
All hands stand by
to heave to.

964
00:55:47,277 --> 00:55:48,679
What's the matter
with them?

965
00:55:48,746 --> 00:55:50,581
They're going
right into it.

966
00:55:51,449 --> 00:55:52,550
Got them now, sir.

967
00:55:52,617 --> 00:55:53,751
Tell them.

968
00:55:56,253 --> 00:55:57,588
(STUTTERS)

969
00:55:59,657 --> 00:56:01,025
What do you got?

970
00:56:01,692 --> 00:56:02,960
"You are

971
00:56:06,363 --> 00:56:07,632
"approaching..."

00:56:08,766 --> 00:56:10,835
Cancel it,
they're already
in it.

973
00:56:11,836 --> 00:56:14,138
Tell them quick.

974
00:56:14,204 --> 00:56:16,106
Canceled.
Restart, sir.

975
00:56:16,173 --> 00:56:19,710
All they're telling us
is we're approaching
a navy dock.

976
00:56:19,777 --> 00:56:20,978
"You are

977
00:56:21,479 --> 00:56:22,747

"area."
Isn't that nice?

981
00:56:31,622 --> 00:56:34,324
Must be the chamber
of commerce.
What are they saying?

982
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:35,893
Excuse me, sir.
That "F" was an "M."

983
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,127
That's different.

00:56:37,194 --> 00:56:38,195
"You are in
a mine area."

985
00:56:38,262 --> 00:56:40,097
Mine area?
Get directions, quick!

986
00:56:40,164 --> 00:56:43,033
Lookout, keep
your eyes peeled
for subsurface objects.

987
00:56:58,382 --> 00:57:00,818
There's something
there now, sir!

988
00:57:00,885 --> 00:57:02,553
Dead ahead!

00:57:02,620 --> 00:57:06,123
There they are!
Two of them!
Dead ahead, sir!

00:57:06,190 --> 00:57:07,858
Orderly!

991
00:57:07,925 --> 00:57:09,259
LOOKOUT:
Another one, sir.
Off the port bow.

992
00:57:09,326 --> 00:57:11,762
Man the back stage.
Go forward,
get that centerboard up.

993
00:57:11,829 --> 00:57:13,363
She won't answer
the helm.

994
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,200
It won't make any difference
if we hit a mine. Go on.

995
00:57:22,507 --> 00:57:24,108
They request
we move inshore, sir.

996
00:57:24,174 --> 00:57:25,375
Get back to that
engine, quick.

Another one at starboard.

00:58:50,127 --> 00:58:53,330
They're out of it.
Tell them
they're in the clear.

1003
00:59:00,705 --> 00:59:02,006
CHIEF: On deck!

1004
00:59:04,208 --> 00:59:07,444
Low waters ahead, sir.

1005
00:59:07,511 --> 00:59:09,614
Lower away
all sails, Tommy.

1006
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,417
Drop that centerboard.
Sparks, put it forward.

1007
00:59:13,483 --> 00:59:15,986
Lower away all sails!
Let's get this down.

1008
00:59:20,024 --> 00:59:22,292
The gaff jaws
are stuck again.

1009
00:59:24,695 --> 00:59:27,564
Kick that
gaff jaw free.

1010
00:59:32,469 --> 00:59:33,638
OFFICER:
Centerboard down, sir.

1011
00:59:33,704 --> 00:59:34,739
Right!

1012
00:59:37,141 --> 00:59:39,076
You monster,
come about.

1013
01:00:02,767 --> 01:00:05,435
Sir, we're closing
on the dock.

1014
01:00:05,502 --> 01:00:07,705
What?
Back full, Sparks!

1015
01:00:13,143 --> 01:00:14,812
(HISSING)

1016
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:25,022
Sir, we're gonna
ram the dock.

1017
01:00:25,089 --> 01:00:27,591
No. Go forward and
get ready to let go of
the anchor starboard.

1018
01:00:27,658 --> 01:00:28,959
Aye, aye, sir.

