- We can't pick up the lightship, sir.
- Keep on lighting.

Keep it steady.

Hello, Mac.

We are trying to pick up the lightship.
We should be in, by noon.

Can you sniff out there, Mac?
Smell Canada.

It's a good smell.

Wait till you see the survivors
waiting for you.That's something.

�'ve got my leave but
I've not got my ship.

- �hey'll give you another ship.
- I'd like that.

That's what they all say.

Well, I'll meet you 6 months from now,
in another corvette.

��u'll be boasting you head off. Best
ship in the Royal Canadian Navy, right?

�f course, If I were you, Mac,
I think I'd ask for a destroyer.

This time you ask to get pretty sick
on these Donald Ducks.

Lightship's answering, sir.

�ake his message.

HMCS Yukon with slow convoy 63
accompanied with 37 ships.

Survivors of Norwegian freighter
OSLO land on HMCS Hamstead.

Ambulance requested on arrival.
Subgate for 12:00

Ambulances requested upon arrival.

How about a spot or something
when we're done?

Not a bad idea.
Call the steward, No 1.

Have him set up some
refreshments in my cabin.

Yes, sir.

Messenger, send up
the Captain's steward.

Captain's steward, to the bridge.

Captain's steward, to the bridge.

...one thing being torpidoed they give you
a new uniform when actually needed one.

Well, as for me, I'm not going to be
on a ship blown up onto me again.

I'm staying ashore,
this is my last trip.

- We've heard that since we once started.
- Yes, but I mean it this time.

��w are you gonna do it,
how are gonna work it, Stooky?

- �es, how?
- Well, I'll say to the manning officer:

�t's not that I don't take the sea, sir.
it's my ulcers.

�nd the manning officer would say:
"O'Meara...

We appreciate your long
service in corvettes...

"...so I want to give you an ashore job."
Lodging and comfy.

�n extra couple of bucks a day sitting
behind a desk all dressed up, tiddly.

- Can you see me?
- No, I can't.

The've got plenty of new recruits
to fight the war they wouldn't miss me.

�es, you're are probably right there.

As a matter of fact, Stooky...

...I overheard the old man and
Mr Rawlins, discussing you.

Captain is going to recommend you
for a discharge.

- Discharge?
- Yes.

- Discharge, did you say?
-You're getting pretty ancient, you know.

� guess, the old man figures
you can't stand a corvette anymore.

- �e said that? �he old man said that?
- Yes.

So, he wouldn't go to sea
without me?

�'m gonna be on his next ship.
He wouldn't leave me behind.

It's what I heard.

We are near the harbor now.
Are you all men all right?

- �es, sir.
- Good.

I'll be ashore with you
on the first evening lot.

- Thank you, sir.
- Very good, sir.

That's the best sub lieutenant
in the Navy, that mr Rawlins.

- I'm glad he was rescued with us.
- Listen...

��, the old man wouldn't say
a thing like that. I'm not old.

�'m nearly a baby,
hardly a line on my face.

�hey just got your number, Stooky
Well, gang, let's go on deck.

What's the matter with you, Crickett?

- Well, I was thinking of Shakespeare.
- Oh, he had fleas...

Sure he had fleas, but he was
the best little puppy in the fleet.

He was swimming towards that raft
when the machine gun got him.

�'ll get the Nazis for that.

Sure, you will, Crickett.
We all, will.

- Hands, fall in for entering harbour.
- Now, there's �ne pipe I like to hear.

Listen, Evans. I can scent
corvettes as well as you can.

- Well, you used to be all right...
- Used to be?

Who was to pull you on to the float
when we went down?

The old man himself said
that I saved the whole lot.

You men, you give me
that bill again...

- Who was that?
- Tommy Roberts.

You better report your names
to the Manning Officer.

- There's leave to you.
- Yes, sir.

Have you figured out what
you gonna do with it?

- Yes, sir.
- What about you, �'�eara?

Well, sir, if I wasn't a Teeto
I strongly suspect...

-...I was going to get a little stinky.
- � am glad you are a TT (teetotaller).

Funny, the way they make mistakes
on service papers.

Like mine, sir.
I've got 10 years to make proper age.

Just a slip put a little embarrassing.
Makes a man old before his time is over.

- Don't you think so, sir?
- Well, O'Meara...

�xcuse me, sir, if there is nothing more
I think I'd like to look after the wounded.

Very good.
I'll be at the admiral's office.

�es, sir.

- Stay out of trouble, you men.
- Yes, sir.

- Well, here we are.
- The man wouldn't do it, see?

� know he wouldn't.

�'ll be on his next ship,
he couldn't do without me at all.

Enough of that.
It belongs to somebody.

But, it looks lonely.

- �ello, Peters.
- Good to see you, sir.

�'ll tell the Admiral
you're here.

- �ello, Thomas.
- Glad to see you back, sir.

- Lt Commander McLain is here, sir.
- You had quite a time over, sir.

Well, hello there, McLain.
Come in, come in.

Thank you, sir.

Pull out a chair and make
yourself comfortable.

Cigarette's there, help yourself.

-We had a signal about you, what happened?
- We run straight into a tin fish.

I think it was meant for the tanker on
our port quarter. We were just unlucky.

- Where did it hit?
- Aft the bridge.

We went down in a few minutes.

- �any subs?
- A pack of them.

- Where you got a couple?
- We got one with the first attack.

Blew into the surface
with four patterns.

I sent a crew to board in.
They were below when the sub blew up.

- �'ve heard about that.
- There was no trace.

�nd then, what?

�he next day we got contact with another
one and dumbed the rest of our charges.

�hen, we led YUKON over the spot
and she finished the job.

The Heinies in that sub never
got to the surface.

- Good work.
- I had a good crew.

� know it, McLain.
I was running through a list here.

� find that less than half dozen had
a sea experience when you took them.

The rest of the boys were from
the Prairy, from Ontario, Quebec.

Where your first lieutenant
comes from?

