japanese

[Music]

[Music]

lee morning sir

don't tell me you've been sitting here

since reveille no sir

well not entirely sir all right

so you did the pre-flight checks then

twice sir why twice

there's been some mechanical problems

with the sbds this morning

i didn't want to be one of them that's

good thinking

i'd hate for us to get all dressed up

and have nowhere to go

looks like we're up sir you ready

i'm excited sir just uh a little nervous

that's totally healthy i'll never forget

how nervous i was the first time i did a

night takeoff

you serious you took off a carrier at

night

not exactly a night takeoff's where you

throttle up off the deck with your eyes

closed

really sir

hold on it's always the worst part

[Music]

[Music]

remember if anything happened don't

panic all right if we end up in the

drake on the takeoff there's a beautiful

destroyer there waiting to pick us up

hi sir

here we go

[Applause]

[Music]

you'll always remember your first time

absolutely sir

[Music]

be a hell of a lot better once we see

some jab carriers

falling into formation with vb6

[Music]

[Music]

does it always take this long no

that pompous ass browning probably

hasn't crawled out of bed yet to give us

the go-ahead

i don't it looks like more mechanicals

down there to me

probably but i like my version better

either way it's better we're up here

than down there

it's gonna be a shitty day to push

planes you're damn right sir

[Music]

i'm ready for some action as long as the

wildcats are doing their job you

probably won't see a whole lot

[Music]

sir i see it little mccluskey pulling

into formation

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what where are the wildcats and

devastators at

huh must be a no-frills operation

don't worry class knows what they're

doing the ball else fails that's what

those shiny guns are there for right

hi sir

they used to arm that's where has no one

power

[Music]

[Music]

sir whoa

reducing altitude

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

good news we can come off the o2

that's the stuff in his head thank god

how long are we up there

about an hour and change oh yeah an hour

and change in my face itching and my

head swimming

don't let one of the heavy bomber boys

hear you wanted about the o2 masks

they're going to keep them all in 12

hours yeah

better than us though maybe

those big sons of certainly stay

up a hell of a lot longer than we do

i'll tell you all that circling and

reduced altitude

sure didn't do us any favors in the fuel

department

that's what i like about you sir i

always seem to find the dark clouds

inside the

silver lining just keep your eyes peeled

for tabs and enjoy the flight

aye aye sir

hey vanderbilt sir yeah

i got it stupid question but it never

came out during gunnery training

it's about to play what's that

where's the head does it look like

there's a head in this plane

[Music]

i've

[Music]

or if you look down below your seat to

the left

found it be careful with this alpha turn

no a little kitty accidentally touching

anything little

you know what i think i'll just hold it

and the limits just dried me up

what's going on bess just turned his

ship

[Music]

i'm seeing why i see it

beth sees it too he's taking his head

lookout for zeroes

[Music]

[Music]

i don't know

[Music]

i all right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

you okay back there i seem to have

urinated sir stop bragging and guns up

we got more than talking doors don't

worry about zero

[Music]

context

[Music]

as we found out whether combat air

patrols were hanging around

three o'clock and they're really pissed

off

well we did just sink their carrier

hold on

[Music]

you okay back there

[Music]

nowhere to begin

[Music]

[Music]

god

you all better sleep lightly yeah hey

picking up some chatter did they get

another flat top

hold your damn horses i'm listening

let's chat it from some spds

they can't find their carrier and

they're all low on fuel

sounds like things weren't a little

pear-shaped and now they're gonna have

to ditch and see

which carrier and how far from it yeah

they didn't say

jabs could be listening i guess

well let's get in the air you got it

nuts

see if we can figure out where we think

the jab fleet was and where the carriers

are

best guess we'll see if we can't find

these guys aye sir

all right boys listen up lunch time's

over

mansfield report the midway station that

we're gonna continue our scouting

operations for jaff forces

nus i want you to plot a course in such

a way that we might be able to find one

of these guys

you got it mansfield i want you to keep

those years on all right i don't want

you to write down anything that you pick

up

names positions anything on it sir nus i

need a heading waypoint soonest

smokey let's go

do you miss me always open the cow flaps

on it everybody accounted for

contact

all right everybody heading out

[Music]

okay

uh

ah

get out of the place

[Music]

