one of our men

commander joshua rice september 11

1943 august 14 1945

august 14 1945 easy date to remember

the day of the big news the end of the

japanese war the last day of josh rice's

command

and the day before the 13th that was my

big day

the beginning of my own personal war

funny how things can start with nothing

and then pile up so fast it's hard to

remember them in any kind of order

a thousand times i've turned and twisted

them

looking for an answer that never comes

that afternoon that 13th of august

afternoon the enemy had just about given

up at sea and all we'd seen for days was

empty ocean

stretching out slate gray calm and

deserted

and giving no hint that the first piece

of my private jigsaw puzzle

was about to drop into place

look outside the bridge the guys here

secure the low pressure blowers

permission comes rich grab it

the war is practically over in a couple

of months we'll be sitting in some

upholstered sewer

drinking that dirty old whiskey watching

those dames wiggle by

tell me something moist sure you ever

think about anything but danes

no

morris's question kept bouncing around

in my head

no action at all he'd laughed it off

he could it was a fine joke and i'd

appreciated it

but i wondered if it had spread to the

crew and how funny they thought it was

here in the darkness i wondered

[Music]

wow i guess i'll have to let my belt out

again you're sure we're not running

you're short oh no we have plenty for

everybody

would if you've been eating on okinawa

we circled and criss-crossed the patch

of ocean where josh and the

quartermaster had been left

but it was no good they were gone

without a trace

the day we finally rounded point loma

and headed into san diego bay

the war had been over almost four months

even with 20 flags painted on our

conning tower

the tiger shark didn't attract much

attention

i was glad the one day warrior who had

lost captain and quartermaster in his

first action

but the crew didn't mind they had their

faces set for peace

they couldn't wait to see their families

and girlfriends

and boyer he couldn't wait to get rid of

a commanding officer he thought it

failed his ship

i'm still very beautiful

say i thought you were in san francisco

she was

having the time of her life with me we

heard the tiger shark

i was dying to see you so we came down

how'd you happen to get mixed up with

this character he came in a couple of

months

amazing coincidence i had town checked

all the phone books called all the

advertising agencies caught a cab three

street cars

walked six blocks and just happened to

bump into her

what are we waiting for come on we're

gonna have a big party at the blue room

get the rest of the gang grab a table

felt the grape i'm afraid i'll have to

join you later i've got to see someone

in coronado

or rather his widow i'll see you later

[Music]

hello alice come in

as soon as you telephoned i broke out

the rum

only proper welcome for the sailor home

from the sea

how does it feel i don't know yet

you seen carol yes she was at the dock

oh my goodness what in the world are you

doing here if she's in town

well for one thing

we wanted you to have this from the

tiger shark

your commissioning plaque that's very

thoughtful of you

it's very thoughtful but

shouldn't they stay on the tiger shark

if you're going into mothballs next

month

well i'm very grateful ken but just the

same i'd rather have it on board

where it belongs

i haven't hurt your feelings no

you'll explain to the others sure

there was another thing i wanted to tell

you what happened between josh and me

nothing happened but you haven't heard

i have all about did you hear i could

have stopped the dive i heard that you

might have lost the tiger shark if you

did

everyone on board would have been glad

to take the chance everyone but me

can sit down

maybe it's the good thing you did come

after all your first night of show

you see i not only know what happened

i know what you've been going through

evening alice ken this is josh's father

lieutenant commander white admiral rice

glad to see you right heard a lot about

you thank you sir now let's give you a

drink

yes sir good you're lucky i have to pour

my own

ken and i've been talking about josh he

thinks that maybe people are blaming him

for what happened

nonsense i wish i could say the same sir

why can't you naturally everybody wanted

to go up for josh and perkins

but it was your job to stop them

sometimes it's

it's harder to do the right thing than

it is the

courageous thing sir were you afraid

no sir i don't think so neither do i you

did the right thing

and the courageous thing if you'd been

up there instead of josh he would have

done exactly what you did

he would have thought of the ship first

isn't that so yes sir i suppose it is

well then why think about it the war is

over ken forget the tiger shark

go find carol and make her glad you're

home

be glad yourself i might do that

promise that's an order white

bye sir

good night good night

what are you doing you didn't think i

was gonna let you keep that 385 did you

high card deals

[Music]

