just look at his hand well I have to

help him along I suppose I could try a

heart sir he supposes he could try a

heart sir two clubs Captain Morel still

hold up doc far as I know three diamonds

they might have sent us a captain who

had his sea legs under him I guess they

do the best they

can I still don't see why they didn't

move W up he's been EXA long enough my

dear magon the only craft I've ever

commanded was a YW in the Miami Aunt

races and the nearest I ever came to

winning that was 29th pav may have been

desperate enough to put me in uniform

but not foolish enough to let me Sail

Away by myself beats me how I ever got

this far up the ladder money oh I know

you're rich boy oh don't be bitter

Grandpa you're bid

maon uh four Spades I'm not bitter I

just want to go home when I bought that

are deliberately distracting my partner

pass and

double all right Mr Mar

dummy this Morel seems like a cold sort

of a fish Captain Morel oughtn't to be

here at all he's as weak as a kitten a

man who gets his ship torpedoed and

spends 25 days on a raft in the North

Atlantic oughtn't have to hit the ball

again with only a few weeks in the

hospital I guess there aren't enough

commanding officers to go around

well at least they gave him an easy ship

boy Easy's no word for it listen he'll

get more rest in this boat ship ship

boat what's the difference you still get

more rest here than he would if he were

in a feather bed now me i' I'd like

something to happen once in a while but

may he ever gets a load of this salty

crew in battle it'll send us all back to

boot camp I look so ridiculous with my

head shaved kid couldn't you have

indicated clubs then I could have gone

he maybe he wants to see if I'm awake

down

[Music]

here what's the rush I know about where

your juicing up for hey buddy what's the

Miss

gang gang way please I was here first

gang way yourself excuse me sir hey

break it up what the captain here what's

all the crowd about sailor well sir I uh

I guess we don't get much excitement

aboard this

ship I'll keep your seat what's your

name Andrew sir well what do you make of

it Andrew I don't exactly know Captain

our speeds kind of rattl in the set

we'll take a guess you're the operator

well sir it's knocking down about 10

knots it's got some power but it's too

small a spook to be a heavy vessel I'd

say it might be a fishing smack or well

it might be the cting Tower of a

subser bridge Lieutenant we Mr wear

we're about to lose radar contact at the

rate we're hitting the sea reduce speed

to speed of Target and get on its tail

at this distance we ought to make visual

contact at Daybreak shall I shake the

ship out for standby there isn't much

shaking out to be done down here but

ready underwater Search gear if this

spook is a youo he might pull the plug

and we'll have to go after

him who's the senior radar man Andrews

that's me sir all right then you'll have

to track the target for us any turn he

makes any change in speed no matter how

small don't you miss one move I'll stick

on them don't you worry

Captain all right I won't

anybody's going to be caught with his

pants down to be

us seems like he knows his business to

me feather Merchant that's all I got to

say feather

[Music]