1019
01:00:29,026 --> 01:00:31,796
CHIEF: Johnson,
bear a hand
on the anchor.

1020
01:00:31,862 --> 01:00:35,432
Cameo, grab that line.
Stop it up short.
Tend that line.

1021
01:00:39,236 --> 01:00:42,039
Sparks, I said
back full!

1022
01:00:42,106 --> 01:00:44,675
Excuse me, sir,
she quit on me
again.

1023
01:00:44,742 --> 01:00:47,477
Go forward
and rig the fenders
on the port side.

1024
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:57,321
Shark Bait,
let go of the anchor
and hold it underfoot.

1025
01:01:11,501 --> 01:01:13,003
Man overboard!

1026
01:01:26,550 --> 01:01:28,018
(CRASHING)

1027
01:01:32,456 --> 01:01:34,792
Look out below!

1028
01:01:46,636 --> 01:01:48,305
Nice work, mister.

1029
01:01:50,975 --> 01:01:53,677
What did
you say, sir?

1030
01:01:53,744 --> 01:01:55,980
I said, very nice.

1031
01:01:56,046 --> 01:01:59,116
Is that all for this
performance, or have
you got an encore?

1032
01:01:59,183 --> 01:02:01,518
HANSON: I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
This is a centerboard ship...

1033
01:02:01,585 --> 01:02:02,820
A ship?

1034
01:02:02,887 --> 01:02:06,456
Why, I was
under the impression
that it was a USO Tour.

1035
01:02:06,523 --> 01:02:09,293
This is an official
Navy ship, sir.

1036
01:02:09,359 --> 01:02:12,596
The crew is doing
the best they could
under the circumstances.

1037
01:02:12,662 --> 01:02:16,333
This crew is doing
the best they can?

1038
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,104
I suggest
you take this crew out
for about six months.

1039
01:02:20,170 --> 01:02:22,706
Who the hell do you think
you're talking to?

1040
01:02:23,740 --> 01:02:25,442
This is my ship.

1041
01:02:25,509 --> 01:02:27,812
Anything this crew does
is under my orders.

1042
01:02:27,878 --> 01:02:31,015
If you have any
further remarks about
this ship or my crew,

1043
01:02:31,081 --> 01:02:33,250
you come aboard
and make them to me.

1044
01:02:35,352 --> 01:02:36,653
Throw the sails.

1045
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:37,922
Astern to.

1046
01:02:40,557 --> 01:02:43,227
Thank you for
your invitation, Captain.

1047
01:02:43,293 --> 01:02:45,495
Since I'm relieving you,
that won't be necessary.

1048
01:02:45,562 --> 01:02:48,833
Whatever I have
to say to this crew,
I'll say to them directly.

1049
01:02:48,899 --> 01:02:50,534
You're taking over?

1050
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,371
As soon as
you report your arrival
to the port captain.

1051
01:02:54,438 --> 01:02:57,741
I would be obliged
if you do that
as quickly as possible.

1052
01:03:12,622 --> 01:03:14,158
(DEJECTEDLY)
Furl the sails.

1053
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:24,034
Mmm-hmm.

1054
01:03:26,770 --> 01:03:28,638
Excellent, Lieutenant.

1055
01:03:29,506 --> 01:03:30,607
At ease, please.

1056
01:03:30,674 --> 01:03:31,741
Yes, sir.

1057
01:03:34,144 --> 01:03:37,347
You've done a remarkable job
bringing that ship up here.

1058
01:03:37,414 --> 01:03:39,749
Thank you, sir.
I had a remarkable crew.

1059
01:03:39,816 --> 01:03:44,188
Yes, I saw them
in action
as you came in.

1060
01:03:44,254 --> 01:03:47,691
I'm sorry you won't
be commanding them
on the mission.

1061
01:03:47,757 --> 01:03:49,159
Mission?

1062
01:03:49,226 --> 01:03:52,963
You don't think
we brought that ship up
here just for the ride?