[Applause]

the last time i got this happy mama had

to sell a kimono to bail me out

one of the doctors think about all that

dirty old whiskey

well it's my back that hurts not my

elbow elbows fine

i don't think he's hurt at all neither

do i those doctors in the hospital just

don't want to let him go

exactly the navy wants to keep this

magnificent personality of mine from the

rest of the world

uh you don't mind if we dance ah

permission granted

[Music]

i missed you ken you did that on my

blood city now

that's how i'm serious let's go

someplace and talk about it

[Music]

i've got a present for you it's a tooth

from a female

aardvark an african love child did you

know that the average eibach has 63

children

and that's just the average my mind

where'd you get it

oh i picked it up one of those little

practical joke shots where you buy

rubber daggers and things

the man said that in africa

when a girl wants to marry a man

she puts it in his pocket

it's pure magic what if he refuses

oh he's eaten by a crocodile a week or

so later

real cast iron guarantee huh i hope so

ken

quit my job gave away my apartment

bought a mess of luggage what does that

mean

i don't want a crocodile to get you

[Music]

in answer to your proposal we'll give it

a try for about 30 40 years

love you so much

[Applause]

i don't care what the man said honey the

navy is not a department of the marine

corps that's what the officer said

and people who wear dolphins are not

swimming instructors

you may congratulate us he's just won my

hands congratulations well

suit yourself but i have to be truthful

you've just blown your chances for a

very poetic life

go on she's not your kind of woman oh i

don't

oh yeah yeah you're probably right yeah

what i need is a rich old woman a rich

old woman with

palsy who keeps dropping diamonds on the

rocks

glasses up come on honey

here's to clear sailing for the nicest

people i've ever known

and here's to us come on drink drink

is to us may we all be allowed something

a lot of fun and little time to regret

it

[Music]

i couldn't find much to regret in the

years that followed

the war faded away into the past and i

kept busy in the present

two years at new london two more at

mayor island under admiral rice

and most of it could have been anywhere

at all because carol was with me

pete morris was around he split his time

pretty evenly between us

and a couple of well-trained redheads so

things were pretty good

i had a job in the maintenance

department a cross between a store

keeper

a janitor and a complaint adjuster good

morning

good morning sir good morning jack

quarterly material report

monthly inspection and requisitions for

paints and brooms nine copies each

do i have to sign all copies just eight

you initial our file copy

that's a break captain cornwell's wife

called about the incinerator

again she found soot on the dining room

rug this time

and commander robert says there are

orange peels on pair two tell a

commander

white speaker yesterday right away

probably found an apple car under his

desk

commander white to see you sir

good morning ken morning admiral sit

down

are you ready no thank you sir nothing's

going

all right as far as i know like you john

no sir i can't say i blame you i think

you've been having trouble with

cornwall's wife

well sir uh it seems that she doesn't

like the way we're burning the trash

old hatchet faces run the navy given

half a chance at least you didn't blow

up the incinerator like i did at norfolk

no sir i wouldn't advise it i got a

chore for you

a reporter from new york named gavin is

doing the story on the mothball navy

i want you to show them the submarines

what time will that be sir

you'll beat your office at 11 is that

also

yes

how many of you got here 64.

6 million bucks a piece that's close to

400 million dollars

why don't you junk them instead of just

letting them sit here and that way the

taxpayers get something back for their

money

what if we should need them again that's

my guess the next world we bought with

push buttons

we'd better make sure we've got the

buttons first maybe you're right

how long would it take to exhume one of

these if you wanted to in an emergency

about two weeks

by that time it'd be all over except the

peace treaty

hey gavin here's a good one seen a lot

of action

20 [ __ ] flags on the conning tower is it

okay to get a shot of it

yes go ahead 20 flags that means she

staying 20 ships what's her name

tiger shark thank you sure i read

something about her

you could have she's the one lost her

captain today the war ended right

that's right the officer who had to take

it down must have felt like a heel

i bet he had a lot of sleepless nights

after that happen to know who he was

yes who me

excuse me

[Music]

he called it right that officer must

have felt like a heel

was back if it had ever really gone away

i was still the one day warrior who had

lost captain and quartermaster in his

only enemy action

but i've been

[Music]

