Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,748
Come in.
2
00:02:02,822 --> 00:02:05,985
- You sent for me, sir?
- Oh, yes, yes.
3
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:09,426
I've got to get over to the secretary's
office with these project reports, Tom.
4
00:02:09,496 --> 00:02:12,863
Say, what is that one?
What is that?
5
00:02:12,932 --> 00:02:15,059
That's the high-speed steam engine
for the sub chaser.
6
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:18,662
- I can read that.
- Yes, sir. The one will
make 'em 10 knots faster.
7
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:21,536
Ten knots? Te-
Oh, yes.
8
00:02:21,608 --> 00:02:25,237
It wasn't, uh, speed that was the problem,
it was how to get enough water.
9
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:28,191
Yes. They developed a condenser
they think will take care of the problem.
10
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:30,546
- Well?
- Hmm? Oh.
11
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:33,211
Well, I've got a sub chaser, sir.
The PC-1168.
12
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:36,332
We pulled her engines and put in the
experimental job. We already have a crew-
13
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:40,190
Didn't I get a full report
on all that a week ago?
14
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:44,128
Yes, sir. I-I've been trying
to get a commanding officer for her.
15
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:46,529
What? For a P.C.?
Well, what's holding it up?
16
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,535
It's pretty tricky machinery.
I wanted a line officer with
some engineering experience.
17
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:54,471
Oh, yes. I'd like to get a line officer
with some experience too!
18
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,566
Who wouldn't?
It would be an easier war!
19
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,737
I know your problem, but the secretary
of the navy is interested in this.
20
00:02:59,812 --> 00:03:04,647
So am I. Get a skipper aboard that P.C. If you
get one with engineering experience, fine.
21
00:03:04,717 --> 00:03:07,845
If you can't-
Well, get a skipper. Now. Right now.
22
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:14,783
Uh, you better get down to Norfolk
and follow through on this, Tom.
23
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:16,852
Yes, sir.
24
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:19,922
Personnel.
25
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:36,341
Pretty slim pickings.
26
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:38,475
- Here. We'll have to try this one.
- Yes, sir.
27
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:31,870
Well, I guess this is it, Ellie.
28
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,338
- I wish you wouldn't-
- No tears this time.
29
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:37,968
- No?
- Uh-uh. I cried when you got your orders.
30
00:04:38,044 --> 00:04:41,070
I practically flooded the station
when they sent you to New London.
31
00:04:41,147 --> 00:04:44,708
And it was a bit damp when you got
transferred back to Washington.
32
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,809
I'm about cried out.
33
00:04:46,886 --> 00:04:51,482
So, now that I get sea duty, what are you
gonna do? Salute and walk away?
34
00:04:52,725 --> 00:04:55,091
Hardly.
35
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:58,887
I'm a little worried,
though, Johnny.
36
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:01,058
- Well, that's a help.
- No, really.
37
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:04,570
A man your age on one of
those little boats that-
38
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:06,662
- Ships.
- All right, ships.
39
00:05:06,739 --> 00:05:10,698
And what's this about my age?
You sound as if I was 110.
40
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:13,007
I got through my indoctrination
all right, didn't I?
41
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,411
Three months in
a converted gymnasium.
42
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:17,826
You don't know any more about ships
than the man in the moon.
43
00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:19,943
Well, let me worry about that.
44
00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:23,352
- But there is something
I wish you would do, though.
- What?
45
00:05:23,423 --> 00:05:25,891
Is there any way of you
getting out of the waves?
46
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:28,893
- Getting out? I just got in.
- I know you did.
47
00:05:28,961 --> 00:05:34,092
But if I'm gonna be on a ship for months,
surrounded with nothing but uniforms, y-you-
48
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:38,103
Well, you like to think of your wife
in something a little-You know.
49
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,072
Johnny, after seven years.
50
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:44,303
Yes, after seven years.
51
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:47,540
I don't like you working
around that recruiting station either.
52
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:49,604
All those sailors.
