this is a story of Seahawk

[Music]

for 1939 the wall was two months old

let's create on Poland had given the

world a new word and the General's a new

idea of death

at sea

the problems were still the same

in war Germany could feed herself

England could not if the ship's bringing

England's food could be sunk or

immobilized England would starve and the

war would be well

for this the Germans had three powerful

weapons a magnetic mine

boats and the surface rate

these pocket battleships were strong and

Swift

there had never been anything like

they were the Tigers of the sea

ten days before war was declared one of

these Raiders sailed from a German port

secret audience she sailed by night at

the coast of Norway passed unobserved

through the Denmark Strait between

Iceland and Greenland Venice into the

southern Atlantic when a supply ship was

already waiting for

months passed and nobody suspected that

a killer was left

until ship after ship failed to make its

government

[Music]

[Music]

Fortune of War captain

Pilots That's What You Are

my shippers went inside Portuguese

territorial Wars no you can complain to

our captain complain what's the use of

complaining if something my ship you've

stolen my papers my position was clearly

marked from the chart your chart is

inaccurate

take a look at that

that's the cult of portuguese's East

Africa isn't it but still within the

three mile limit aren't we look there's

clips of order there's the lighthouse on

critical point you aren't blind

all I can see Captain are two of your

life quotes carrying all your crew to

safety

[Music]

please

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

so you are the pocket battleship

craftspay

evidence

foreign

officer has reported your protest about

the season of your ship you say that you

were in territorial Waters if you were

that makes it very difficult for me but

how so difficult sir it makes for me

already I've lost my ship and everything

else

to my mind there's not the slightest

doubt I've as well within the three mile

limit if I had my chart here I'd here is

your charge

please show me oh well okay

there see that line it couldn't be

clearer

we're not likely to agree Captain you

want the figures to prove you right and

me wrong whereas I want the thickest

surely make a compromise

you write out your protest and I'll give

you a receipt

it off sir shall we drink

s a genuine from the steamship Clinic oh

so you sunk the club

see that

oh so genuine yes but not from the

Clement I think

no from the Huntsman

captain of the Huntsman was a fallen

right

but is he on board well not exactly

believe me Captain I don't like sending

ships to the bottom

what's in her though

I like making war on civilians up till

now it's this dividends who have

suffered in this war because we are

sitting in armor and concrete

broadcasting to each other the air when

I'm making reconnaissance flights and

the sailors are

take me for example I'm in command of a

fine ship a new ship one of the finest

battleships to float a fast 25 knots

well

a heavy men's fire about six eleven inch

guns under

eight or ten farage

use your eyes

are to sink Merchant ships

Captain one of these days without you

wanting it you might brought up against

one of ours

you have any three ships that can catch

me

repulse renowned and hood of our

favorite

your big battleships are not fast enough

plenty of our cruises are faster than

you they can't match my guns

on paper

I have one other Advantage Captain the

vastness of the sea it's very difficult

to find me so I can appreciate that sir

I don't understand how your supply ship

can ever hope to find you God I find her

well it's not just as difficult

the simplest thing in the world captain

the uh details are secret but the method

is very old the ocean is divided into

squares and I know exactly in which

Square my Supply ship will be on a

certain bed

very interesting I know exactly what

you're thinking Captain but the charts

are safe

and saw you for the duration

so you see I can hunt the Seven Seas

from the North Pole to the top

well I hope you won't go as far as

that's it because I'm not quite pressed

for it but we'll get our tailor to make

you something more oh so we are going

south perhaps okay

difference between being in range

uh no not yet sir what's the delay I'm

sorry I said it's not completed yet I'll

uh I'll have it finished today

please complete it and have it put on

board the first merchant ship we can

take

well that's done

come on

please

[Music]