who was it oh that was pete morris he's

coming over for dinner

doesn't he have any other place to go my

darling

oh i know poor pete two years in the

hospital three operations grounded

and a very tough duty of teaching naval

rotc

all right i'll call him back tell him

i've got jaundice

just what have you got nothing

something happened today didn't it what

makes you think that

i can tell i'm fed up

with what with lots of things the

monotony the routine being a clerk and a

janitor and a glorified errand boy all

rolled up into one

ken why don't you change your job oh

sure just call the chief of naval

operations tell him i want to command

the atlantic fleet

well it just so happens i can't change

jobs and you know that i'm in the navy

remember i could hardly forget it

you can't forget that you gave up a 300

a week job to marry me can you

i better set the table

carol hadn't deserved that not any of it

i wanted to apologize but i didn't know

how

so like every husband in the world i

hope that a gift and a party at the club

might substitute for the words i

couldn't find

more signatures and two other items a

new chief outside reporting for duty

and a call from parsons over threes

their fleet he wants to know if we have

any qualified submarine men

why they just got orders to put the

tiger shark back in commission they're

short-handed

tiger shot how are they having to pick

her

i don't know well we haven't anyone

should i call parsons no i'll take care

of it

is this the uh garbage disposal of the

united states navy

hi

wow you strike oil

oh sure gold risk watches parties how do

you do it

because i'm an honest working man not a

playboy at the university like you

yeah i guess you're right teaching naval

rotcs are led by

cinch no courses to give outside of

navigation

gunnery engineering naval history naval

customs and traditions communication

ship handling two or three afternoons a

week drilling one night a week with a

naval reserve unit two nights preparing

examination papers and three nights

correcting them

and eight nights and sundays trying to

keep ahead of my students most of whom

are not sure they want to be in the navy

in the first place

yeah and in my spare time going to

parties like yours

i gotta change you ready i got some

calls to make i want to see it

now sir

chief torpedo and boy are reporting for

duties

oh boy this is a surprise

where'd you drop in from san diego

you remember commander morris oh very

well how are you boy how's the navy been

treating you

good all right i thought you'd be

retired by now

i'll see on that schooner of yours

you still thinking about it

sir i request to transfer to another

department

why you should be the last person in the

world to ask that

all right boyer report with reserve

fleet

they've got just the job for you

hey don't be too long

well the only trouble with rotc is that

there are no girls to maneuver i mean

teachers you barely touched your dinner

i wasn't very hungry

i think the orchestra is better this

year don't you and a bunch of plumbers

there was a good band at new london yeah

no longer

oh that's the place just a couple hours

out of new york you can run in for a few

show girls

if you prefer this big league baseball

was the season started yeah

i guess brooklyn will win they did last

year the yankees beat their brains out

well i mean uh well before that they

they won their division

it's a league not a division oh what's

the difference who cares

well if he doesn't know when the season

starts how's he know brooklyn's gonna

win

oh just what i read in the papers when

last world series

that's typical once you guys pay no

attention to baseball all year long

suddenly the world series comes along

they read a couple of articles and for a

week they're experts you didn't say he

was an expert he just likes brooklyn

and that's another thing all this

brooklyn stuff did anybody care for

everybody loves brooklyn but does

anybody know why you're in a bad mood

knock it off i'm in a good enough mood

business

having boyer in charge of the work crews

kenzina psychiatrist

anybody who sees a psychiatrist ought to

have their head examined

joke no joke i know it sounds silly

i even thought about ken quitting the

navy

[Music]

what was so silly about that then it is

the navy you do know something

all i know is your marriage is headed

for the rocks now it isn't in the home

so it must be the job

quit digging around for details get rid

of the job you honestly think that would

be a solution i think it's the only

solution

but petey loves the navy and to quit a

job any job why

it makes him look like a failure

nonsense ken wouldn't be a failure on

anything he ever tried to do

tell him to get busy tell him to go down

and look for a job or better yet you had

to contact you promote something

now look you'll do fine first of all

secondly you'll iron out this beef

between you

third you'll both be better off and live

happily ever after

that'll be 25 hours please

[Music]