53
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:51,673
Sailors? Me?
54
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,878
Johnny, you're jealous.
55
00:05:55,955 --> 00:06:00,221
Well, why shouldn't I be?
56
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:06,190
Johnny, that's the nicest thing
you ever said to me.
57
00:07:02,789 --> 00:07:07,988
- I'm looking for the PC-1168.
- You gotta have orders
to get on this dock, sir.
58
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:10,654
Well, all I have is a telegram,
extract order.
59
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,561
That'll be okay, sir.
60
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:21,135
Find your ship
right down there, sir.
61
00:08:07,286 --> 00:08:11,052
All right, all right.
Let's break it up.!
62
00:08:11,123 --> 00:08:16,356
Never mind tryin' to save water.
We got a whole ocean full. Now, get movin'!
63
00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:25,460
Now we're gettin'
some real navy.
64
00:08:31,143 --> 00:08:34,579
- Good morning.
- Lieutenant Harkness
reporting aboard, Boatswain.
65
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:37,275
Yes, sir. The deck officer
is in the ward room, sir.
66
00:08:39,785 --> 00:08:42,276
Houlihan, get all
the Lieutenant's gear.
67
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,153
I'll have it stowed in your quarters, sir.
Right this way.
68
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:51,957
Your quarters, sir.
69
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:06,403
- What was you doin'? Brushin' away flies?
- Huh?
70
00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:09,915
The salute! The salute!
You look like you had a busted arm!
71
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:14,646
- And that blouse!
- They told me I'd grow into it.
What do you want from me?
72
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:22,527
- When contact is made with a sub-Huh?
- Uh-huh.
73
00:09:22,595 --> 00:09:26,998
Change course immediately
to head directly for the sound contact.
74
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:30,126
Look, we been all over that.
75
00:09:30,202 --> 00:09:33,933
Can't you find something in there
about what to do when this thing blows up?
76
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:35,997
One of you gentlemen the exec?
77
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:39,169
- I'm the executive officer, sir.
- Lieutenant Harkness, reporting for duty.
78
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:45,681
L- I, uh, have a telegram
with an extract order.
79
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:48,720
Happy to see you aboard, Captain.
Barron's the name, sir. Bill Barron.
80
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:51,518
- Base operation said you'd
be aboard to take command.
- Take command?
81
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:54,116
- This is Mr. Barbo, your engineering officer.
- Hello.
82
00:09:54,193 --> 00:09:56,718
- And, uh, Mr. Dorrance, supply officer.
- How are you, Captain?
83
00:09:56,796 --> 00:09:58,821
- Only fair.
- Sir?
84
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:00,889
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Nice to know you.
85
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:03,060
- Your first command sir?
- Y-Yes. First command.
86
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:05,914
If you like, sir, I'll show you to your
quarters. Your orders are there, sir.
87
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:08,805
- Orders?
- Well, you just said you had
the telegraphic excerpt.
88
00:10:08,874 --> 00:10:10,933
Right down this passageway, sir.
89
00:10:12,578 --> 00:10:15,342
Your quarter's here, sir.
90
00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:18,076
I, uh-I left the orders
right on the desk there.
91
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:21,085
W-We're sort of anxious
to find what this is all about.
92
00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:23,178
- So am I.
- Sir?
93
00:10:23,255 --> 00:10:27,021
I said, um-I said, "Thanks."
94
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:30,927
- Thank you very much.
- Oh, yes, sir.
95
00:11:13,205 --> 00:11:17,039
Yeah? Ye-Come in.
96
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:20,570
Your gear, sir.
I brung it myself...
97
00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:23,114
so's one of them jerks
wouldn't lose it.
98
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:25,616
- Thanks. Thanks, Boatswain.
- Name's Larrabee, sir.
99
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:29,143
- May I welcome you to the ship, sir?
- Well, thank you, Larrabee.
100
00:11:29,221 --> 00:11:32,122
Uh, it seems like a nice ship.