[Music]

me

you think we we got it sir

you think we hit the flat top

yeah there's no way i missed

no way even win win this

yeah yeah

we stuck it to the and i don't have to

clean up a piss-soaked gunnery

compartment

i'm sorry about the raft

it's okay

about a dozen planes so let's go down

we just float here and watch the show

and we'll get picked up by breakfast

breakfast huh what do you think that

they'll be having on a shingle

that's

that's my favorite what about you you're

gonna raise your standard skinny

i think it's sticking lobster

now you can last let me see that wound

yeah i don't know

all right let's get you patched up

all personnel incoming friendly aircraft

incoming aircraft starboard 301 on

approach

initial reports are very promising sir

we sung three carriers

hours and enough time to refuel re-arm

to send out a second sortie to finish

the job

we have men in the water yes we do sir

sailor you see that plane go down hi sir

redirect the phelps to collect that crew

i start redirecting the phelps

i've been very successful so far sir but

we can't let ourselves be distracted

with rescue missions

successful we launched 32 planes

all of six have returned and that is

unfortunate

but what an excellent ratio of return

for three carriers your time reporting

inbound enemy aircraft

battle stations battle stations this

complicates things a bit

i'm gonna go adjust the op plan

[Music]

that's what i'm telling you there isn't

any radio navigation beacon from

anywhere but the island

right okay so we use the island find

where we are and then where the enemy

fleet is

which we don't know because they filed

no navigational plans with us

we know where they were so that's where

we're going but we don't know where our

carriers are

how are we going to triangulate with

only two points of reference

is that we're just gonna have to go in a

search panel search pattern there's got

to be like 200 miles of water

every damn day

bags could you hop down here before i

put my 45 in my mouth please

you got it sir

why don't we just ask what a search

we're already outside our mission search

area

if we ask where to search they're just

going to tell us to search the mission

search area besides if the beacon's off

ain't gonna answer anyways

grace mansfield you shut up and make

some coffee listen to you making

everybody in this boat stupider

all right nice bomb where's the enemy

fleets last night

right here that there

if we sunk three carriers we're going to

see smoke when i see debris

we follow the party we head back to

midway in circles we won't see any jab

carriers but we might find a pilot

good idea i'm full be a dawson the

coffee up when it's done yeah

on deck starboard leave the wheel and

look out

the situation on new york town is still

developing they've taken at least two

torpedoes midships

enlisting to port buckmaster's

considering abandoning her

that'll be up to fletcher

what about our planes they took a

shellacking same as us

luck would have it fletcher sent the

remaining spd's out of the troll right

before the attack

well obviously there's a carrier or two

still lurking about

the scouts find the enemy mccluskey did

not have kind words to say about captain

browning

no i i don't expect he would

i want the planes on standby ready to go

scouting six and the rest of the bomber

remnants are being fit for action

earl gallagher is eager to get the fire

when the scouts find them

i want you to point the e into the wind

and get the planes in the sky

hi sir

[Music]

hey benny sir turn to starboard 30

degrees guys are spotting oil slicks and

debris

yeah i see him too all right boys keep

your eyes peeled

look for anybody happy to see us

lee wake up up

lee wake up buddy

i got two more minutes wake up buddy

come on

[Music]

i was having a dream i was in a bath

with the beautiful hawaiian girl

no kidding it was hot

with bubbles

you're in a piss more motion with me

let me get that patched up

no offense sir

but i prefer my dream

i liked your dream better too

well saw a few aircraft flying overhead

but

i think it's just a pby i don't know

new jobs out looking yeah we sucked

their carriers

they got bigger problems

now the jabs never know when they've

been licked though so

i'm gonna have to just sit here for a

while okay

aid kit went down with everything else

i gotta make do

it's fine until the salt hits it and

then

burns down to my fingers and toes all

right

i'm gonna tie it up real tight okay okay

all right

all right all right yeah

right down on this all right all right

this is gonna sting just a little oh all

i think i'll let us go home after this

i just want to go home

i just want to see my mom again

a little shore leaf could be good as now

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

if i top do you think yeah

i hope so

i got it

okay

[Music]