steady as your go steady as your go

steady as your Go sir may I ask what

your procedure is Sir well if this is an

enemy ship he may have our signal on his

oscillator and he's trying to feel us

out take a couple of turns see if we

change position if we can hold an

unchanging position behind him he might

mistake us for a ghost EO in these Heavy

Seas the signal does not change cap star

can you estimate the degree

Andrews oh

there 140 all right sir 140 all is ahead

2/3 sir well done Andrews but the target

won't be satisfied with that one check

on us I look for him to make a turn

every now and then or he may slow down

or speed up thank you

sir well do you want to send a dispatch

sir why are you anxious to take one

sailor oh no sir I just thought maybe we

have to keep radio silence tonight

sailing you might tip our hand of the

target but I'll get one off the fleet

operations in the morning okay yes

sir this is the captain I guess you're

all waiting for some kind of word we're

tracking an unidentified ship we're

going to try to stay on his tail until

morning we will Breakfast early and go

to battle stations at

0530 don't be surprised if we tangle

with a pigboat a little after

Dawn do your jobs

efficiently we'll chalk one up for the

HS that's all I reckon we'll just drop

an egg right down his Periscope that'll

be the end of one more nazzy huh or

he'll just pop a fish right in our guts

and that'll be the end of this tin can

man a sub a no match for us oh they

ain't huh then how come they hunt you

boats with three destroyers working

together up in the North

Atlantic yeah how come you're

bet who the watch is

next L let him come

here lant K report forward

you wanted me her

cap yakun yours is the next watch on top

side we have a signal on the FMB I think

it's a false Echo but to check its

reaction you will zigzag twice an hour

until Daybreak If It Moves In closer you

will awaken me

immediately truer

come in

honey ah that couldn't annoys me remind

him that we do not salute at

see he's new here cap he will Tire of it

he's new like our new Germany a machine

cap you think we are wise in risking

that image to be a false Echo why is

expedient time is important honey and we

would travel too slowly underwater in 48

hours We R with rad m we take the

captured British code book and we go

home with it this is the important thing

not the code book but because when we

have it we can go home

of tastes like oil and bills and green

mold it's so down I

tastes like a you

boat I've been in the UB boots too long

honey there was a time when I went to

sea with a fresh heart but that was many

years

ago now I can only think of going

home you want more no

more does think I take too

much just enough to

sleep I cannot rest without it I think

too

much never think Hy be a good warrior

and never

think you pay penalty for thinking you

cannot

rest I thought his sons of men to be

good Warriors country Duty ask no

question

one is at the bottom of the

sea and this one is a cinder in the burn

airplane and I'm

glad that's the way for warriors to Die

Young and with

faith I've lived too

long your friends honey I've been with

you since I was a Cadet that's not what

I asked you

I do not

know sometimes I'm afraid of you many

times I do not understand you

well I'm not certain we are friends we

are friends iy believe that we are

friends because we are friends I tell

you

something I'm sick of this

war it's not a good

War you don't remember the first one

I was a fery in the yards and how proud

I was we went out in those little sardin

tens and if F merged we couldn't always

be sure we'd come up

again oh it was a good game we played

the captain would look through his

Periscope and sight a Target and then he

did arithmetic in his head and said

torpedo

loss and you know

something sometimes the torpedo wouldn't

even leave the to tube and if it did we

were most lucky to hit

something

no now I look in the Periscope and it

gives me the distance and the

speed I pass this information to the

attack table the Machinery turns and the

lights

flesh and we get the answer the torpedo

runs to its

Target and there's no human error in

this they've taken human Arrow out of w

why they've taken the human out of

War all was different

then put iron in the country's

backbone gave them Brave

memory and even in defeat it gave them

honor but there has no honor in this

war memories will be ugly even if we

win and if we die

we die without

God you know that

honey I listen to what you say

AAP it's a bad

War the reason is

Twisted the purpose is

dark it's not for a simple man

Lieutenant gra coming up Sir for

time Mr Crane what's your best time on

reloading death charges that's not so

hot captain some of my boys are pretty

green but I'd say oh 3 minutes or four

well you've got to do better than that I

can try sir that's not good enough might

be the difference between stopping the

enemy and getting stopped ourselves well

if that's the case sir we'll be good

enough I'll depend on

it Mr we i' like you to stick with the

plot in the Pilot House for the time

being if you will please hi sir

looks like we've run out of the

Squall y Captain why don't you lay into

your cabin for a while oh I'm all right

doctor you're getting the feel of a ship

again either that or that pig boo out

there is strong

medicine I don't see how you can know

it's the enemy

well call it a six sense if you want to

I always seem to know when there's a

mine working the other end of that radar

interesting you know I've heard Hunters

say the same thing they can sense the

presence of game well in any case this

is going to be a disappointed ship if it

isn't the

enemy yes you all seem to be a

bloodthirsty

crew well the men would like a chance to

do what they're here for not much other

reason for existence not now anyway now

I sometimes wonder if they're ever was

another reason I know what you

mean I had a baby Clinic up in Ohio it's

pretty important to me now it seems like

something had happened on another planet

and in another

Century what was your work Captain this

see me and you were a sailor I was third

officer on a figher out of Boston to

Liverpool laav and back again some about

crew will be glad you know that our sius

boys were complaining mightly about

getting a civilian skipper feather

Merchant I think they call it oh I am a

feather Merchant well yes but not

exactly no exactly on the figher we were

men against the sea here we're men

against men like every other civilian in

the war I had to learn a new way of

thinking why did you change over to the

Navy the freder I was on was cut in half

by a torpedo I thought I'd like to be on

the shooting end for a change

Captain Captain I targets increasing to

13 knot sir bring up a compensating

speed Mr w i sir all engines ahead

standard 203 RPM sir very

well well in time we'll all get back to

our own stuff again the war get

swallowed up and seem like it never

happened yes but it won't be the same as

it was we won't have that feeling of

permanency that we had before we've

learned a hard truth how do you mean but

there's no end to misery and destruction

you cut the head off to snake and grows

another one you cut that one off and you

find another you can't kill it because

it's something within ourselves you can

call up the enemy if you want to but

it's part of us we're all men I suppose

there is some reason to lose hope but