101
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:36,389
- You never been on one
of these, have you, Captain?
- Why, no. No, I haven't.
102
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:39,488
I knew it. The minute I see ya
come down that gangplank, I knew it.
103
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,797
I suppose it was pretty obvious.
104
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:47,635
I never been on one, neither-18 years
in and nothin' smaller than a cruiser.
105
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,835
They took me off the Roanoke
to put me on this.
106
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:53,276
- Mm.
- You ever been on the Roanoke, sir?
107
00:11:53,345 --> 00:11:56,143
- N-No. No, I haven't.
- A fine ship.
108
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:58,843
I thought we might have some
mutual acquaintances, sir.
109
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,578
Just between you and me, sir...
110
00:12:02,655 --> 00:12:04,646
I don't think you're gonna like this.
111
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,954
Wait'll you see that thing
in the engine room.
112
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:09,256
Yeah?
113
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:17,362
I was gonna put in
for a transfer myself.
114
00:12:17,436 --> 00:12:20,837
Now, don't get me wrong. It ain't I gotta
split quarters with the chief engineer...
115
00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:23,306
or we got no regular
chief's mess, or nothin'.
116
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:25,776
With a war on, us regulars
gotta take what comes.
117
00:12:25,909 --> 00:12:31,211
- But with a crew like this!
- Well, haven't they got any experience?
118
00:12:31,281 --> 00:12:34,648
Experience? They're all civilians,
the whole gang of'em.
119
00:12:34,718 --> 00:12:38,017
I know you noticed it when you came
aboard, sir, but that ain't the half of it.
120
00:12:38,088 --> 00:12:42,821
A stupider lot of misfits,
untrained soda jerks, I never did see.
121
00:12:42,893 --> 00:12:44,884
And I'm supposed to train 'em.
122
00:12:44,961 --> 00:12:47,191
And that ain't all.
123
00:12:47,264 --> 00:12:49,255
- More?
- More.
124
00:12:50,767 --> 00:12:53,463
Beggin' your pardon, sir,
but your officers-
125
00:12:53,537 --> 00:12:55,630
All 90-day wonders.
126
00:12:55,705 --> 00:12:58,674
- Oh, no.
- Yup.
127
00:12:58,742 --> 00:13:01,540
College kids. An advertising guy.
128
00:13:01,611 --> 00:13:04,512
There ain't none of them got more
than two or three months experience.
129
00:13:04,581 --> 00:13:08,517
- Well, they all seem to be pretty eager.
- Oh, they're eager all right.
130
00:13:08,585 --> 00:13:14,182
That... exec officer. He likes to drive me
nuts with his practice drills all week.
131
00:13:14,257 --> 00:13:18,250
Well, I suppose that's what
you've got to put up with with a war.
132
00:13:18,328 --> 00:13:23,095
Like I said, I was gonna put in for a
transfer, but I never let the navy down yet.
133
00:13:23,166 --> 00:13:26,932
- Well, look, uh, I wouldn't
tear up that transfer.
- Sir?
134
00:13:27,003 --> 00:13:30,097
Not until we clear up
a little misunderstanding.
135
00:13:30,173 --> 00:13:33,040
You see, I'm not regular navy.
136
00:13:34,611 --> 00:13:37,774
Just another 90-day wonder.
137
00:13:40,617 --> 00:13:45,179
- But-
- That? Annapolis?
138
00:13:45,255 --> 00:13:48,452
Uh-uh. Rutgers,
an engineering school.
139
00:13:48,525 --> 00:13:51,119
And to date, I haven't
had any sea duty.
140
00:13:51,194 --> 00:13:53,958
But, they-They can't do that!
141
00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:56,464
Can I get you an aspirin?
142
00:13:56,533 --> 00:13:59,593
No, sir.
143
00:13:59,669 --> 00:14:02,365
- Have I the captain's
permission to leave, sir?
- No.
144
00:14:02,439 --> 00:14:06,899
Now, look. There's no sense
in gettin' started off this way, Larrabee.