I've taken the rather unusual course of

sending for you because I wanted to see

you

and give you personally my appreciation

of the situation

I've ordered this concentration here of

the River Plate

because of news that I've received

of the latest movements of the German

surface radar that's a large in the

South Atlantic

I'd like you to look at the chart

the admiralty have good information

that this pocket battleship

it may be the atmos sure on the grass

Bay or the Deutschland

sailed from kill on August the 21st

she took up position well before war was

declared

up to September the 30th your techno

shipping

I can guess why not

Hitler thought that after the fall of

Poland Britain and France would make

peace

however

on September the 30th

she sank The Clement

yeah of Burnham buca

she immediately left this area for

Mid-Atlantic

well between October the 5th and the

10th

our victims with the Newton Beach Ashley

and Huntsman

once again she left this area hurried

later to proceed to the west coast of

Africa

where she sang the trevally

again

she moved to a new hunting ground

rounded the cape into the Indian Ocean

presumably to attack the cape in the

Australia routes

but she only sank a small tanker

the African shell

yeah the Mozambique Channel

she then presumed would be doubled back

because some days ago she sang the blue

Starliner Doric star

yeah

and she knows that the Doric star

managed to get off a signal that she was

being attacked

it's obvious that the Raider will want

to get out of that area as soon as

possible

now

in my opinion she will do one of three

things

one

she'll double back again into the Indian

Ocean

two

she'll try and slip back to Germany if

she came out through the Denmark Strait

or three

before returning home

she'll come over here to our part of the

world

where she should have been all the time

to make a last killing among the grand

ships and meet cargos of South America

and it's my instinct that that's exactly

what she'll do

making a guess at her probable speed I

estimate

that if she were making for Rio

should be there this morning December

the 12th

if she's making here for the river of a

plate

and that's what I believe

she'll be here 24 hours later

tomorrow

yes tomorrow

my object is destruction of the enemy

my intention to attack at once day or

night

she cannot gun us and outrageous

so as soon as we cite the Beast

we will close at maximum speed

and divided far by attacking on separate

flanks

Ajax Achilles

will attack in close company

extra will attack on our own

this way besides splitting the enemy's

main Armament we can also report each

other's wall of shot

Heather Cumberland could do with another

eight inch Cruiser

which is still refitting at the Falkland

she won't join us for fortnite

I'll tell your ship's companies they've

got to be on their toes for the next few

days

search for any defect that might produce

fighting efficiency have it dealt with

a pocket Battleship both in daylight and

foreign

let me see if I have got them right

early yesterday morning afternoon

battle took place the German pocket

Battleship Admiral crafts Bay was

engaged by three British Cruisers the

Exeter the Ajax and the Achilles

in course of this engagement the German

battleship gained a victory the British

Cruiser Exeter was seen to be shot to

pieces and the other British Cruisers

fled

the graphs pay received a few minor hits

and then proceeded to that is not

correct

no no

suffered serious damage she is not

seaworthy I'm quoting the official

communique of your own government quoted

by your own official agency deutsches

issued today at

official news must take into

consideration psychologists of people

the maintenance of morale of Captain

Langston

how would you assess the damage to your

ship

galleys have been destroyed I cannot

feed my men

as for the other damage who sent a

technical Commission on board and I gave

them it later I have that report how

much time would you say was necessary to

make you receive in my assessment two to

three weeks at least two weeks my

commission suggests 48 hours

but there are 64 hits on the super

structure alert

65

in view of this my government has

decided to grant an extension of 72

hours in order to render your ship the

Admiral crafts pay see worthy the time

limit being 8 pm on Sunday the 17th of

December but prohibiting in accordance

with the Articles of the 13th a

convention any repairs with the purpose

defense foreign

a few weeks time

you know the South American states claim

all the River Plate as territorial

Waters all of it between Punta de

madanas and punta delasquez yes I do

suppose the grass speed does make a

break for Buenos Aires do you try and

stop it

recall I was never much good on a horse

but I know the drill

don't take offenses until you have to

advisor bye good luck

excuse me sir this has just come through

from the Commodore

ultimately make a signal to admiralty

from commodore's South Atlantic a very

girlfriend so that signal is incorrect I

haven't said anything yet

I said make a single draft movie what's

wrong with that then you went on to save

from Commodore South Atlantic

well I

I am Commodore Harvard on time no sir

you are rear Admiral Sir Henry Harwood

Knight commander of the bar

my congratulations sir

sir

oh I said

come on bad news

I be made a companion of the boss

so a Patty and Bell

uh

-huh

[Music]