1063
01:03:53,030 --> 01:03:56,700
Oh, I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
The mission is top secret.

1064
01:03:56,766 --> 01:03:58,635
You weren't informed,
were you?

1065
01:03:58,702 --> 01:03:59,736
No, sir.

1066
01:03:59,803 --> 01:04:02,272
Come here.

1067
01:04:02,339 --> 01:04:06,476
Temporarily, the ship
is being placed at the
disposal of the Air Force.

1068
01:04:06,543 --> 01:04:09,546
It's imperative
that they get one
of their men ashore

1069
01:04:09,613 --> 01:04:11,581
here on
Cape Gloucester.

1070
01:04:11,648 --> 01:04:13,283
In New Britain?
With the Echo?

1071
01:04:13,350 --> 01:04:15,219
Yeah.

1072
01:04:15,285 --> 01:04:19,423
They seem to think
if she's disguised
as a Navy training craft,

1073
01:04:19,489 --> 01:04:21,391
that she has a chance.

1074
01:04:21,458 --> 01:04:24,794
That's what
they're doing
to your ship now.

1075
01:04:24,861 --> 01:04:26,296
Camouflaging it.

1076
01:04:26,363 --> 01:04:30,400
And the Air Force
will provide what
fighter cover they can.

1077
01:04:30,467 --> 01:04:32,702
Fortunately, that won't
concern you, will it?

1078
01:04:32,769 --> 01:04:34,071
No, sir.

1079
01:04:34,138 --> 01:04:36,974
You've met
your replacement,
Lieutenant Foster?

1080
01:04:37,041 --> 01:04:38,242
(CLEARING THROAT)
Yes, sir.

1081
01:04:38,308 --> 01:04:40,177
Uh-huh. Fine.

1082
01:04:40,244 --> 01:04:43,680
I have Admiral Hathaway's
permission to hold you here

1083
01:04:43,747 --> 01:04:47,684
until you can
familiarize Foster
with Echo.

1084
01:04:47,751 --> 01:04:50,187
I know you're anxious
to get back to town...

1085
01:04:50,254 --> 01:04:51,688
That's all right.

1086
01:04:51,755 --> 01:04:54,758
It would take some time
for the men to get used
to a new skipper.

1087
01:04:54,824 --> 01:04:57,361
It won't take more
than 48 hours.

1088
01:05:00,264 --> 01:05:03,033
I don't suppose
you would be...

1089
01:05:03,100 --> 01:05:04,701
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
DAVIS: Sir?

1090
01:05:04,768 --> 01:05:06,503
Yes, Davis,
what is it?

1091
01:05:06,570 --> 01:05:08,872
Air Force reports
enemy bombers
over the Solomon Sea.

1092
01:05:08,939 --> 01:05:10,240
Uh-huh.

1093
01:05:10,307 --> 01:05:13,843
They expect a raid
in 20 to 25 minutes.

1094
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:17,014
Mr. Patterson and
the native corporal
are in the briefing room.

1095
01:05:17,081 --> 01:05:18,983
Shall I ask them
to wait for
the all clear?

1096
01:05:19,049 --> 01:05:20,951
The lieutenant and I
will be over directly.

1097
01:05:21,018 --> 01:05:22,552
Yes, sir.

1098
01:05:22,619 --> 01:05:25,289
Warn Echo. Tell those
air force people
to clear the dock.

1099
01:05:25,355 --> 01:05:26,623
DAVIS: Yes, sir.

1100
01:05:36,300 --> 01:05:38,735
They're going up
to make the intercept.

1101
01:05:45,809 --> 01:05:48,078
Our CIC Room
is over here.

1102
01:05:52,782 --> 01:05:55,252
RADIO OPERATOR:
Bogie 1 appears
to be splitting.

1103
01:05:55,319 --> 01:05:58,222
MAN: Designated raids.
One Abel and one Baker.

1104
01:05:59,089 --> 01:06:00,357
RADIO OPERATOR:
One Baker.