- Regiana, he was a druggist.
- And your sub-lieutenants?

One was studying Law in Vancouver.

�he other one came from the city,
just out of school.

They made credit to themselves
and to you McLain.

�nd now, how about a stretch ashore?

- � want another ship.
- I thought you would.

- We'll talk about that, later.
- I'd like to talk about it now, sir.

��u don't want your leave?

- I want a ship as soon as I can get one.
- Why do you want to get back so soon?

- �t's my job.
- No, it's more than that.

Yes, sir, it is.

When that sub that put
a fish into us, she surfaced.

We just got away on the starboard
boat, filled with men.

�hat U-boat machine-gunned
everyone of those men to death...

and I had to sit and take it.

Some day we may find that sub. She had
a large Iron Cross on the coning tower.

We'll be looking for that.

Come over here.

I can't give you a command
right now, but down there...

are six corvettes, ready for launching.

You had one of the first ones.
She was a good ship, she did her job.

But these are better.
Rest up a bit and then, some day...

take a walk through the yard
and pick the one you want.

�'d like to go today, sir.

Yes, sir.

- Let me know the one you pick.
- Thank you, sir.

And, McLain...

- � think you did a fine job.
- Thanks again.

�ttention!

What you've been waiting here for?

-�ave you reported to the Manning Officer?
- Yes, sir, but...

- I beg your pardon, sir.
- What is it, Bailey?

- Did you get a ship, sir?
- Yes.

Do we go with you, sir?

� say, you do.

- That's fine, sir.
- Me too, sir?

- �ll of us.
- Wonderful to hear, sir.

- That's fine, sir.
- Thank you, sir.

��u lying sea-going worm!

Giving me that tease warning
about the discharge.

Just wait till � get you...

I hope y�u'll be dead than
a dead catfish when I get you.

Don't do that to me.
Listen, when I....

Boy, am I tired.

- What's this stuff we're painting?
- It ain't got a name.

Who's taking about a name?
� said, what is it?

�t ain't a destroyer,
it ain't a motorboat....

and sure it doesn't look like
an aircraft carrier.

- �his is a corvette.
- That, still don't tell me nothing.

- When did you get here?
- Yesterday.

�ey, do they put a gun
on these things?

�oly smoke, forty thousand men
builting corvettes in Canada.

�ne completed every four days.

And you ask do they put a gun in it
and what is a corvette?

�in't pretty ships, maybe. But, brother,
they've got an awful lot of guts.

�eah, but who's crazy enough
to go to sea in them?

�here's a lot of guys that don't care
about life insurance.

How many of these
wave-hoppers we've got?

The Navy don't talk,
so I don't know.

But we've been making them
ever since it started the war.

It might be a good idea
if you'd keep it up.

- Who's that, the foreman?
-I don't know, but I ain't taking chances.

Where can I find Miss Cartwright?

I think, she's in the kitchen,
straight ahead.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

I'd like to speak to Miss Cartwright.

Joyce, someone to see you.

My name is McLain.

- Lieutenant Commander McLain?
- Yes.

I think we can talk better out here.

You came to tell me about
my brother, didn't you?

�es.

- When did you get in, Mr McLain?
- Today, a few hours ago.

- How many of you came back?
- Twelve.

12 out of 65.

Well...

I'm glad they were some.

- You were very lucky, Mr McLain.
-Those things are always a matter of luck.

Some, aren't.

�'ve always thought my brother
would one of the lucky ones.

I'm sorry.

How did it happen?

A direct hit in the boilers.
There's not much chance in a corvette.

No, I suppose not.

Where was Dick when it happened?

We lost your brother before
we're even torpedoed.

- � don't understand.
- You see...

we brought a U-boat to
the surface the day before.

Y�ur brother headed
the boarding party and...

the U-boat blew up while
he was below and on.

They didn't tell me any of these.

- Why was Dick in the U-boat?
- I sent him.

Why?

We try to keep submarines
from scattling.

�nd...he died that way?

- �ot a chance.
- He had a chance.

�n a sinking submarine?

- Why did you send him?
- Somebody had to go.

- �e was available.
- Available?

� boy has to die because
he's available?

You sent a boy he knew absolutely
nothing about those things.

A boy who had never been to sea
before to his whole life.

- He was one of my officers.
- He was a child.

When he first joined your ship
he used to tell me about you.

�ow hard you were.
How many times he was miserable.

�ow, nothing he ever did,
was right in your eyes.

He had to learn.

He paid a terrible price of what
you taught him, or seemed so.

�r McLain;

Why did you come here to see me?

�ave you been to see the families
of the other men who are lost?

��.

�s this a special case?

Is it that something was bothering you
that made you come here?

I'm sorry, miss Cartwright.

�s it that you knew
he was going to be killed?

Is it that you knew you shouldn't have
sent him, �s that why are here?

��, that is no why.

�ut you could have sent
an experienced officer.

- Where were they?
- One came back with me.

He's 22 years old.
The others are dead.

� came to give you this.
It was your brother's.

He was a good officer.

I sent him because I trusted him
and he wanted to go.

Good bye, miss Cartwright.

- Hello, captain. How is she looking?
- Fine.

What do you think of that
extended foxhole?

�t ought to help to keep
the troops dry.

-�'ll have it ready for you in short time.
- Good.

�r McLain?

�hey told me at the Admiral's Office
that I might find you here.

- I came to apologize.
- There's no reason for that.

I was rude t� you, last night.
I was angry.

��u only came to bring me
that memory of Dick.

One of those funny little gifts
that mean so much.

I guess it was a hard thing to do
and I made it harder.

I don't think it did,
miss Cartwright.

Thank you for saying that.

�ay I...sit here with you,
for a moment?

At most certainly.

�hat's your new ship, isn't it?

As I came up here,
I saw you looking at it.

�'m a Nova Scotian Bluenose.

Since I was a baby I've been
watching men look at ships.