guys one Commander one companion of the

boss and on a blinking bus down between

us

[Music]

I shall never be any good after this as

an ordinary Naval attaching okay

realize you're asking me for your own

evil ends to violate your Excellency

he is Mr Millington Drake

all right I'm sure

you leave us please

he's Excellency the British Ambassador

in Buenos Aires

take care of the enemy's ears

well

here goes my professional reputation

going on with that in

McCall here sir

an emergency has arisen over the graph

spare

I know so but this is most urgent

I have just heard by admiralty code the

two of our Capital issues

I must insist

in this case urgency override security

both these Capital ships will be calling

in the next few hours

to refuel

they'll be down to their last drop when

they arrive

they've steamed at full speed for the

plate for obvious reasons

they request that we arrange for 2 000

tons of fuel

or fuel oil to be available in tankers

as from tonight

[Music]

and the afternoon papers will be out

soon

knowing how leaky the telephone cables

are between here and Buenos Aires

I shall expect to see the headlines

screaming that half the British Fleet

are of punto de leeste

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

this form

the lighthouse

and other powerful units the British

Fleet have joined Admiral Hardwoods

Mr Millington Drake sir why are you

agents now trying to delay the sailing

of the graphs pay explain this change of

attitude

Excellency it's not a change of attitude

no no

let's change the strategy

ladies and gentlemen it is Sunday

morning 10 15 the 17th of December the

day upon which the time limit set for

the Graf's Bay will expire to be precise

at 8 pm local time she must sail or the

Uruguayan government will return her now

the situation is far from clear for at

the moment we're witnessing the

departure of the French Merchant vessel

Dakota and apparently according to its

equality law a merchant ship must be

given 24 hours notice or 24 hours grace

before an enemy warship can sail after

all it seems that if the grass pay sales

or doesn't sail she's breaking the law

now it's rumored that outside the mouth

of the Rio de La Plata there are five or

possibly seven British warships waiting

for her another rumor says that the

Germans too are bringing up

reinforcements so that a naval battle

even greater than Wednesdays is imminent

all figured the crafts they would make a

run for it under cover of Darkness but

she's still here her Captain Captain

Hans langsdorf has worked the whole

night with the local Nazi diplomatic

authorities towards one of Germany's

most important decisions since the War

Began

to take this battered vessel out of the

Haven of the River Plate if not she'll

be in turn my boy we're living in

Nashville Buenos Aires four hours

steaming up the channel will it be a

fight for the desert get shot up

wouldn't be very good propaganda with it

[Music]

shook hands Was Heard to say until

tomorrow naturally

translate Mr Beasley of the trevenian

and Captain Dove the Africa shell

I've seen you before

well

when in the grass Bay with this

lined up on Deck when langman came on

board for the funeral that's right

I see you all went to it yes we all went

we wanted to I can understand that in a

way you were [ __ ] it

has been a terrifying experience my

monkey certainly thought so no you're

well out of it

yeah I shouldn't actually have known you

were on board when she sailed

do you think she'll try to break out sir

well you know that Captain better than

we do

[Music]