145
00:14:06,977 --> 00:14:10,606
- I'm gonna have to have
a lot of help, and l-
146
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,047
This door, sir.
147
00:14:14,117 --> 00:14:17,712
Uh, there's an officer on the dock, sir.
He wants to see the captain.
148
00:14:24,027 --> 00:14:27,895
- Are you the captain of this ship?
- Why-
149
00:14:27,964 --> 00:14:29,989
- Well, are you or aren't you?
- Yes, sir.
150
00:14:30,066 --> 00:14:34,230
Get it out of here. I've had a ship
standing by for an hour for this berth.
151
00:14:34,304 --> 00:14:38,741
Sir, I'm under orders not to move this ship
until instructed by the port commander.
152
00:14:38,808 --> 00:14:41,971
I'm the port commander,
and I'm ordering you to move this ship.
153
00:14:42,045 --> 00:14:44,479
Yes, sir.
154
00:14:47,417 --> 00:14:49,578
How long will it take
to be ready, Boatswain?
155
00:14:49,653 --> 00:14:52,781
Well, if you're asking, Captain,
I'd say about six months.
156
00:14:54,357 --> 00:14:58,293
But I'm not asking.
I'm tellin' you!
157
00:14:58,361 --> 00:15:00,454
- You the watch officer, mister?
- Yes, sir.
158
00:15:00,530 --> 00:15:03,829
Then, stand by to cast off. And send
the executive officer to the bridge.
159
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,925
Yes, sir.
160
00:15:06,002 --> 00:15:07,993
But, sir, we can't just
take off without any-
161
00:15:08,071 --> 00:15:10,096
You heard the order.
We're getting underway.
162
00:15:10,173 --> 00:15:12,471
And if you're nervous about it...
163
00:15:12,542 --> 00:15:16,376
you have my permission to conduct
abandon ship drill immediately after we do.
164
00:15:16,446 --> 00:15:18,505
Yes, sir.
165
00:16:09,833 --> 00:16:12,927
Man, I'm tellin' you. The way he chewed out
that boatswain was a work of art.
166
00:16:13,003 --> 00:16:18,600
- Oh, he's real crusty.
- Yeah. He oughta love the way
you guys run this ship.
167
00:16:18,675 --> 00:16:21,620
- Don't you think we oughta
tell him we're a little green?
- No, no, no, no.
168
00:16:21,644 --> 00:16:25,205
- But I'm not a very good sailor.
- Look, if you tell him,
will it make you feel better?
169
00:16:25,281 --> 00:16:28,717
Let him find out for himself.
170
00:16:28,785 --> 00:16:31,549
Relax. You know where
Pinto Dock is?
171
00:16:31,621 --> 00:16:33,885
Pinto, uh-
Yes, right across the bay, sir.
172
00:16:33,957 --> 00:16:35,948
- Fine, that's where we're going.
- Aye, aye, sir.
173
00:16:36,026 --> 00:16:38,051
On the bridge, there.!
174
00:16:38,128 --> 00:16:40,858
- Can you get us out of here?
- Oh, I haven't had much experience.
175
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:43,455
- They can't shoot me for tryin'.
- Captain.!
176
00:16:43,533 --> 00:16:45,899
- Don't be too sure.
- Captain.!
177
00:16:45,969 --> 00:16:49,370
- Yes, sir.
- You've had 10 minutes, Captain.
178
00:16:49,439 --> 00:16:53,603
Are you gonna move this ship outta here,
or am I gonna have to do it for you?
179
00:16:53,676 --> 00:16:56,645
Moving out immediately, sir!
180
00:16:58,281 --> 00:17:00,772
Sta-
Stand by to cast off!
181
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:03,751
Yes, sir.
182
00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:06,653
Set to special sea detail!
183
00:17:09,192 --> 00:17:12,821
Get on 'em lines!
184
00:17:16,666 --> 00:17:22,565
Cast off the stern line!
185
00:17:22,639 --> 00:17:25,233
Cast off the bowline!