�t's easy to tell the ones they like.
Ones in water.

You're only waiting to get into
the deep water, aren't you?

- Cos is yours.
- ��u're pretty definite.

We're definite in Nova Scotia.
About things like ships.

�nd fish.
The best in the world.

�ave you ever tasted
Fraser River salmon?

��.

�n other words, I...

I'm only trying to tell you that
I should have known better last night.

- � had no right...
- I'm speaking of fish.

� know where there's prickly trout
about of this size.

�hey are pretty hard to hook, too.
And they really give you a battle.

�hanks very much.

When she'll be ready?

I hope pretty soon, now.

�ou are very anxious, aren't you?

Well...I like to be
at the edge of the convoy.

Why, do you?

I suppose because...well...

When we turn those loaded ships,
over the English, on the other side...

something always happens inside me.
I don't know what it is, but...

It's good.

�hanks, Mr McLain.

I'd like to come again.

It's passed lunch time.
We can stop on the way uptown.

- �nd try some bluenose fish?
- Well, at least, argue about it.

� have a rock in my shoe.

- We walked a long way.
- I hadn't noticed it.

Neither had I.

King's College is a lovely place,
isn't it?

- Do you come here often?
- As much as I can.

�t's about time for evening quarters.

- Oh, Paul?
- Hello, Joyce.

- Paul, this Lt Commander McLain.
- How do you do.

- �'ve always wanted to meet you, sir.
- This is my brother.

Joyce told me you called on her
to tell her about Dick.

- We appreciate it, sir.
- I didn't realize it was two brothers.

- You're following in good footsteps.
- �hank you, sir.

- Where's your Division, now?
- Just finishing seamanship, sir.

When you take off your white cap?

We have a month's gunnery
and then we're through.

Well, that's quarters.
Glad I've met you, sir.

- See you later, Joyce.
- Goodbye, Paul.

A' Divison!

Form in!

�e looks so smart, don't he?
So young.

You didn't tell me
you had another brother.

��.

I know I didn't.

I'm glad you came
to the shipyard, but I...

...am sorry you felt
you had to apologize.

- � know that ever more, now.
- Cadets Company!

H�h!
Right...turn!

By the left...quick, march!

�eah, this beer is getting
weaker everyday.

- Crickett...I know, he looks lonely.
- Well...

- Well, it does.
- Hey, Stooky...

- ��ve over the chair.
- Where have you been?

Down to the shipyard with the old man.
He's been there everyday just watching.

- �h, the ship, how is she coming along?
-We'll get to the bottom of it, tomorrow.

- Right on schedule.
- There's something we don't understand.

�ou told us there're six corvettes
building in the yard.

- �eah.
- The old man picked one of the bunch.

�es, 225 and a sweat,
little lady she is.

We're wondering how come he picked
that one, all the corvettes are alike.

- �ll corvettes are alike?
- Aha.

- �hat's rigidity.
- Certainly.

- ��u wouldn't understand.
- Understand what?

- � ship has it or hasn't got it.
- Got what?

�he thing I'm talking about.
Me and the old man, we saw it at once.

We walked around, looked to them
all from stem to stern.

�hen, we sat down and
looked at them again.

�nd there she was.
Number 225.

The old man looked at me,
I looked at him and we both said:

"That's her, that's the one".

- � still don't understand.
- Of course you don't.

It's something that only a real
sailor would recognize in a ship.

�t's a...it's a...

Psychic, that what it is.
Psychic.

What's psychic?

- �h...Ah..
- Well, Stooky.

�aybe you and the old man
can look at six hulls...

and say one has it
or whatever it is.

�ut a ship is not a ship to me, unless
she gets her teeth in the green water.

- �vans, every ship has a soul.
- �y foot...

The ship has just got a disposition
and it's mostly nasty.

Why don't you go home?

Why don't you take that 28 days leave
you're always crappy about?

- Bailey, will you put this...
- I will, I want to make one more trip.

- What's the matter?
- I want that stein.

- There are three others all the same.
- Oh, no, this one has it.

- Has, what?
- You wouldn't understand.

Something only real beer drinkers
recognize in a stein.

- �t's...psychic, that's it, psychic.
- Say...

Is psychic something
the doctor gives you?

��, Cricket.

...for he commandeth, and raiseth
the stormy wind

which lifteth up the waves thereof.

He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still.

Whoso is wise, and will
observe these things,

...even they shall understand
the loving kindness of the LORD.

Conduct them into safety to
the Haven where they would be.

with the grateful sense of thy mercies
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

�men.

� christen thee DONNACONA.

�ay God be with thee and
all that sail in thee.

Good throw, Miss Williams.
She's well launched.

- �hank you.
- Good luck to you, McLain.

Thank you, sir.

We are sending 15 sub-lieutenants
to the West Coast, Tuesday.

Give me a list of officers
that are at disposal.

�es, sir.

Hello, Mac.
Will they commision your ship?

- �ll I need is a crew.
- Here they are.

�he men have received their draft sheets
and signals have gone to the officers.

I can guess what you're thinking.
� know it's mostly a "green" crew...

but you had "greens" before this.

�s you requested, some of your
old hands will be with you.

�he rest of these men have
never smelt salt water.

I've given you all the experienced
men I could afford.

As for officers, well...
young Rawlins is going along.

�nd your new 1st Lieutenant, Bill Gardner
knows what the Atlantic is all about.

Your other sub is Cartwright.

� believe he's the brother of the boy
who's been with you last time.

Yes.

- Well, good luck, Mac.
- Thanks.

�ello, Blake?

Tell barracks to have those
men for DONNACONA...

...ready to go aboard
in the morning.

And I've passed the word
to their Divisional Officer...

you better have them
turned out smartly.

An Admiral's inspection
will be nothing on this.

- Rodgers, ordinary seaman, sir.
- Ever sailed in a corvette, Rodgers?

- ��, sir, I'm a new entry, sir.
- We'll expect a lot of you.

