1
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:59,029
so
2
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,719
the first time i saw her was at the
3
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,960
naval air station in alameda california
4
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,880
on a morning in february 1945.
5
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,159
you'd have never known to look at her
6
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,000
that she was a battle-scarred veteran
7
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,840
who had fought bravely in the philippine
8
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,040
sea and had practically been destroyed
9
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,479
when i thought of what this carrier had
10
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:17,600
been through
11
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,080
how she'd fought with flying colors
12
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,960
i was proud to be assigned to her
13
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,360
i'd heard a lot about her captain too
14
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360
i was very anxious to meet him maybe a
15
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,280
little nervous even because he was
16
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,680
supposed to be as tough as the ship
17
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,439
he was reputed to be one of the toughest
18
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,759
men in the navy to serve under
19
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,400
whether he was a fair man too or just
20
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,280
tough
21
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,960
time would tell
22
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,720

317
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,199
got a raw deal
318
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,639
they promoted a guy with half my
319
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,399
experience i've got more sense than a
320
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,800
lot of those dopes wearing chiefs hats
321
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360

322
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,560

00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,160
by your behavior you're proving they
325
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,079
were right
326
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:54,880
i got a sneaking idea they were wrong
327
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,160

328
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,320

sooner or later i get around to it
332
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,720
but right now all i'm trying to do is
333
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,320
straighten out a fellow who's headed the
334
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,560
wrong way
335
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,320
your hatred doesn't hurt anybody but
336
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,440

with her when she got them they gave her
379
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,560
to me after she was hit by a job suicide
380
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,880
plane and i brought her back for repairs
381
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,279
she's my first big command he forgot to
382
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:58,639
tell your father
383
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,240
the captain took an emotion in order to
384
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,000
take over command of this ship well that
385
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,839
demotion wasn't much of a sacrifice i
386
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:05,520
was a fighter pilot for years flew off
387
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,880
the old langley
388
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,549
i always wanted to command a carrier
389
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:11,760
i've done just about everything in this
390
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,799
navy
391
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,199
even swab decks
392
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:17,039
you see father i started as an enlisted
393
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,280
man on what they call a mustang
394
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,880
and the fact that i began at the bottom
395
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,039
has always been a kind of a challenge
396
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:24,799
yes i can understand that that's my wife
397
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:26,559
and daughter leslie
398
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:28,319

see it
401
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,799

402
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:35,669
does like me
403
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:38,880
i'd like to be a break for leslie
404
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,029
it is
405
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,640
we'll be the flagship of a task group
406
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720
dedicated to a difficult dangerous
407
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,000
mission
408
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,840
we've got a great crew but during the
409
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,440
session in drydock with so much leave
410
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,679
the usual thing happened they slack off
411
00:17:53,679 --> 00:17:54,960
the men have been getting a little out
412
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,320
of hand captain
413
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,880

416
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,120
[Music]
417
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:23,200
attention all hands
418
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,679
this is an order from the captain
419
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:27,520
a message has just been received which
420
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,679
orders our ship to sail tomorrow instead
421
00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:31,679
of the day after
422
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:34,240
for this reason he regrets to announce
423
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,160
that all leave and liberty must be
424
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,559
cancelled effective immediately
425
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:40,400
that is all ain't the skipper got no
426
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,320
place to go wait till my old lady hears
427
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,919
about this picks up a standard they
428
00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:46,000
ought to call this ship the alcatraz all
429
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,640

433
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:01,280

434
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,840
the ship while taking aboard aviation
435
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:10,870

1143
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:10,800
he don't know i'm here
1144
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,079
he saw her if he finds out
1145
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:16,319
it's him i came to talk about
1146
00:51:16,319 --> 00:51:18,079
he's in a jam
1147
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:19,920
what's on your mind
1148
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:20,880
well
1149
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,119
i've been turret gunner on pizza
1150
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:25,839
excuse me on mr kelly's plane ever since
1151
00:51:25,839 --> 00:51:28,400
the group started forming in santa rosa
1152
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,160
we get sort of close to our pilot but
1153
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,920
with him depending on us and we depended
1154
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,760
on him
1155
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,319
you see mr kelly's got a wife he's crazy
1156
00:51:36,319 --> 00:51:38,480
about now family's on the way and he's
1157
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,160
all upset
1158
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,760
i guess you'd be kind of upset if you
1159
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,710
were gonna have twins
1160
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,430
a little
1161
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,559
well
1162
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:49,920
he had to ditch a plane once in
1163
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,319
pensacola and he nearly got drowned
1164
00:51:52,319 --> 00:51:54,800
he ain't scared of it sir but a guy with
1165
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,400
his responsibilities wouldn't be blamed
1166
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,040
for being sort of careful
1167
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,599
he should have taken that wave off
1168
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:02,960
but i'll bet even you might have pulled
1169
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,400
a crazy stunt like that when you were a
1170
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,630
young pilot
1171
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,800
i might have
1172
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,240
i was kelly's concerned i can't tell you
1173
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,319
what my decision will be until i see the
1174
00:52:14,319 --> 00:52:17,190
findings of the trouble
1175
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,480
couldn't you pull foreign rank on the
1176
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,640
board captain
1177
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,150
you think the captain ought to do that
1178
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,359
well
1179
00:52:25,359 --> 00:52:28,390
maybe not
1180
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,280
honest i hate to keep plugging like this
1181
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,720
but couldn't you give me just a little
1182
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,400
hope
1183
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,839
well you know my decision will have to
1184
00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:37,440
be based on what i think is best for the
1185
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,559
ship
1186
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:40,400
but what you've told me about mr kelly
1187
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,720
will make my decision easier i hope i'll
1188
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,440
be able to restore him to flying duty
1189
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,880