186
00:17:25,308 --> 00:17:27,902
Cast off the bowline.!
187
00:17:29,913 --> 00:17:34,111
Cast off number two line!
188
00:17:34,184 --> 00:17:37,017
Cast off number two line!
189
00:17:37,087 --> 00:17:39,078
Go on. Come on.
190
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,786
- Starboard engine, one-third ahead.
- Yes, sir.
191
00:17:59,008 --> 00:18:01,476
Hey, mister, give me one blast
on the ship's whistle.
192
00:18:13,389 --> 00:18:15,869
- Get us out of here, quick.
- The engine won't turn over, sir.
193
00:18:15,925 --> 00:18:19,053
- W-Well, find out why-
- Well?
194
00:18:19,129 --> 00:18:22,064
Uh, the engine, sir.
It won't turn over.
195
00:18:22,132 --> 00:18:24,362
- Why not, mister?
- Why, uh-
196
00:18:24,434 --> 00:18:28,632
- Find out! Fast!
- Yes, sir.
197
00:18:31,141 --> 00:18:35,373
What? Yeah, yeah. I heard you.
198
00:18:35,445 --> 00:18:41,077
Well, the captain's coming down himself.
Maybe he can make some sense
out of this monster.
199
00:18:46,923 --> 00:18:50,154
- What's happening here?
We've got to get moving.
- I wish I knew.
200
00:18:50,226 --> 00:18:53,024
- Are you the chief?
- Yes, sir. Ryan, sir.
201
00:18:53,096 --> 00:18:55,360
- What seems to be the trouble?
- You mean now, sir?
202
00:18:55,431 --> 00:18:57,592
- Certainly, I mean now.
- Engines won't spin, sir.
203
00:18:57,667 --> 00:19:00,431
They won't do anything
except make that racket.
204
00:19:00,503 --> 00:19:04,530
- What's your pressure?
- 550, sir. Boiler temperature, 1400.
205
00:19:04,607 --> 00:19:07,667
Throttle cracked to one-third ahead.
Nothin' happens, sir.
206
00:19:07,744 --> 00:19:09,769
- Why not?
- I wouldn't know, sir.
207
00:19:09,846 --> 00:19:11,924
- What do you mean?
You're the chief, aren't you?
- Yes, sir.
208
00:19:11,948 --> 00:19:14,212
Sixteen years, sir.
All in diesel.
209
00:19:14,284 --> 00:19:16,996
- This is steam. I ain't seen
a steam engine since-
- I know this is steam!
210
00:19:17,020 --> 00:19:19,181
There's nothing very complicated
about a steam engine.
211
00:19:19,255 --> 00:19:21,621
No, sir.
But this one ain't human.
212
00:19:26,930 --> 00:19:29,524
Boiler.
213
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:31,590
Superheater.
214
00:19:33,670 --> 00:19:36,764
- There's your main steam line
coming out there.
- Yes, sir.
215
00:19:38,341 --> 00:19:41,799
Over there. Through there,
and into those turbines.
216
00:19:41,878 --> 00:19:44,210
- What's this?
- Bypass valve, sir.
217
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,874
The manual says it must be open
when the boiler is fired.
218
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:49,817
That's a safety factor,
Captain. The book says-
219
00:19:49,886 --> 00:19:53,413
You should have read further.
You've got your steam goin'
around in circles doing nothing!
220
00:19:53,489 --> 00:19:55,480
Skipper, the safety factor!
That's live steam!
221
00:19:55,558 --> 00:19:57,549
We've gotta
get this ship outta here!
222
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:23,742
Good-Cu-
To the left! Left! More!
223
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:33,424
Hey! No!
224
00:20:33,496 --> 00:20:36,192
Over to starboard!
To starboard!
225
00:21:01,291 --> 00:21:05,057
This is stupid! You could just as easy
tie them together.
226
00:21:05,128 --> 00:21:07,153
- That ain't the navy way.
- The navy way.