1105
01:06:00,424 --> 01:06:03,327
0-5-5. 43.

1106
01:06:03,393 --> 01:06:06,696
We know there's a convoy
building up here over BAM.

1107
01:06:06,763 --> 01:06:09,533
I'm fairly certain
it'll take off
in the next 10 days,

1108
01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:12,069
run along
the north coast
of New Britain

1109
01:06:12,136 --> 01:06:14,038
and land troops
either here at Madang

1110
01:06:14,104 --> 01:06:15,839
or down here at Lae.

1111
01:06:15,905 --> 01:06:18,342
Lae, they'll land
at Lae.

1112
01:06:18,408 --> 01:06:20,944
They'd be a month
coming over land
from Madang.

1113
01:06:21,011 --> 01:06:24,381
We also know
that they'll be making
a grave tactical error,

1114
01:06:24,448 --> 01:06:27,751
Mr. Patterson,
that's right.

1115
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:31,288
No Navy man would risk
putting ships through
narrow straits like that.

1116
01:06:31,355 --> 01:06:34,891
They'd be a sitting duck
during an aerial attack.

1117
01:06:34,958 --> 01:06:36,393
Isn't that
right, sir?

1118
01:06:36,460 --> 01:06:38,395
Oh, absolutely,
Lieutenant.

1119
01:06:38,462 --> 01:06:40,564
What Patterson
is thinking of,
though,

1120
01:06:40,630 --> 01:06:44,434
is this weather front
that's moving in
from the central Pacific.

1121
01:06:44,501 --> 01:06:47,971
By the end of the week,
this whole area will be
socked in so tight

1122
01:06:48,038 --> 01:06:51,408
there won't be any chance
for aerial observation.

1123
01:06:51,475 --> 01:06:53,543
That's why it's so vital

1124
01:06:53,610 --> 01:06:57,114
to get Pat in there
to take the place
of that coast watcher

1125
01:06:57,181 --> 01:06:59,983
who disappeared.
Tom Evans.
Wasn't that his name?

1126
01:07:00,050 --> 01:07:01,818
Yeah.

1127
01:07:01,885 --> 01:07:05,589
Then we can hope, with
Pat's help, to get a visual
sighting from the land.

1128
01:07:05,655 --> 01:07:07,424
Mmm-hmm.

1129
01:07:07,491 --> 01:07:11,895
Would it be difficult
to drop Mr. Patterson and
the corporal by parachute?

1130
01:07:11,961 --> 01:07:14,831
If you ask me,
it'd be flaming
impossible.

1131
01:07:14,898 --> 01:07:19,069
I'd as soon go in
with a brass band and
a neon light on my hat.

1132
01:07:19,136 --> 01:07:21,571
Besides, I don't
like aeroplanes.

1133
01:07:21,638 --> 01:07:23,840
(MUFFLED EXPLOSIONS)

1134
01:07:23,907 --> 01:07:25,875
Or air raids, either.
Goodbye, all.

1135
01:07:25,942 --> 01:07:27,477
Stick around
a few minutes.

1136
01:07:27,544 --> 01:07:29,779
They'll be concentrating
on the airstrips.

1137
01:07:29,846 --> 01:07:32,015
Yeah, and they
might miss, too.

1138
01:07:35,419 --> 01:07:38,955
Don't you get
any wrong ideas about
Patterson, Lieutenant.

1139
01:07:39,022 --> 01:07:42,859
If it weren't for him and
the Australian coast watchers
who hid in the jungle

1140
01:07:42,926 --> 01:07:46,296
when the Japanese
occupied these islands,
we'd be in a bad way.

1141
01:07:46,363 --> 01:07:48,698
Both here and
in the Solomons.

1142
01:07:48,765 --> 01:07:51,335
Patterson and that
native corporal of his

1143
01:07:51,401 --> 01:07:54,471
have spent
the last six months
right here in the hills

1144
01:07:54,538 --> 01:07:57,107
constantly in danger
from Japanese patrols

1145
01:07:57,174 --> 01:08:00,177
and just as constantly
sending us our
vital information.