the old side

he's a good semen flash this is Mike

Fowler reporting to you from Montevideo

the latest rumor is that the Graf's bay

may be granted an extension of time

it's a bright sunny day here in

Montevideo very sunny indeed visibility

is about 20 miles but the British

warships are out of sight

it is now absolutely definite that no

less than 13 Allied warships including

the battleship Renown and the carrier

Arc Royal are waiting outside the same

question is on everybody's lips will the

graph Spade dare to come out

yeah

because I was Funston

from our ambassador Buenos Aires

strong rumor current here at the grass

Bay will sail tonight

so she is coming out

is she

what do you do if you had the graph

spare under your command

well I come out of some of the dark

try and Dodge the ships waiting for me

outside get to the Open Sea again

if I fail the Dodgers I might try to

finish isn't that what you do here

sounds simple I wonder if it sounds that

simple to langsdorf why not he's got

plenty of headaches

headache number one he doesn't know what

force we've got out here

headache number two

he can let himself be interned in

Montevideo

but Uruguay might come into the wall

later on on our side and then the graft

Spirit would fall into our hands

might make a dash for Buenos Aires

but the channel is narrow and shallow

and muddy

if he falls off his water intake he'd be

a Sitting Duck

yes

he'll come out

when do you think you'll move

nah

in the next 15 minutes that's when I'd

wear anchor

let's go and see

um

captains of Warships Mandel Woody are

not only naval officers what we do or

don't do is being constantly interpreted

one way or another

by friends and enemies all neutrals if

we think of it can only be interpreted

one way not so sure think a bit heart of

Oak

if we open fire within a River Plate

we'll be accused of violating neutral in

territory

I think what little girl

well it's up to you sir

um

thank you very much

hello hello this is Mike Fowler

reporting to you once again from my

Waterfront ringside seat in Montevideo I

had to go up the air just now because

the crowd here was so immense they broke

my microphone cable however thanks to

the Gallant police of Uruguay order has

been restored and the line has been

repaired there's two for you grateful

thanks to you based on thick doesn't it

as you know the time limit set for the

Graf's Bay was 8 P.M local time this

evening it is now 7 50. 10 minutes to go

it's hard to describe the scene here as

tension mounts by the minute

all right Woody here we go

make two Achilles in Cumberland

form a single line ahead

break on hoist order one

and it's an outsizing Buller hats if

this goes wrong

the sun is sinking the evening is fine

and clear everybody in Montevideo who

could walk ride or crawl has come down

to the Waterfront to get a ringside view

of this first real climax of the war the

crowd here on the beaches and rooftops

will put the Army Navy football crowd to

shame all afternoon we've watched men

being transferred to the SS Tacoma the

German Merchant

closed captioning not available

yeah what YouTube

the vast crowd which is being so noisy

all afternoon seemed to have lost their

voices as well

everybody's watching in silence

now

now

yes yes ladies and gentlemen the pocket

Battleship crafts Bay is finally moving

yeah she's moving out of the harbor

moving out of the harbor now under her

own power

go on to 18 knots

still 270 Due West

following her oh brother Anything could

happen now tell about aircraft

[Music]

standings

I can see something

nobody knows what Harry Hitler has told

him to do

surprised at the German Navy to be

interned or whether or where they want

to turn to fight a short spectacular

vicious action

nobody knows we're all aware of the fact

that the German propaganda machine

cannot possibly afford to lose the

battle with the whole of the world

looking on them taking sides Apex that's

awesome

I think he's left the deep down the

front has added

[Music]

gospel is now about three miles out he

seems to have changed course

yes yes she's changing course toward the

British ships

[Music]

slowing down

looks like she's going to stop now

[Music]

the mighty Battleship has come to a halt

we're all in suspense the sun is just

touching the Horizon and through my

glasses I can see quite clearly that a

big launch has left the battleship

Battleship and is proceeding to the

Tacoma I can see that the launch is full

of men I can assure you folks that

although we're able to follow every move

it's impossible to imagine what will

happen next a suspense here is

unbelievable the best guess is that

they've left a suicide crew on board to

put up as good a fight as possible

against hopeless odds and to go down

fighting the British ships

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

we'll win

time