227
00:21:07,230 --> 00:21:09,562
That's all that boatswain
thinks of is the navy way.
228
00:21:09,632 --> 00:21:12,863
Right after we run into that flattop
wasn't the time to get smart with him.
229
00:21:12,935 --> 00:21:15,199
Ah, so we busted a couple of plates.
So what?
230
00:21:15,271 --> 00:21:17,296
It's like dentin' a fender, ain't it?
231
00:21:17,373 --> 00:21:20,865
Hey.! Hey.! You crazy swabbie.!
What are you tryin'to do?
232
00:21:20,943 --> 00:21:22,968
- No wonder your-
- So what?
233
00:21:23,046 --> 00:21:25,037
What are you tryin' to do?
Set fire to the ship?
234
00:21:25,114 --> 00:21:27,309
Yeah. And what do you care?
You ain't on it!
235
00:21:27,383 --> 00:21:30,819
You throw anymore cigarette butts
over the side, I'll tear you apart.
236
00:21:30,887 --> 00:21:34,880
- You and who else, you schlub?
- Knock that off!
237
00:21:34,957 --> 00:21:37,425
- Get back to work, sailors.
- Yes, sir.
238
00:21:48,071 --> 00:21:50,062
Now what are we gettin'?
An admiral?
239
00:21:50,139 --> 00:21:52,369
He's a commander.
Can't you see the three stripes?
240
00:21:52,442 --> 00:21:55,275
Who counts?
241
00:21:56,979 --> 00:21:59,607
Here's a report on
damage to the carrier.
242
00:21:59,682 --> 00:22:02,742
- What about backing into the dock?
- I have it, Skipper.
243
00:22:04,921 --> 00:22:06,912
Hey, Chuck.
This oughta interest you.
244
00:22:06,989 --> 00:22:09,287
The navy medics are working
on a cure for seasickness.
245
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,193
- Yeah? W-What do they say?
- Nothin'. They're just workin'.
246
00:22:13,262 --> 00:22:16,095
This keeps up,
I'll be lookin' for a cure myself.
247
00:22:16,165 --> 00:22:20,033
- Well, you can always call the auto club.
- Very funny.
248
00:22:20,103 --> 00:22:24,301
Particularly as I'm liable to be
spending the rest of my life in
the navy paying for this thing.
249
00:22:24,374 --> 00:22:28,105
- Hey, maybe we'll all get relieved.
- I doubt it.
250
00:22:30,513 --> 00:22:32,811
I'd just like to know
who the idiot was...
251
00:22:32,882 --> 00:22:35,043
who made up the complement
of this ship.
252
00:22:35,118 --> 00:22:38,884
I'm one of the idiots
who had something to do with it.
253
00:22:38,955 --> 00:22:41,947
- What were you going to say, mister?
- Nothing, sir. Nothing.
254
00:22:42,024 --> 00:22:45,619
You seemed pretty sure of yourself a minute
ago. You had something on your mind.
255
00:22:45,695 --> 00:22:50,132
Well, sir, I've had no
practical experience in seamanship.
256
00:22:50,199 --> 00:22:53,396
- Nor have my other officers.
- From what I hear, that's pretty obvious.
257
00:22:53,469 --> 00:22:55,547
- Yes, sir. But to assign-
- You're officers, aren't you?
258
00:22:55,571 --> 00:22:57,596
You've been through
indoctrination programs.
259
00:22:57,673 --> 00:23:00,506
- Yes, sir.
- You all have a college education.
260
00:23:00,576 --> 00:23:03,170
Well, the navy's given you stripes
and expects you to use them.
261
00:23:03,246 --> 00:23:05,691
Your men are green, train 'em.
You don't know something, find out.
262
00:23:05,715 --> 00:23:07,740
- Yes, sir.
- Trained men are scarce these days.
263
00:23:07,817 --> 00:23:11,480
If they weren't,
it'd be an easier war.
264
00:23:11,554 --> 00:23:14,114
- Now, is there anything else?