00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,200

means to me

[Music]
1526
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,760
on the morning of march 24th by the
1527
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,040
grace of god
1528
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,210
we limp back into the fleet anchorage
1529
01:15:50,210 --> 01:15:51,679
[Music]
1530
01:15:51,679 --> 01:15:53,920
by all the rules of the game she should
1531
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,450
be at the bottom of the sea
1532
01:15:55,450 --> 01:16:01,750
[Music]
1533
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,159
here the job of cleaning up began
1534
01:16:04,159 --> 01:16:06,640
we had a crippled ship but after two
1535
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,560
tries the enemy had still not been able
1536
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:20,950
to make a ghost ship out of it
1537
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,719
what about the man who died here father
1538
01:16:22,719 --> 01:16:25,520
i wonder if they resent my being alive
1539
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,640
if they feel somehow i let them down
1540
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,470
i don't think so
1541
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:34,320
how can i plead my case to a jury of
1542
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,920
dead men there's no common language
1543
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,159
they know captain
1544
01:16:40,159 --> 01:16:44,470
they know
1545
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:45,840
i suppose when we get home they'll have
1546
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,390
a band to meet us
1547
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,320
no band will ever play loud enough for
1548
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,080
those poor kids that missed muster this
1549
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:59,430
morning
1550
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:01,679
we were not out of danger yet however
1551
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:03,199
we still had to take the ship back to
1552
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:06,800
the brooklyn navy yard 12 000 miles away
1553
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,520
the job seemed almost insurmountable
1554
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,760
we had only 700 men out of the original
1555
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,000
3 000 with whom to take the ship safely
1556
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:14,960
home
1557
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,800
and there was the possibility every inch
1558
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,280
of the way of attack by plane or by
1559
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,560
submarine
1560
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,239
men now had more than home on their
1561
01:17:22,239 --> 01:17:23,520
minds
1562
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,239
they had prayers on their lips
1563
01:17:26,239 --> 01:17:28,080
on the way to hawaii
1564
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,159
we held a memorial service for those who
1565
01:17:30,159 --> 01:17:31,679
had given their lives
1566
01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:33,120
our shipmates
1567
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,800
our friends
1568
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,360
after we had honored the dead
1569
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,600
we decorated some of the living
1570
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,560
jordan olsen's made first class
1571

he's having one already
1589
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,120
as we sighted pearl harbor
1590
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,920
one thought was uppermost in our wines
1591
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,360
six thousand more miles to go
1592
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,120
the possibility of enemy attack was
1593
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:52,320
still imminent
1594
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:56,229
we were kept on the alert day of night
1595
01:18:56,239 --> 01:18:59,120
home was only 1500 miles in a few days
1596
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,440
away as we steamed through the panama
1597
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:03,360
canal
1598
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,360
every minute was bringing us closer and
1599
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,600
closer to our loved ones our country
1600
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,000
slowly our war-weary ship made its way
1601
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,040
up the atlantic coast to new york harbor
1602
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,750
the five days seemed endless
1603
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,600
the statue of liberty had never looked
1604
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,199
so young and beautiful as on that day
1605
01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:28,159
she stood for everything we'd fought for
1606
01:19:28,159 --> 01:19:30,480
everything we'd hoped for
1607
01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:31,920
and none of us would ever forget our
1608
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:33,120
captain
1609
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,960
whose courage had proved worthy of the
1610
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,080
ship and worthy of our trust
1611
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,239
what was left of our band would express
1612
01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:41,920
better than words
1613
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,860
what was in all our hearts
1614
01:19:44,860 --> 01:20:08,159
[Music]
1615
01:20:08,159 --> 01:20:15,770