�very man on the corvette
service works hard.

There's your card, Red Watch.

Far my standing orders,
post to domestics.

Yes, sir.

All right, Jimmy the �ne is OK.
I know him, used to be a hockey champion.

- What did you call him?
- Our First Lieutenant.

�e's always called Jimmy �ne.
� just played No 1.

- Were you ever at sea before?
- No, I live in Saskatchewan all my life.

- South hopper, ah?
- Yes, I guess so.

What's that little house there
on the top of the bridge?

�he ASDIC house.
The most important spot in a ship.

For subs.

It's a gadget that tells us where they're
and what direction are moving in.

�ello, Smith.

How come you were draughted
for this ship?

Last time we met you,
you were asking for a shore job.

�es, sir, I got it.
I also got married.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, no, sir.

- Condolences, then.
- Yes, sir.

By the way.
I'm sure you remember...

all the rules, king's regulations and
Admiralty instructions.

What an officer can do
and what he can't do.

- I hope so, sir.
- Then watch your step, Mr sea-lawyer.

Cos the first regulation you break,
Heaven help you.

- �lright, Smith, stow your gear.
- Thank you, sir.

- �nd...Smith.
- Yes, sir?

Pick yourself a haircut and
I don't mean on your face.

�es, sir.

Well, I'm seeing all my old friends today.
How are you, Cricket?

Afraid and mettle, sir.

You've developed quite a bust
since I saw you last.

- What breed is it this time?
- I don't, frankly, know, sir.

Let's see it.

�t's just a little one, sir.
Not worth talking about.

�e was lonely and I thought
he needed a home.

Where do you find them all?

- �t's a cute thing.
- His name is Milton, sir.

Well, Milton is alright with me
if he's alright with the coat.

Thank you, sir.
Come on, Milton, I'll show you the ship.

Climb up there.
Here we go.

�ey, cook, have you got time
for a quick trimming?

Sure, I'll get my clippers
and be right back.

- Is this where we live?
- I guess so, how do you like it?

Little small, but I've waited
long time for this.

So have I.

Here, son, take this.

��t too close, cook.

Say, Billy, tell me.
That's not the cook.

- Yeah, that's him.
- �h no.

Milton, I'm half sorry
I brought you aboard.

We both will be down to skin and bones
with that skeleton feedless.

�ut don't mind.
I'll get you nice, little comfortable.

What do you have there?

�hat's Milton.
Milton, meet the boys.

- Hi, Milton.
- Hi, how are you doing?

- That's the lot, Carson.
- No, sir, we are missing two stokers.

I'm afraid, sir, that we have Walsh
and Jones drafted also.

�hose two! We declared war �n Hitler,
Walsh declared war on Jones!

Wait a minute!
Not so fast!

- Who goes first?
- Walsh, Jones, come aboard.

- Leading Stoker Walsh, sir.
- Stoker A' Class Jones.

��ur announcement wasn't necessary,
thank you.

I have only one thing
to say to you, men.

You've been fighting in the boiler
rooms of half the fleet.

- ��, sir, we've been only in 6 ships.
- Seven.

Six, the other was a harbor-crafted.

- �hat don't count.
- Understand this! No more fighting!

- ��, sir, we've stopped that.
- Yes, sir, we have.

- ��u have?
- Yes, sir.

�hen, what happened
to your eye, Walsh?

- �hat's a very old �ne, sir.
- Yeah, last night.

Remember what I said. The boiler room
of this ship isn't a wrestling ring.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Captain would like to see
all officers at his quarters, sir.

- Thank you. Carry on, Cox.
- Yes, sir.

- �elp yourself, Rawlins.
- Thank you, sir.

- I like these house warmings.
- I'll be glad to get her in deep water.

Lean against something and
have a drink, No 1.

- Thank you, sir. Crew is all aboard.
- What do you think of them?

I caught the order of hasty
here and there.

The salt water is the best deodorant
I know for them.

�hey'll run into shape.
They always do.

- What's the menu, sir?
- A middle ocean escort.

That goes my wife
for good old Montreal.

�nd grass will do again.

Never mind, Navigator.
It won't be f�r ever.

- How do you feel about it, Rawlins?
- Suits me fine, sir.

- I like it up here in the middle.
- So do I.

�es?

Sub-Lieutenant Cartwright,
reporting aboard, sir.

- Hello, Cartwright.
- Good day, sir.

��ur fellow officers.
Mr Paul Cartwright.

- Gardner.
- Glad to know you, sir.

- Devlare.
- How do you do?

- Rawlins.
- Hello.

- �ave a drink, Cartwright.
- Thank you, sir.

-��u're in relation with Dick Cartwright?
- My brother.

- Glad to have you with us.
- Any of you gentlemen like speeches?

- ��, not at all, sir.
- I hate them.

�specially when you have to make
them to officers, so we'll skip it.

- What's your specialty, Cartwright?
- Anti-submarine, sir.

- You're our ASDIC officer, then.
- Thank you, sir.

��u won't thank me.
Don't you like the sherry?

- �es, sir.
- Drink it up.

We won't have much time
to sherry from now on.

Break it up!
Cut it out!

�en minutes aboard this ship
and you're fighting again.

- What's this all about?
- � was minding my own business...

- You, get up, out of there.
- Are you kidding?

Get off him, you boiler bump.
Now, who started this?

- �ot me.
- He did.

- You're a liar.
- What are you talking about?

��w would you boys like to be separated
and transferred to different ships?

- �h, no, not that...
- Well, that's what will happen.

�ne more round and I will have
you both up, before No 1.

- �es, sir.
- Corvette coming alongside.

Remember what I've told you.

��u Walsh, get in your working
clothes and go below.

- You heard what he said, didn't you?
- Yeah, yeah...

�� more fighting. Imagine you on
one ship and me on another.

That's a good way to break up
a beautiful friendsh...

Subtitling by Nikodimos Sentinel.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Well...