- No, sir.
265
00:23:14,190 --> 00:23:17,182
All right, then.
Let's get down to cases.
266
00:23:29,705 --> 00:23:33,038
Now, you've already been informed
that this vessel is a secret project.
267
00:23:33,109 --> 00:23:36,510
Here's the reason why. These are
the working plans of this experiment.
268
00:23:36,579 --> 00:23:38,979
You no doubt noticed
that your engines were a little unusual.
269
00:23:39,048 --> 00:23:41,346
We sure did, uh, sir.
270
00:23:41,417 --> 00:23:43,442
In case you haven't noticed...
271
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:47,353
the engine installed in this ship
is high-pressure, superheated steam.
272
00:23:47,423 --> 00:23:50,736
It's not only an economical engine, but with
it, the naval architects expect this...
273
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,854
to be faster and more maneuverable
than any sub chaser afloat.
274
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:57,058
- Hey, that's terrific!
- What's terrific, mister?
275
00:23:57,133 --> 00:23:59,829
Well, I mean,
inventing a steam engine for this thing.
276
00:23:59,902 --> 00:24:05,397
Mister, for your information,
the steam engine was invented
in 1765 by Mr. James Watt.
277
00:24:05,475 --> 00:24:08,587
With the exception that
we superheat the steam and
use triple-distilled water...
278
00:24:08,611 --> 00:24:10,636
this is no different
from any other steam engine.
279
00:24:10,713 --> 00:24:13,307
I imagine that Mr. Barron
was talking about the speed, sir.
280
00:24:13,382 --> 00:24:15,509
- May I ask a question?
- Well?
281
00:24:15,585 --> 00:24:18,884
Can a ship of this size
carry enough water to go anyplace?
282
00:24:18,955 --> 00:24:20,980
- No, it can't.
- Good.
283
00:24:21,057 --> 00:24:23,389
Well, I mean,
it seems kind of silly-
284
00:24:23,459 --> 00:24:25,804
Mister, if it was silly,
the navy wouldn't be interested in it.
285
00:24:25,828 --> 00:24:28,160
Water happens to be
the key to this problem.
286
00:24:28,231 --> 00:24:32,167
- You better start learning now,
every drop of it's precious.
- Yes, sir.
287
00:24:32,235 --> 00:24:35,727
Ship this size couldn't carry enough
water to run a half a day at speed.
288
00:24:35,805 --> 00:24:38,774
That's why the naval architects
came up with this.
289
00:24:38,841 --> 00:24:41,366
Now, it's a combined
evaporator-condenser unit.
290
00:24:41,444 --> 00:24:44,504
It takes in the seawater,
evaporates the salt out, distills it...
291
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:47,148
and replaces it as fast
as it's lost in operation.
292
00:24:47,281 --> 00:24:50,580
Except for fuel,
this is a self-sustaining unit.
293
00:24:50,651 --> 00:24:54,417
- Well, that sounds as simple
as rollin' off a log!
- Well, it's not, mister.
294
00:24:54,488 --> 00:24:57,218
For your information, the secretary
of the navy's interested in this.
295
00:24:57,291 --> 00:24:59,759
Admiral Tennant's interested,
and I'm interested in it.
296
00:24:59,827 --> 00:25:03,593
That's the reason why this ship
will start trial runs the minute
she's out of dry dock.
297
00:25:03,664 --> 00:25:07,623
- We're behind schedule now.
- Yes, sir. When will you take over, sir?
298
00:25:07,701 --> 00:25:11,034
Me? Command this? We-
299
00:25:11,105 --> 00:25:14,597
Mister, the navy's interested in
several thousand projects beside this one.
300
00:25:14,675 --> 00:25:17,803
- Anyway, you were particularly selected for it.
- Me, sir?
301
00:25:17,878 --> 00:25:21,491
- Well, you hold an engineering
degree from Rutgers, don't you?
- Yes, sir, in hydroelectric-
302
00:25:21,515 --> 00:25:23,710
That's how you got your rank.