hey boys i think we got one english

mansfield man in the water floating on

his back

we just flew over boys and about

needles and haystack

one of ours hey it's hard to tell spread

the word

turn around bringing her down

[Music]

it's a little too rough to set down yeah

i'm thinking the same thing

but still over under yeah not good just

hope you don't hit those swells like a

sack of crap against a wall

i'm not particularly comfortable even

that guy behind me either pointing out

we might not be taking off for a while

once we pick him up

well they give you a chance to work on

your tan let the boys know

all right boys listen up water's looking

a little rough down there

i got some bad news too we got a bogey

back here coming right up our tail pipe

what is it i don't know it's flying slow

might be a dave

uh that's a biplane can you not tell

that's a biplane it's in and out of

clouds hold on

[Music]

it's a zero it's an arrow no spark where

we are

field

everybody else hang on whatever prayers

you're saying for a special occasion

now would be a good time to use jesus

he's gaining on us

how's that boat coming mansfield working

on it

that's not good all right boys

[Music]

bring it off

[Music]

skipper we took a few rounds in the

wings maybe a pontoon

we should check it out while we still

got sunlight set us down yeah

yeah i'll get some distance to put her

down thanks you okay

yeah got any clean drawers back there

good luck a champion machine gun in

honolulu ain't got dick to do with that

that zero had his debt to rights he

chose to go play somewhere else in real

hard

oh yeah we know but let's focus more

if you say so

what's that noise i don't know

maybe a strip alarm

sounds kind of funny on the water sound

travels real far

not sure i wish you would stop

sir norman

what call me norman

i'm thirsty me too

i guess we know what the ancient matter

felt like

it's a poem

about the sailor who shoots an albatross

this bird leads him out of the arctic

and

he shoots it with a crossbar

oh why do you do that

you know it's not particularly clear why

he doesn't the poem

the rest of the crew gets pissed at him

because they thought the bird brought

the wind with it

they tie this albatross around the neck

at the sailor

he wears this rotting bird around

hoping it'll bring back the wind with

this suffering but

it doesn't come

instead the crew starts dying one by one

until he's the sole survivor

i know it doesn't sound like a good

story but

it's a parable of sorts

in the end this poor bastard suffers and

suffers

he's suffering he's redeemed by god

and rescued

hang in there lee

you're gonna be okay

we both are

good morning captain browning last night

the submarine tambor reported the

location and bearing of several contacts

i can send word to commanders mccluskey

and gallagher to ready their pilots to

launch at first light

let them sleep midway has their scouts

in the air

and if that turns out to be a landing

force we will need to stay put

cover the island and if it is a fifth

carrier

we will engage once we get confirmation

i will not make the same mistake as

yesterday over extend

yes sir

oh good i remember my wake-up

i just need call service to bring me my

pancakes

orange juice lee lee please

huh don't go running off on me like that

lee

scared the crap out of me you know me

you got to be cheating you beat me four

times your odds are not in your favor

carol yeah good morning fellas

nuts the boys watered and fed aye sir

you ready for another day of being shot

at by zeroes nope hell nope

all right well boner appetit

okay this are you hey

nas midway just sent orders away hey

where to scout and report any and all

enemy surface ships we come in contact

with

relay positions we're already doing that

and now we're still doing it and we got

a search area to find

all right well uh tell the boys the way

anchor and uh

nus you just just keep on doing your

thing

okay here we go possible main body fleet

side it's 700 miles 92 degrees off

midway bearing 262 degrees

two carriers four light cruisers two

heavies six destroyers eight troop

transporters

what

oh god please no please

[Music]