1146
01:08:00,244 --> 01:08:01,345
So don't...

1147
01:08:01,411 --> 01:08:03,213
(PLANES ROARING PAST)

1148
01:08:06,883 --> 01:08:10,720
Now, they're entitled
to sit this one out, son.

1149
01:08:10,787 --> 01:08:13,890
RADIO OPERATOR:
One baker. 0-5-0.

1150
01:08:13,957 --> 01:08:16,326
One baker should
be overhead
in two minutes.

1151
01:08:16,393 --> 01:08:17,461
OFFICER: Very well.

1152
01:08:19,028 --> 01:08:22,999
You have air cover
as far as
the Trobriands here.

1153
01:08:23,066 --> 01:08:25,835
Across the Solomon Sea,
you'll just have to pray

1154
01:08:25,902 --> 01:08:29,139
that the enemy thinks
you're a native
trading vessel.

1155
01:08:29,206 --> 01:08:31,074
(EXPLOSION)

1156
01:08:32,976 --> 01:08:36,980
That'll be two,
maybe three days.
Right, Crandall?

1157
01:08:37,046 --> 01:08:40,984
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
This is the first time
my crew's been under fire.

1158
01:08:41,050 --> 01:08:43,387
I'm afraid
it won't be the last.

1159
01:08:43,453 --> 01:08:47,524
No, sir. (CLEARING THROAT)
Let me see,
three days, you say?

1160
01:08:47,591 --> 01:08:51,928
If you took off from here
at dusk, and you were sharp
on celestial navigation,

1161
01:08:51,995 --> 01:08:54,231
it could be
two nights and a day.

1162
01:08:54,298 --> 01:08:56,800
Foster is a qualified
navigator.

1163
01:08:57,767 --> 01:08:59,603
Thank you, sir.

1164
01:08:59,669 --> 01:09:04,341
You have a few days
to acquaint him with
the ship's peculiarities.

1165
01:09:04,408 --> 01:09:06,109
That won't be
necessary.
Thank you.

1166
01:09:06,176 --> 01:09:07,977
Mmm-hmm.

1167
01:09:08,044 --> 01:09:10,914
If this weather front does
move down, you'll have to
do some dead reckoning.

1168
01:09:10,980 --> 01:09:13,650
Why don't you let me
worry about that?

1169
01:09:13,717 --> 01:09:16,953
(EXPLOSION)

1170
01:09:17,020 --> 01:09:19,589
Pardon me,
but they're swinging in
over the harbor.

1171
01:09:19,656 --> 01:09:22,692
Everybody but
the duty section should
be in the slit trenches.

1172
01:09:22,759 --> 01:09:24,594
What?
Your own orders, sir.

1173
01:09:25,329 --> 01:09:26,496
Oh.

1174
01:09:34,338 --> 01:09:36,139
(EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE)

1175
01:09:41,511 --> 01:09:43,547
Welcome to the club.

1176
01:09:43,613 --> 01:09:44,948
Where's he going?

1177
01:09:45,014 --> 01:09:47,150
To be with his ship,
I imagine.

1178
01:09:47,217 --> 01:09:49,319
Quite a bloke,
that Crandall.

1179
01:09:53,890 --> 01:09:55,024
Duck!

1180
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:16,045
(YELLING)

1181
01:10:28,958 --> 01:10:30,294
(ALL YELLING)

1182
01:10:46,943 --> 01:10:49,045
The port captain's
here, skipper.

1183
01:11:00,890 --> 01:11:02,759
Kind of soggy out,
isn't it, Crandall?

1184
01:11:02,826 --> 01:11:04,461
Yes, sir.

1185
01:11:04,528 --> 01:11:06,630
We could run up
the coast
for a few miles.

1186
01:11:06,696 --> 01:11:08,665
I can show the lieutenant
how the ship handles.