�ere's to the bright
lights of the town.

��w do they look these
lovely evenings?

� almost forgot.
It's been so long.

�t seems they have a theme song
aboard this ship.

�verybody goes ashore,
but Cartwright.

��u've been working hard,
haven't you?

You're looking at the perpetual
ox of the day.

- What's the matter, Paul?
- I don't know, Joyce.

- Do you mind being duty?
- No, I don't mind, really I don't.

�'m learning a lot.
�t's just...

Well, it's just I can't seem
to satisfy him.

- ��u mean, Mr McLain, don't you?
- Yes.

�ell me.

We've been getting the devil
everyday in about everything.

The other day we did a trial run
and whaled in everyone aboard.

Especially me and the green kids
in the mess decks.

�e expects us to know
everything about a ship.

Even if we're doing things right,
he's pounding us.

- � guess it isn't easy, is it?
- Can't be worse.

�nly I wish he'd stop acting
as we were personal...

...in winning the battle of Atlantic.

�ac, come over to the ship
for dinner, tomorrow.

��u mean that fighting
firetrap of yours?

Certainly, we serve the best
red-led in bacon in the Navy.

- Okay, good night.
- Good night.

- What the devil goes on here?
- I don't know.

- Someone told us to stow them below.
- That's an ammunition hatch.

�'�eara!

- �es, sir.
- Where's the quartermaster?

- He was here a moment ago, sir.
- Where's the officer of the day?

- � think he's down the wardroom, sir.
- Show these men...

where to stow those bottles.

Come on, take them off that hatch.

- Good evening, sir.
- Hello, Mac.

- Hello, Joyce.
- I've been keeping Paul company.

- ��u�ll have a drink, sir?
- Thanks, I�ll mix it.

�y the way, we wouldn�t get very far
shooting soft drinks at the Germans.

- � beg your pardon, sir?
- I came aboard to find a civilian...

putting pop bottles down
the magazine hatch...

and there�s no
quarter master on deck.

- Are y�u the officer of the day?
- Yes, sir.

- Well, you should have...
- I�ve been for three days, sir.

� don�t think that�s
the point, Mr Cartwright.

- All right, sir. I�m wrong again.
- And I don�t think that�s the attitude.

� don�t know what attitude
you want, sir.

Personally, I think I�ve done my share
since I joined this ship.

ɴm the one who decides whether
you�ve done your share or not.

� doubt if you have
to sign the affirmative, sir.

Go to your cabin, Mr Cartwright
and stay there till I sent for you.

Very good, sir.

Good night, Joyce.

I think I�d better go now, Mac.

� am sorry you had to be there.

It�s very serious for Paul, isn�t it?

Could be if he went any further.

I think � can see that.

��u don�t let anything interfere
with what you know it�s right, do you?

The ship is my command, that�s all.

And it�s not an easy thing for you
to take Paul with you, is it?

�t depends on you,

You leave and walk off this ship
with that tragic look on your face or

you say to yourself,
a young Sub got out of line...

and his commanding officer
stepped on him.

- Which he deserved.
- It will work out alright.

- Good show.
I�ll see you tomorrow night at the canteen.

�ac?

I know something else.

I know that a ship is nothing until
she gets men to sail her.

And when you leave...

I know that both you and Paul
will come back to me.

Good night.

Quartermaster.

�ave Mr Cartwright report
to me, in my cabin.

�es, sir.

- Yes?
- �he captain wants to see you...

-...in his cabin, sir.
- Very good.

Come in.

� wish to apologize, sir.

Cartwright, when you came aboard
this ship I said I�d skip the speech.

Well, I�m on the verge
of making one to you now.

Instead, I�ll leave you
with the thought.

�here are 65 men aboard this ship.

Their lives are the responsibity
of every officer, every second.

There is no such thing
as time off, from that.

�es, sir.

- All right, make your rounds.
- Yes, sir.

Hello.

- Hello, captain. Back with us again?
- You are the OAKLAND CITY, aren�t you?

That�s right. Remember they blow off
ICELANDER last month?

- You bet.
- That was a show.

- Hello, McLain, how are you?
- Fine, and you?

McLain, what are you doing here,
you young squish?

- Why, captain Smith, how are you, sir?
- I am fine, sailing tanks.

The EGYPTIAN STAR is my ship.

- What are you doing?
- I have a corvette.

- Well, you gonna protect me, eeh?
- Yeah.

Well, don�t try any fancy zig-zags
across my bow.

Remember, when you used to be
third mate under me?

��u were terrible.
I only had one worse than you.

�nd I threw him over the side
south of Jamaica.

�f I was a bad third mate, I was the best
source of cigarettes you ever had.

��u bummed them awfully
from Halifax to Hong Kong.

� only have little forgets
about cigarettes, that�s all.

- ��w are you, Mac?
- Fine, John, glad to see you.

- �hat�ll be the orders?
- Yes, sir.

Hello, captain, glad to have
you with us.

- Thank you, very much.
- Sit down, please.

I have little to say
in the introduction.

Many of you have sailed with
Commodore Ramsey before...

and I think all of you have been out
this port in convoy sometime or other.

��ur sealed orders have been given you
and they speak for themselves.

In them you will find your number
and your position in the convoy.

� only want to impress on you the importance
of keeping those positions at all times.

�he corvettes in company with you will make
every effort to screen your movements.

But if you drop out of station
or late behind, �ur corvettes...

...cannot imperil the convoy
for the sake of the struggler.

In case of fog, remember to
close up as much as possible.

The Commodore�s ship will communicate
with you by flag hoists...

using the international code.

And only emergency alterations of course
will be ordered after dark.

� wish you a safe and...
pleasant voyage.

Sir.

�s every captain here,
sure of his cargo?

�es, sir!

Let me put it this way.
In the last month we had...

two merchant ships foundered
because of bad cargo stowage.

Perhaps it was result of chaos,
perhaps it was deliberate.

ɴm entitled to believe the latter.