it's a great shark

no manta ray

does it eat humans

not that i'm aware of

they're all over the waters off pearl

when you get back i'll take you

snorkeling

for comfort and i think i'm gonna swear

off all things

h2o after this you say that now

but no one likes a landlord

nobody is gonna call me

a land lover

not even you

sir

that's a lake bikini

it doesn't count

aren't you funny mississippi

huh river boy hell no

i'm hawaii so

yeah yeah

well aloha

that's the spirit

yeah where were we

obviously you don't understand let me

try and explain again

in simpler terms suicide mission

earl and i did the math the second we

got these orders

gentlemen clear the room

commander mccloskey is there a problem

they're objecting to the mission sir

apparently a heavily damaged carrier

with no ability to launch aircraft is

proving to be a former little foe

maybe so but i believe i was asking

commander mccloskey

he has us flying 240 miles to the target

with thousand-pound bombs the ordinance

is to assure destruction of the target

lugging a thousand pounder that far

you're sentencing those men to ditch in

the sea

we don't have enough gas to get home for

the specs of the dallas you'll have

enough fuel to complete the mission

sure if the carrier sits there quietly

and allows us to slowly fly up

drop our payload and slowly fly away

but what the hell are the chances of

that

commander mccluskey and the pilots know

the planes better than anyone

and i'm as euro is the next guy to sink

another carrier

but not at the expense of more men in

the water

rework the plan allow the planes to land

on the deck

not the ocean

hi sir

get your men ready for action thank you

yes sir

wow now

come here

i can't wait anymore

oh help me

i want to go

thank you

this finds its way

back home

me

[Music]

hey is anybody else seeing this yep

looks like a couple dozen sbds and some

wildcats

i guess they found these carriers they

were looking for looks like that's our

cue to go back to midway

it feels like normal low you got some

jay cans left with gas but

showers and real chow sound mighty good

right about now

yes sir let's come around and head home

hey look

these are going to fly right over us

these are going to see us hey

hey

they're so asleep they had to

i flew right over

oh good

no no no no

hey we're going home we're going home

you're going home

[Music]

please

[Music]

oh my god

[Music]

next tag up at 21 30. thank you petty

officer yes sir

admiral on the bridge lincoln

turn on the running lights belay that

and

we cannot turn on the running lights sir

these waters are thick with japanese

submarines we'll be broadcasting our

location to every eye for miles around

including our pilots who are not

experienced

or trained to land on a carrier in the

dark ensign

light the whole ship up yes sir

petty officer light the ship full deck

in the valve

summon the captain to the bridge yes sir

henry light the ship full deck and bow

yes everything

[Music]

there they are thank god

i hope you realize what you're doing i'm

giving our pilots a chance to land

rather than crash thank you for your

advice mr browning

you are dismissed

good night good night sir

[Music]