1187
01:11:08,732 --> 01:11:10,700
That won't be
possible now.

1188
01:11:10,767 --> 01:11:13,903
The size of that air
raid shows the Japanese
are building up to something.

1189
01:11:13,970 --> 01:11:16,340
Air force wants
Echo underway
as soon as possible.

1190
01:11:16,406 --> 01:11:18,274
I see, sir.

1191
01:11:18,342 --> 01:11:20,043
Get underway
as soon as you've
accomplished the transfer.

1192
01:11:20,109 --> 01:11:21,244
Aye, sir.

1193
01:11:21,311 --> 01:11:23,212
Bring your papers
to my office.

1194
01:11:23,279 --> 01:11:26,215
We'll see about
arranging air transport
for you to Australia.

1195
01:11:26,282 --> 01:11:27,551
Yes, sir.

1196
01:11:29,319 --> 01:11:31,120
After you, Captain.

1197
01:11:51,975 --> 01:11:53,176
(KNOCK AT DOOR)

1198
01:11:53,242 --> 01:11:56,079
McCLUNG: Yes,
come in, Crandall.

1199
01:11:56,145 --> 01:11:58,715
What're you doing here?
Why aren't you underway?

1200
01:11:58,782 --> 01:12:00,750
I request you to order
Lieutenant Crandall

1201
01:12:00,817 --> 01:12:03,152
to turn over
the Echo to me
without further delay.

1202
01:12:03,219 --> 01:12:06,523
He's got me signing
for equipment I can't
even find. He's...

1203
01:12:07,824 --> 01:12:10,827
Sir, he's getting
underway.

1204
01:12:11,561 --> 01:12:13,430
He is?

1205
01:12:13,497 --> 01:12:16,666
Oh, no. He wouldn't
do a thing like that.

1206
01:12:16,733 --> 01:12:18,368
Sir, he must be.

1207
01:12:19,168 --> 01:12:21,705
No, really?

1208
01:12:21,771 --> 01:12:23,640
(ECHO CHUGGING)

1209
01:12:23,707 --> 01:12:26,342
He's taking it out
himself, sir. See?

1210
01:12:28,077 --> 01:12:30,447
Yes, he is, isn't he?

1211
01:12:30,514 --> 01:12:32,916
My ship in that
minefield again.

1212
01:12:32,982 --> 01:12:36,319
He knows where
those mines are now.

1213
01:12:36,386 --> 01:12:39,255
Aren't you going to
order him back, sir?

1214
01:12:39,322 --> 01:12:42,258
The Air Force would
demand an explanation

1215
01:12:42,992 --> 01:12:44,428
for the delay, and...

1216
01:12:44,494 --> 01:12:47,096
Sir, this is
a court-martial offense.

1217
01:12:47,864 --> 01:12:49,332
What, Lieutenant?

1218
01:12:49,399 --> 01:12:51,034
I said this is
a court-martial
offense, sir.

1219
01:12:51,100 --> 01:12:53,970
Yes, I guess
you're right.

1220
01:12:54,037 --> 01:12:58,207
Still, he was assigned to me
for an indefinite period.

1221
01:12:58,274 --> 01:13:00,510
For as long
as I needed him.

1222
01:13:01,611 --> 01:13:05,515
I'll tell you what
I'll do, Lieutenant.

1223
01:13:05,582 --> 01:13:08,418
If he ever comes back
from that mission

1224
01:13:09,419 --> 01:13:11,721
I'll consider
a court-martial.

1225
01:13:14,424 --> 01:13:15,759
Yes, sir.

1226
01:13:30,774 --> 01:13:32,909
This channel of yours
is less than 100 feet wide.

1227
01:13:32,976 --> 01:13:34,478
Is that the only break
in the reef?

1228
01:13:34,544 --> 01:13:37,981
The only one I know of,
and I've covered
over 100 miles of it.

1229
01:13:38,748 --> 01:13:39,816
LOOKOUT: On deck!