We can�t always guard successfully
against enemy actions, see,

...but we can guard against
being beaten before we start.

In other words : Sabotage.

So, examine your cargos
carefully, gentlemen.

Now, let's see where we're going
and how we get there.

�scort will slip at 09:00 tomorrow, maybe
the submarines sleep outside the harbor.

We'll follow immediately and form up
as soon as we pass through the gate.

�hey will be six corvettes in company...

with Commander Roland
as senior officer of escort.

We'll formulate columns.
Five ships to a column.

�ere is our course.
Here is "Ethel".

We are using family names
for our positions this time.

Now, we may have a little
trouble with "Ethel".

�he U-boats seem to like her.

So, should we leave a little Welsh
and push on?

�hat's better.
You were looking rather grim.

From here we'll keep a steady
course for a day.

�nd if we can maintain
a speed of 9 knots...

we'll be away out of trouble
for a while, at least.

�ncidentally...

� don't want to see any lights
burning after dark.

Watch your galley hatches,
particularly.

�hey have a habit
�f opening at night.

All right.
We are, now, bearing North...

on a course 0-3-5 true,
until we reach our next position...

which is "Mary".
And then, eastward.

�n a 24-hour run...

to a lady named, "Margaret".

Mac, I'm sorry to stand you up this way.
but they say it's important.

� should be back
in the morning, though.

We are sailing
in the morning, Joyce.

- No, you are not.
- We've just got our orders.

� never imagined
it w�uld be like this.

I've got to go, Mac.

I want to stay but I can't.
They need us.

- Ready, Joyce.
- Tell, Paul...

God bless you.

Ships of convoy 94 will weigh anchor

and proceed to the sequence
of numbers and times alloted.

- �i, did you sleep ashore last night?
- Yeah, the old man got...

a touch of humour
after he let me go.

Didn't see my sister, though.
She was out in the canteen all night.

Yeah, I know.

About being duty, we always try to make
some new sub officers of the day...

as long as we can get away with it.
No hard feelings.

��.

� quess we are almost
ready to slip.

�ell me.
What's it really like out there?

Well, it's not so bad, as long as
you keep your sense of humour.

�ou lose that and you go
on the bent quicker than dark.

We are ready to push
Oh, one last piece of advice.

Don't leave anything precious
laying around.

It'll smash in bits when
we start to roll.

�nd for Heaven sake, don't open
that scuttle if it gets stuffy in here.

You'll have the whole
Atlantic in, on it.

- Standby for leaving harbor, sir.
- Thanks.

See you, up top.

Single off your lines.
Ready to slip.

Standby engines.

Standby engines.

Let go forward!

Let go the line.

Let go aft!

All gone, forward.

All gone, aft.

Slow ahead, all the starboard.

Slow ahead, all the starboard.

Keep her steaming, we've got a long,
long way to go. Come on, come on.

Well, that's the last time you'll
be seeing Canada for a while.

- �ake a deep breath, Milton.
- Yeah, it's a great place.

��u know, you never really appreciate it
the things you have to give it up.

�re you OK?
A guy with 28 days leave due?

Hey, when do you think
I'll get some leave?

1952.

We're coming to the sub gate.
�'m gonna take you below, Milton.

First ship.

1-0-3-0.
British.

EGYPTIAN STAR

Ship No2.

United States.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

- Good morning, Anderson.
- Good morning, sir.

- Hello...no thanks.
- Hello, Jack.

We are moving convoy 94
out of harbour now.

- What's your cargo total, Anderson?
- 400 thousand tons, roughly.

��stly planes and tanks. But they're
moving a lot of oil at the same time.

��w many convoys have
we seen sailing out of here?

I've lost track.

I still get a kick out of standing
at this window, watching them go.

I remember the first day
they shipped together for a convoy.

It's been a lot of flags
added since then.

What's the U-boat report, sir?

It isn't good. But the little
fellows will take care of that.

� think you're a corvette
man's heart, sir.

Well, I spent a good many
years at sea.

But you can wrap it all up
in one voyage in a corvette.

Look at them all.

��u know, as I said before.
I like this view.

- Up spirits, up spirits.
- Here comes the pie-eyed cipher.

- Up spirits.
- Get on tradition, boys.

According to regulations we should
have had our rum ration 10 min. ago.

��u and your regulations.
Rum is rum whenever you get it.

�hat reminds me. I thought you
were a teetotaller, Stooky.

So I am. It just that
I've got a bit of a cheer.

- �ble Seaman O'Meara.
- That's it, you'll see in a corvette.

- She rolls from 50 to 50.
- Able Seaman Edwards.

Yeap, you are at sea, champs.
Heaven help you.

- Able Seaman Stevens.
- Catch you sooner or later.

Spirit's coming up.

Able Seaman Smith.

- Able Seaman Long.
- Thank you.

�rdinary Seaman Sheppard.

�rdinary Seaman Rogers.

- What's our course from here?
- 0-9-0.

We' ll hold that
till we reach "Ethel".

�nd we'll alter our course
North East, to "Mary".

�hree subs were reported south
of "�thel", they're moving north.

- When do we reach "Ethel"?
- Tomorrow night.

Hey, what are you doing?

��u toss that stuff overboard and we'll
have every Uboat of the ocean on our tail.

�hey watch for floating garbage.

Go back to your coup.

Well, this is what
we waited so long for, cham.

Remember?

How do you feel?

Don't tell me.
I'm beginning to feel the same thing.

15-2, 15-4.

Some day he'll miss that sack of his
and crack his thick Irish scull.

� don't. How a man can sleep
with all that noise?

�ice and cozy, ain't it?

�he moon's coming out.

We checked the flag out?
Are the men in their stations?

�es, sir.
All correct.

You know, I used to get
romantic about moon.

�ntercept, sir.
Ship torpedoed.

�hat ship got her's
only 20 miles from our position.

�ust have run into "Ethel's" U-boat.
Probably unescorted.