okay sailors keep your eyes open

we have planes struggling to get home

looks like the island took a few licks

at least the dock's still here

yeah pretty damn easy to find even

without a radio beacon

i think even some of the airfields on

fire yeah

the animal was a even before

the japs anyway

looks like we're all tied down you boys

need anything else for me

no i think we're good we're just gonna

see what the

skinny is on the situation go get

yourself some grub

i wouldn't want to miss smokey's story

how he took on the whole navy on his

own right

expect the full reenactment from you yes

sir

gentlemen boys skip

boys see you in the a.m

good evening chief we've been out want

to see anything big

not really just a little trouble with

the neighbors next door those little

guys the bad decision-making skills

yeah that's the ones so what the hell

happened here

uh the hair feels wrecked but could have

been a hell of a lot worse

the marines flew every fighter they

could get in the air and uh messed up

their formation up there uh chased them

off

they haven't been back since and the

more current events that's a mixed bag

of

good bad and fubar sounds about par for

the course

good news is the navy scratched four jab

flat tops

bad news is that yorktown got blown to

she's still afloat but that's about

it

in the fu bar carrier planes were

slaughtered

after they dropped their bombs

especially the ones from the enterprise

how bad well let's just say that uh

there's not enough pilots left on the

big e to field the baseball team

uh yeah we were in the thick of it

earlier and we saw plenty of sbds in the

air then

those were a hornet and yorktown birds

flying off enterprise

you okay sir uh yeah i'm uh

okay thanks for info chief

you're good thank you

got it covered here all right take it

easy

sailor make fastest lines

right there skipper um

i have a lot of friends on the

enterprise half of them were in my class

in pensacola

they're right yeah

tom schneider frank weber

bill ramsey norman vanderveer

vanderveer yeah well i know vanderbeer

you know i got into some uh

disagreements over darts and billiards

back in the good old days of pearl

yeah back in the good old days before

the japs bombed us

didn't know you two were in the same

class together did you guys become

friends

um well

it was a positively frigid florida

christmas afternoon

we'd just been given holiday shore leave

and like all good pilot cadets

we ended up at the closest bar to

celebrate the spirit of the season

time honor tradition oh yeah uh the

place was packed

there were aviators everywhere and as

happens in

such situations me and old norman well

we got to know each other the

old-fashioned way

bar fight no whiskey a little sugar some

bitters around the rim come on

you're a goddamn laugh right you know

that hey it's true it's true

yeah we hit it off we had plans to do

our time and then fly beautiful rich

women

around the globe and a seaplane

glow

of course he's going to scare the hell

out of the passengers if he brings his

dive bomber experience to the endeavor

so i'm thinking you make a better flight

engineer at this point yep which means

you can have the co-pilot seat if you

can still stand me after the war

what about pack we need a stewardess

oh christ

what's supposed to happen like this

everything going to in one day

those dauntless bombers are tough we've

seen them hit rough seas at 100 knots

and the pilot and gunners swim out

without a scratch

they've been out there for three days

and we're taking out showers we should

be out there looking for them right now

it's night i'm not gonna find him in the

dark

besides we need to provision up refuel

take a look at the bullet holes in her

wings no that's gonna happen tomorrow

morning

she doesn't feel right

look go get some chow and a stiff drink

i'll go report in

see if i can't pump the rms for some

intel maybe they don't know where some

of these guys went down

all right i'm serious i want to be in

the air the second one cleared

hurry i'll see what i can do on the

clearance side

you get everybody drone can convince

them to sleep on the boat

deal thanks cow

i mean it just skipper

get me all misty-eyed

[Music]

i always wanted to be a pilot

i wanted to see the whole world

so i joined the navy

when i went to hawaii i knew that i was

in paradise and i never wanted to leave

i was gonna do my time for uncle sam

[Music]

fly around beautiful women to exotic

places

this is not how it was supposed to be

still there are worse places to die

crystal clear ocean under the beautiful

stars

with a friend

see on the other side lee

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

horner reports completion of their

sortie having struck two heavy cruisers

with thousand-pound bombs

that's good launch two scouts to take

photographs of what remains of the

japanese fleet

nice sir george any thoughts

we are running low on fuel and we'll

need to slow to allow the oilers to

catch us

when does wake become a threat at our

current course

we could potentially be in range of

their land-based aircraft by sometimes i

don't feel the need to risk any more

lives or planes to sink two heavily

damaged japanese ships

i concur remain on course at speed

until we collect our plans and then

break opportunity hi sir

sir perhaps

hi sir

yeah so apparently the jabs hit a hangar

took out a few planes on the ground

some marine dumbass loved one of the

salvage dual 50s from

one of the planes over by the latrines

and set up shop

shot down a zero crashed on sand island

and a god saw myself mansfield nussbaum

focus on the job hi sir sorry skipper

we're on course we have a fair amount of

mileage to eat up before we course

change

keep me posted

look i'm sorry i'm still sorry

how'd you fall it certainly seems like

my fault

with first plane back she's

bad luck i guess you didn't have to be

first back

we could have checked in in the morning

but i was so eager to get clearance yeah

it's all right carol

it's all right

apparently papi cole found a tbd pilot

in the water yesterday so

i'm sure they're gonna be fine

yeah i'm sure

still feels like a order i mean

the order that ass is following

a crippled japanese fleet back to wake

island with no intention or capability

of actually attacking it

yeah well you don't use the damn fine

use of our time i mean what are these

damaged battle wagons

leaking oil and traveling at about 50