1230
01:13:39,883 --> 01:13:41,551
What is it?

1231
01:13:41,618 --> 01:13:43,987
Another enemy aircraft
on the starboard quarter

1232
01:13:44,053 --> 01:13:45,755
closing in on us, sir.

1233
01:13:59,168 --> 01:14:02,071

You'd better get below, sir.

1234
01:14:02,138 --> 01:14:05,274
Same orders stands!
Don't fire
unless they fire first!

1235
01:14:13,149 --> 01:14:14,484
Hold fire.

Drop dead,
you creeps.

of gaskets!

1238
01:14:33,937 --> 01:14:35,004
Yeah.

1239
01:14:46,215 --> 01:14:48,552
Looks okay, sir.
They're waving back.

1242
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:16,980
I hope that's the last
of them. This thing's
starting to itch.

1243
01:15:17,046 --> 01:15:19,849
It is. With that
weather front coming,
be lucky to make home.

1244
01:15:19,916 --> 01:15:21,618
Flaming shame
if we didn't.

1245
01:15:21,685 --> 01:15:24,353
Run forward and
tell cook to barbecue
poultry for dinner.

1246
01:15:24,420 --> 01:15:26,890
We need a decent meal
for tonight's work.

1247
01:15:28,391 --> 01:15:30,259
We'll hit that front
in one hour.

1248
01:15:30,326 --> 01:15:33,462
By midnight, it'll be
darker than 3-4 feet
down a cow's throat.

1249
01:15:33,529 --> 01:15:34,664
How will
we see the reef?

1250
01:15:34,731 --> 01:15:36,132
Nothing to it.

1251
01:15:36,199 --> 01:15:38,635
You can hear
the surf pounding
on the reef for miles.

1252
01:15:38,702 --> 01:15:41,537
Fine. How do we know
how much water's
under us?

1253
01:15:41,605 --> 01:15:44,273
That depends on the size
of the waves, don't it?

1254
01:15:44,340 --> 01:15:47,677
Don't worry,
I can take you through there
with my head in a bag.

1255
01:15:47,744 --> 01:15:49,679
Yeah, you may have to.

1256
01:15:52,415 --> 01:15:53,783
Yeah?

1257
01:15:53,850 --> 01:15:56,552
Thanks for trying
anyhow, Major.

1258
01:15:56,620 --> 01:15:58,554
Yeah, I'll be seeing
you sometime soon.

1259
01:16:00,890 --> 01:16:02,626
No, sir.

01:16:02,692 --> 01:16:04,861
He checked every squadron
that had a plane
in the area today.

1261
01:16:04,928 --> 01:16:07,463
That's absolutely
the last time
she was seen by anybody.

1262
01:16:07,530 --> 01:16:09,565
But that was at
dawn this morning.

1263
01:16:09,633 --> 01:16:12,468
By late afternoon,
they should've been
somewhere up here.

1264
01:16:12,535 --> 01:16:15,138
What about that
observation flight
sent from there?

1265
01:16:15,204 --> 01:16:16,806
Canceled due
to the weather.

1266
01:16:16,873 --> 01:16:19,876
You can bet the Japs
didn't cancel that convoy.

1267
01:16:19,943 --> 01:16:23,713
If we'd just gotten
that ship underway
one day sooner.

away all sails.

1269

I want full power
going over that reef.

Tommy, take the deck.

1271
01:17:43,026 --> 01:17:44,828
Where did you say
this inlet was?

01:17:44,894 --> 01:17:46,595
PATTERSON:
Straight ahead.
Through those trees.

1273
01:17:46,662 --> 01:17:47,864
CRANDALL: Right.

1274
01:17:50,533 --> 01:17:52,101
At least the Air Force
has been up here.

1275
01:17:52,168 --> 01:17:54,070
They sure worked
that one over.

1276
01:17:54,137 --> 01:17:55,739
I guess so, sir.

1278
01:18:27,103 --> 01:18:28,404

right out of his dukes.