�hose lone ducks
shoot a flip with the angels.
@@@

Senior Officer just flashed, sir.

Wants to sweep on the course 0-2-5
for one hour.

�ll right, hold the course.

-�hat's in the direction of this intercept.
- Yeah.

We've searched the area,
pretty thoroughly.

Object on the water bank,
green 4-5, sir.

�hey look dead, sir.

I guess that's the whole story of
that ship. Dead slow ahead.

Dead slow ahead.

Have some men look into that boat,
when we come alongside.

- Then, we'll return to the convoy.
- Yes, sir.

That's what I meant about keeping
your sense of humour.

These horns are blowing
like it was Mors code.

Sure, they're giving the convoy number
so they're all in station.

��w about, U-boats, hearing them?

�f it was a Heinie close enough to hear,
he wouldn't need a phone horn to guide him.

- Take your soap outside.
- I wish we had some frack down here.

- What for?
-So I couldn't see that ugly mug of yours.

- It's driving me crazy.
- Aah, pipe out.

- �'m sick to the two of you.
- You're sick of what?

Well, 7 days since we passed "Ethel".

Peaceful, as a Sunday afternoon.

�aybe the Germans have stopped fighting.
- How do we know?

- �� radio, no news.
- I doubt if the quit.

West bound convoy 83
�ut of Iceland, was attacked last night.

�hoy!

- �hoy! Who are you?
- The EGYPTIAN STAR.

- �s that you, McLain?
- Yeah, I, captain Smith.

We drop a note.
Engine trouble.

- ��w long to fix it?
- I don't know but we can't keep up.

We'll try to catch you later.

Don't run that little motor boat
of yours in demise now , �cLain.

Keep the salt water out of your eyes.

Good bye!
We are on our own now.

Goes up the gun's crew
and double the lookouts.

What's the matter with you?
That convoy was too crowded, anyway.

- � like them.
- Who?

Guys who sail tankers.
I'm glad they're on our side.

Same here.
Ferguson!

Pick up the Commodore's ship
and give him this message.

Tanker EGYPTIAN STAR is
dropping out, engine trouble,

- ...following alone.
- Yes, sir.

Wait!
Hold it for a moment!

What a stinking night this is.

- Stop that knocking!
I have enough salt in my eyes...

to season the whole Navy.

Well, boys, are you happy
in the service?

�h, yeah!

What's that?

Do they cook of anything
else but beans?

He's got eggs but they'll
beginning to walk.

How can anyone cook on this ship?

Especially when the stores
half-filled with water.

Pound, pound, pound
I'm getting sick of pound.

- �ake it easy.
- Anybody got a pair of dry socks?

- How about what I'm wearing?
- �t's only wishful thinking.

Hey, Stone.
Give me a pair of slippers, will you?

�he next time I meet
Winston Churchill...

� wanna say to him:

��r Churchill, does Britain need
bundles this bad?

��.

It's a depth charge broken loose.

- Right here.
- Feels like it was done for.

�etter go below, sir.
We'll handle this.

Check all the other lacing, O'Meara.

Steward, do you have to keep playing
that record over and over again?

- �h, no, sir...
- Well, turn it off!

�'ve heard that same number for days.
I'm fed up with it.

�es, sir.

Where have you been, Cartwright?
The ASDIC set broke down.

- I was busy, sir.
- We got along without you.

- �ny buns, steward?
- No, sir, all out.

- Coffee?
- It's a bit purple, sir.

- We got oil in the water.
- Well, get us something.

�es, sir.

What's the matter, Cartwright?
You got the jitters?

- �hat record gets on my nerves.
- I wouldn't let it.

We don't get the jitters here.

Down, below the water line
are engineers and stokers.

When action comes,
they stay there.

�nd aboard the corvette, we give them
the exclusive right to be nervous.

Yes, sir, only I wish
something would happen.

Why, it's strange when we
are zigzagging all over the ocean...

and keep out of trouble.

We are protecting 40 ships,
remember, and they're important.

Yes, I remember, I've been
looking at them for days.

�ren't you hammering him
a bit hard, sir?

- What do you mean?
- That boy.

- �e's already doing a good job.
- �e's improving.

��w about one handy cribbage?

��u are a bit hard on
sub-lieutenants.

Young Sub Rawlins, had this morning.

He's one of the best Subs
we have in the Navy.

�e's all right.
How about this game?...cut.

Cartwright is not always wrong, either.

�e's been right quite a few times.

The first day he came aboard
he pulled a puppy out of the drink.

� kinda liked that.
And he stands watch with me.

� can walk off the bridge
and leave him alone...

he'll be able to take charge of the ship.
-You suggest in staying watch by himself?

Not yet, maybe, but he's learning
faster than most other men.

�'ll decide about that.

Certainly, sir.
�ut if you required me...

I'm your First Lieutenant and I give
them the benefit of doubt, sometime.

��u can break some men
your way, but you can't make...

Pardon me, sir.
Is Mr Cartwright here?

- ��, he is not.
- I'll try in his cabin.

�hat's a nasty knock
on the head he got, sir.

�'�eara?

- What happened?
- One of the depth charges broke loose.

Mr Cartwright tried to get it back
in the case and cracked...

his head against the bulkhead.
Pretty nasty business, sir.

- �re you all right, son?
- Quite all right, O'Meara.

- Just a bit dizzy.
- Why didn't you tell me...

about cracking your head
on the depth charge?

- �re you hurt?
- No, sir.

- Let me see your head.
- It's only a bump.

Why are you in here?

- �'m off watch.
- You're never off watch in this ship.

We fixed the ASDIC, but how do
we know it won't break down again?

- ��u should be checking on it.
- Any more orders, sir?

- You want any more?
- ��u give them and I'll take them.

Fine, after you check the ASDIC, see that
all depth charges are laced properly...

and they won't be running around
the decks, giving you a headache.

Give me a hand.
This man is knocked out.