you know I reject it because I have a

family and I want something better for

them than war and I think it's it's

possible you any children

captain no

married I married a girl in England she

was

killed

bombers no when the war broke out I got

passage for on my frighter for home the

one that was torpedoed in half I was AF

when it happened I watched the other

half of the ship just slide away there

wasn't anything I could do about it I

saw her run out on the for deck and I

heard her call my name

and and that half of the ship just

turned over and went

down we hadn't been married very

long bring up the fire room tell them

we're making smoke I don't want to see

that at dawn all sir you got more reason

than the rest of us to want to catch

this submarine ahead it might be the one

that oh it might be but this isn't my

private war doctor I'm just doing what I

have to do like that German captain out

take our last contact with the target as

a starting point our course was 164 sir

give the target a course of 260 keep

them on for 30 minutes at a speed of 4

knots 260 30 minutes 4 knots and

bringing back on course 140 for 30

minutes of the speed of of 8 knots 140

30 minutes 8 knots we'll hold our

present course in speed for half an

at the end of that time give me a course

and speed to intercept the target are we

going to make a lost contact search

captain we won't catch this bird in the

search pattern I'm pretty sure he's

dusted off our ke and scooted in the

opposite direction our course would be

239° speed 19 knots we would Intercept

in uh 28 minutes from the beginning of

the Run sir all right well try it the

target might not come back on course 140

sir no I think he will he's got an

important Mission nothing's going to

stop him short of being sunk pass the

word to battle station stand easy

he he goes

lucky enough to tie onto that ubo again

he may tow us up against the Raider

deserted sea well be real enough if that

pig boo puts a fishing

us any luck Rimfire no sir them fish

afraid to Make Some Noise if they

bite hey let me try

it

for

e e

I guess you're finding a sun kind of

hard to take after the North Atlantic oh

it doesn't matter it's always either too

cold or too hot wherever there's a war

on well I have a salt pill

thanks we've been floating around for

quite a while don't think there anyin

chance that you both's gotten away from

us again do you no he's down there all

right beats me how they get men to do it

do what go and sit in that coffin down

there oh they're not so bad off

actually they stand a better chance than

we do in this

case pretty hard for one ship to

surprise

them their Commander might be able to

knock us off if he's smart enough you

think he is what smart

enough we'll know that when it

happens I wonder what sort of man he

is well he's got a share of guts I know

that if he weren't so bullheaded about

coming back on course 140 he could have

kissed us could by a long time ago

that's all I

know I have no idea what he is and what

he

thinks I don't want to know the men I'm

trying to

destroy hi

cap yes I know the American must be far

away by this

time it's a curious thing but I know

he's there

waiting all right we go silent routine

140 level level course will be 140 140

continue silent routine

[Music]

leis get up we got

something R

sonar go ahead

sonar propella cavitation deep and slow

can you pick up a heading and you bigger

heading L think he's moving Southeast

coming back on 140 again alert battle

station alert battle station commence

underwater search commence underwater

search give me minimum RPM on both

shafts tier

[Music]

140 propell

[Music]

he's a devil

honey

somehow somehow we must lose

him I'll kill

him plot has him pinpointed sir ready to

close in sir no pass the word I want a

conference with all officers and Chiefs

make it the warden

Bo's mate pass the word all officers and

Chiefs in the ward room on the

double we're at a disadvantage because

he can turn sharper than we

can we can shake him up but a death blow

would be pure

luck we've expended a third of our depth

charges the uo can stay underwater for

another 24 hours if he wants to if we

run out of depth charges the offensive

will have changed hands and we'd have to

break contact to get away from his

torpedo

on the other hand we just can't follow

them and wait for our ships to join us

because we might get pulled into a trap

with a German Raider before they get

here what we're going to do is to fight

sort of a delaying

action enemies about a th000 yards

ahead we'll hold this distance for a

little while and we'll run in Lay one

pattern of charges drop back wait for

one hour and attack

again we can keep this routine up for 7

hours he can't get anywhere very fast

and our ship should be here by the end

of that

period you might even

surface being inside a submarine under

attack is the worst experience you can

imagine after they get on to what we're

doing they might prefer to come up and

surrender or at least shoot it out with

us I want you all to get as much rest as

you can stand easy at your stations but

be ready every time we lunge it's going

to be a long dull job but it's a damn

site for for the Germans we'll begin the

routine at500

tear us apart the next time what do you

suggest K surface her capan

surrender him I'm not concern cap

schfer I say go on Eli what's the

condition of the ship we've not yet been

hurt but we cannot Escape

the new Germany put this on the ship's

turntable but the sound will carry her

cap it will help the American to know

our position put it on

Rich sonar I'm getting screwy noises

from the hydrophone sonar report screwy

noises from the target sir tell them to

cut it in on speaker enson put it on the

line

Lis and L

[Music]

tojust that last one for a while he

can't stay down there much

longer come back on 140 140 140 baffer

yeah ask Brown which way the American

turned after the attack come

on turn to Star cap

uhhuh now I will show you

something each time he has attacked we

have turned off to port or starbo to

avoid the

attack he drops his Vasa bombs and runs

on for 3 or 400 m and then turns to fall

back on our

Stern he doesn't always turn the same

way but twice he did to run parallel

with our course for a very few

minutes in those minutes he was

vulnerable if he does it

again we will be

ready there will not be time to come up

to Periscope

depth but it's possible

if we spread the four bow Torpedoes

fired all at once angled a few degrees

apart one may

hit one will be

enough but uh if it does not turn

parallel to our course what can we

do we will survive until he does

weather from weather control

Sir Mr W yes sir the weather's going to

get worse before Dawn there some wind

it's going to be difficult to keep a fix

on the Target in the heavy sea we may as

well try to finish him off if we can

immediately immediately you inform Mr

have left at the Target

closing oh he comes early we are ready

carefully the pig booat got one in where

it would do the most damage and we're

going to lose the ship but we still have

a kick left we're going to try to use it

I'm hoping that playing dead and the

fire will bring the enemy to the

surface except for securing crew and the

gun crew of M 31 I want all of you to

abandon ship repeat Abandoned Ship get

as far away as quickly as you can it's

possible the enemy will put another fish

to us without warning now get going good