Don't.

like about
200,000 of them.

on them.

Take off.

1286
01:19:00,937 --> 01:19:04,473
I'm gonna be here
a long time. I like my
comfort now and then.

1287
01:19:04,540 --> 01:19:07,977
You've enough for a hotel.
How far do the men
have to lug this stuff?

1288
01:19:08,044 --> 01:19:10,313
The other side of that
little hill up there.

1289
01:19:10,379 --> 01:19:12,916
I'll hide this stuff there
till I'm ready to move on.

1290
01:19:12,982 --> 01:19:15,018
It'll take them hours
to get up there.

What am I to do?
Wait here like
a sitting duck?

1292

Who's gonna know?
You're tucked in here
real nice and cozy.

1293
01:19:20,656 --> 01:19:23,192

never spotted you,
did they?

Where are you going?

1295
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:26,229
You have to stay
on the ship, sir.

01:19:26,295 --> 01:19:27,797
There has to be
an officer
with the patrol.

Why don't you
let the kid go?

1298
01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:33,369

to stretch his legs and
look at the countryside.

to Captain McClung.

know I'm here.

01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,276
Looks like UCLA
blew another one.

1504
01:36:56,644 --> 01:36:59,081
NARRATOR:
On this same morning
of March 3rd,

1505
01:36:59,147 --> 01:37:00,949
projecting the course
of the enemy convoy

1506
01:37:01,016 --> 01:37:03,218
from the slim
information received,

1507
01:37:03,285 --> 01:37:04,619
the Allied forces
in New Guinea

1508
01:37:04,686 --> 01:37:06,955
put every available aircraft
in the air,

1509
01:37:07,022 --> 01:37:09,858
met the Japanese ships
and their air cover
in the straits

1510
01:37:09,925 --> 01:37:11,593
between New Guinea
and New Britain,

1511
01:37:11,659 --> 01:37:15,263
and in a two-day
running battle, wreaked
total destruction on it.

1512
01:37:18,733 --> 01:37:21,069
(GUNFIRE)

1513
01:37:28,043 --> 01:37:29,477
(EXPLOSIONS)

1514
01:37:40,956 --> 01:37:43,992
Of this little-known,
yet highly decisive battle,

1515
01:37:44,059 --> 01:37:46,294
General Douglas
MacArthur said,

1516
01:37:46,361 --> 01:37:49,831
"The battle of
the Bismarck Sea won a victory
of such completeness

1517
01:37:49,898 --> 01:37:53,235
"as to assume the proportions
of a major disaster
to the enemy."

1518
01:37:55,503 --> 01:37:58,640
And so it is recorded
in the history
of World War II.

1519
01:38:00,542 --> 01:38:02,810
Of considerably
less importance,

1520
01:38:02,877 --> 01:38:05,147
yet of vital interest
to us,

1521
01:38:05,213 --> 01:38:07,682
is the fact that
six months later,

1522
01:38:07,749 --> 01:38:11,786
in what was now
just a quiet backwater
in the rear area,

1523
01:38:11,853 --> 01:38:17,292
a newly promoted
Lieutenant J.G. pulled
alongside his first command

1524
01:38:17,359 --> 01:38:19,061
and prepared
to take over.

1525
01:38:19,127 --> 01:38:20,628
(BLOWING WHISTLE)

1526
01:38:24,099 --> 01:38:26,834
Belay that racket.
You want the whole area
to hear us?

1527
01:38:26,901 --> 01:38:29,637
As a matter of fact,
sir, yes.

1528
01:38:29,704 --> 01:38:31,573
Stations for
getting underway.

1529
01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:33,175
Weigh her to side!

1530
01:38:59,034 --> 01:39:03,171
What did you say
about going ashore
and speaking to the admiral?

1531
01:39:03,238 --> 01:39:05,840
You weren't interested
in anymore
special missions.

1532
01:39:05,907 --> 01:39:08,176
I can let the man talk,
can't I?