We're closimg in that freighter.
Dead ahead.

We are out of control.

- Are you all right, sir?
- Yeah, look after Evans.

- What's the matter with him?
- It's his neck, I'm afraid he's dead.

Get him below, hurry up!

Watch your steering and
keep ahead to the sea.

O'Meara, get some hands and
board up those windows.

Get some canvas on the bridge.

Put some extra lacings
on the rail.

Well, we lost the convoy.

We not the only ones
scattered in this weather.

� wonder how my feet look like.
I haven't seen them for days.

Sitting and talking about your feet,
well, that boy hasn't....

�ake it easy.
�hose are pretty wet.

- Try one of those.
- Sorry...thanks.

�he old man did a fine job up there.

� couple seconds more and there
wouldn't be any DONNACONA.

�eah, that's right.

- How do you get along with him?
- Fine, the same as the rest of us.

- Yes, excluding me.
- If you don't like it,

-...why don't you get a transfer?
- �e doesn't like me.

Look, you went through
training school, didn't you?

��u think your divisional officer
was in love with you?

��w, at the base gun battery,
do you expect the Gunner's mate...

to come up and kiss you
everytime you drop the shell?

��, but in training they didn't follow
you into your cabin to bawl you out.

Look, did you even happen to think
that it might be you?

Stop saluting yourself in front
of a mirror all the time.

Do I do that?

When I first joined the corvette
I was scared to death of the old man.

� was continually on the defensive.
Then I took my head up.

�r Cartwright, the captain wants
to see you in his cabin, sir.

- �ry it.
- Thanks.

Steward, I'd like a ham sandwich and
a cup of coffee, mustard on the ham.

- So would I, sir.
- What?

� like a ham sandwich.
Only we've run out of bread.

Even if we had bread
we haven't got any ham.

�nd, sir, the coffee is now
royal purple.

- I wouldn't recommend that, sir.
- � was just fooling.

- Bring up the big beans.
- �es, sir.

We'll maintain this course till dawn.
See if we can pick up...

-...any of the convoy.
- �es, sir.

��u wished to see me, sir?

Have the coxswain arrange
the funeral party for Evans.

�es, sir. Can we take up
a collection for his family?

- Certainly. How is that head of yours?
- Fine.

I quess my scull is too thick
for a depth charge to crack.

��u play cribbage?

- ��, sir.
- �'m sick of beating the 1st Lieutenant.

Yes, sir.

We therefore commit
his body to the deep.

Looking for the general Resurrection
in the last day...

and the life of the world to come
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

�t whose second coming in glorious
majesty to judge the world

the sea shall give up her dead.

and the corruptible bodies those
who sleep in him, shall be changed.

and made like unto
his glorious body

according to the mighty working whereby
he is able to subdue...

...all things unto himself.

�, now, commend thee to the deep.
Amen.

Ship's Company!
Hoh!

Firing party...fire!

Ship's company!
On caps.

Ship's company!
Turn forward...dismissed.

Merchant vessels,
bearing Green 4-0.

- Look like big ones.
- Where are you steering?

- 0-7-0.
- Steer 0-9-5, put �n 170 reps.

Steer 0-9-5, 170 reps.

Well, we won't go empty-handed.
Looks like we caught ourselves a convoy.

What's our position?

About 300 miles
off the coast of Ireland.

Looks like clear sailing.

Sir?
Another tanker coming up.

�t's the EGYPTIAN STAR, sir. He says:
"Hello McLain, fancy meeting you here".

�ake a signal. Tell him that we turn
left at the next corner for England.

- �nd no, I haven't got a cigarette.
- Yes, sir.

...cigarette.

Sir...

Flash a message
to the DONNACONA.

�ell them that we've been shadowed by
Uboats since we dropped out of the convoy.

�hat's all.

We'll take our position on
the starboard side of the other ships.

Yes, sir.

Starboard, 30.

We'll zig zag ahead of them.
1000 yards all.

- � happy sight to see those ships.
- That it is.

From the EGYPTIAN STAR, sir.

�he EGYPTIAN STAR thinks
she's been followed by subs.

- Keep a sharp lookout, watch the ASDIC.
- Yes, sir.

Kind of quite in here.

We ought to make port
the day after tomorrow.

Cigarette?

- ��w is young Stone?
- He's alright.

�e's thinking of his land
�n Saskatchewan.

�hat oil is getting worse everyday.

� was at a quarter section.

Saving up for a half section
after the war.

- What are you gonna do?
- Are you blind?

�s long as is Majesty's Navy,
O'Meara will be in it.

- How about you?
- Who, me?

�e will be in it, too.
He got married.

��u're always safer at sea
from the wives.

Can you make them out?

�t's Jerries.

- Bring AA stations.
- Yes, sir.

Open fire.

- Seize fire.
- Seize fire!

�ft gun, aft gun.

Seize fire...seize fire!

Look at them scatter.

�he other one is making
a run for it.

Hello, "Mother".
Hello, "Mother".

� wonder if that chap has got
enough gas to reach land.

Sir, wireless cabin calling.

W.T....W.T.

Captain, sir. Fighter pilot is calling
his mother ship. I'll plug you in, sir.

�ello D for Danny
We can hear you.

Hello, Mother, this is your baby.

I'm going at the other one,
I think is heading for Berlin.

��u won't make land, bail out.
We'll try to pick you up.

�e's getting away from him.
Sorry, I have to go now.

Good luck...hubby.

One of those Heinies may have contacted
the U-boats and given our position.

They don't waste much time, do they?

Signal from the Dock Yard officer.

�he repair crew will be ready
and waiting for us.

- Good...slow ahead.
- Slow ahead.

�ell the merchant ships to proceed
independently and take anchorage.

Yes, sir.

to pass up alongside them, sir.

- What for?
- I gather they want to salute us, sir.

�ll right...Williams!

- Pipe pans to harbor stations.
- Aye aye, sir.

plenty of others.