i think i'll have a drink after all good

fred

hey fred you know now that you're

happily married again

i'm getting very interested in you

any more coffee dying yeah i'll get it

anything interesting yeah a chance to

become a captain of industry matthew's

electric company

wow dear commander white we are need of

a mad experience and maintenance and

personnel work that's me

suggested to us by admiral joshua rice

nice um

answer with conflict will be more than

satisfactory do you sign a e matthew's

president

sounds terrific especially the part

about the arrangements

i wonder why rice picked me why wouldn't

you have the background for it

yeah yeah how do you feel about portland

i hear it's wonderful means buying

umbrellas long underwear and finding a

good thick roof

they have lots of nice houses near the

plant

where'd you hear that

oh i think i read it somewhere

what was the name of that businessman

you had lunch with a couple of months

ago

he used to write copy about his

refrigerators

a matthews if i remember correctly

what kind of a fool do you think i am

and how long do you think i'd stay a

fool

or maybe you thought i might go for it

playing puppet while you jiggle the

strings

what does matthews get out of this

you're gonna write his advertising copy

for free i only said after everyone what

about the admiral you're gonna do his

advertising or did you cry on his

shoulder about the hardships of navy

life i simply asked his advice and he

agreed with pete that it was

death well who'd you miss what about the

mailman what'd he think

did you write the newspaper did you

write your congressman all right ken all

right

i'm sorry about the job and i know now

that i was wrong going about it this way

but i honestly thought it was a solution

for what for

us oh ken you're at war with your job

and with yourself and with me

and something has to give do you want it

to be our marriage

you know i don't then you've got to make

a change

meaning portland meaning any kind of a

job get a farm take a painting anything

only can get us out of our trouble

you think leaving the navy will do that

i do

yeah i suppose you're right

otherwise the admiral wouldn't have

backed you

[Music]

where are you going to the office

resign from the navy

[Music]

there it is beginning the middle and the

end

spelled out in a letter on the admiral's

desk

subject resignation from the united

states navy

the end except for that last look at the

tiger shark

and that's the way it happened right up

to now all of it

but where's the answer with all that

thinking about it

goodbye to the old hulk

you

it's a funny thing i seem to have left

my western union card in my other suit

gentlemen the admiral is waiting

by christmas day we hope to complete the

evacuation of the hong kong beachhead

so far everything has gone smoothly but

here

about 30 miles from the coast is a

prison camp in it with perhaps 200 other

americans

are colonel garson walsh and his special

intelligence team

the colonel and his men are believed to

possess information that will be

immensely valuable to us in the future

what kind of information admiral i don't

know the details but it must be pretty

hot

the orders are to get these men out

paratroopers flying in from tokyo will

effect the actual rescue

while british and commonwealth

destroyers conduct diversionary raids

further up the coast

now about our part in the operation a

study of reconnaissance photographs by

commander morris indicates that the only

possible route for the paratroop planes

is directly over koyosan but there are

two big obstacles

here the point in the como the enemy has

an

air search radar station and here at

koyo-san itself

is his telephone center both of these

installations will have to be knocked

out before our planes approach

that's where you come in commander you

will land parties at the two points

tonight

receive from them signals of the success

of their mission and then radio me the

all dwell

you will be given all further details by

commander morris

commander marsh he's going with you

actually the whole deal hinges on us

unless the reds are completely surprised

domestic of the prisoners

and to surprise them we have to cut

their communications that's our job

major kim of the south korean army

lieutenant barton and myself we're

responsible for the radar station

they'll be put off in a rubber boat here

at point nacomo

they'll go ashore and lay low for

approximately an hour

meanwhile the tiger shark will proceed

down the coast to the entrance of the

harbor here

that's where you two frogmen could be

slipped over the side

it's gonna be a long swim harbor's mine

we can't go in

yes sir at exactly zero four thirty both

parties will proceed to destroy their

objectives

as soon as you've done this send me your

signals i'll inform the carrier

any question after we decided point the

como bearing 295.

minutes to swim in from the breakwater

station's been destroyed the whole

operation's cooked

that's all chief engineer requests

permission to secure the starboard main

motor what's the trouble bearing's

at least a half hour

arnie make all the speed you can on the

port propeller pull an overload if you

have to