You better use it.
303
00:25:23,784 --> 00:25:26,048
But, sir, I got out of Rutgers
18 years ago.
304
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:29,419
In the meantime, you've completely forgotten
about the operation of steam engines?
305
00:25:29,490 --> 00:25:32,202
- No, sir. I haven't.
- Well, then, you won't have
any trouble with this.
306
00:25:32,226 --> 00:25:35,889
- I knew it. I knew it all the time.
- You knew what?
307
00:25:35,963 --> 00:25:40,662
Well, sir, it is confined steam we're
working with. That's like liquid gunpowder.
308
00:25:40,734 --> 00:25:44,636
Uh-huh. But in case you
hadn't heard, mister, there is a war on.
309
00:25:44,705 --> 00:25:48,664
Steam is dangerous, so is gunpowder.
But not if you handle it correctly.
310
00:25:48,742 --> 00:25:52,610
If you're that worried about it, you better
pay attention while we go through this.
311
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,773
But, sir, I haven't got
an engineering degree.
312
00:25:54,848 --> 00:25:56,873
Then you better pay
very close attention.
313
00:26:30,618 --> 00:26:32,779
Everything's
secured on deck, sir.
314
00:26:32,853 --> 00:26:34,844
Well, cut her loose!
315
00:26:34,922 --> 00:26:38,414
Check! Full speed ahead.
316
00:26:41,929 --> 00:26:44,193
Give her everything you got.
317
00:26:44,265 --> 00:26:47,166
All right. Okay,
it's your funeral.
318
00:26:47,234 --> 00:26:49,293
Open 'em up.
319
00:27:25,239 --> 00:27:29,005
She's cuttin' through this
like a bread knife!
320
00:27:29,076 --> 00:27:32,568
- You really think it's going to work?
- Are you kidding, Skipper?
321
00:27:32,646 --> 00:27:35,240
This is the most ter-
322
00:27:35,316 --> 00:27:39,047
- What's the matter with you?
- They say it affects the inner ear.
323
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,587
A sense of balance or something.
324
00:27:43,090 --> 00:27:46,890
We're doing 32 knots, sir.
325
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,054
Are we on land or water?
326
00:27:52,199 --> 00:27:54,690
Hey, I hear something.
327
00:27:54,768 --> 00:27:56,759
What?
328
00:27:56,837 --> 00:27:59,271
- Don't you hear something funny?
- Funny?
329
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:01,433
Sounds hysterical to me.
330
00:28:05,212 --> 00:28:09,148
- Little swell, huh?
- Four hours out, and you're an old salt.
331
00:28:09,216 --> 00:28:11,241
- What are you eating?
- Salami. It's good.
332
00:28:11,318 --> 00:28:14,719
- Salami? Don't let Mr. Dorrance see you.
- Ah, he's crazy.
333
00:28:14,788 --> 00:28:16,881
That seasick stuff
is all in your head.
334
00:28:16,957 --> 00:28:22,327
Hey, skipper! The pressure's gone down
and the heat's gone up!
335
00:28:26,467 --> 00:28:28,458
- Hey!
- What's the matter?
336
00:28:28,535 --> 00:28:31,732
I don't know.
I think I'm goin' blind.
337
00:28:31,805 --> 00:28:35,172
It's the lights and that salami.
338
00:28:35,242 --> 00:28:37,387
- Well, what's the matter with 'em?
- How should I know?
339
00:28:37,411 --> 00:28:41,313
What am I? An electrician?
I got enough trouble bein' a helmsman.
340
00:28:41,382 --> 00:28:45,842
- Chief, the water's carryin'
over to the generator!
- What do you want from me?
341
00:28:45,919 --> 00:28:47,910
I knew it!
342
00:28:55,396 --> 00:28:58,024
The boiler, sir!
Let's get out of here!
343
00:29:14,415 --> 00:29:18,317
Larrabee! Larrabee!
Keep those men aboard!
344
00:29:18,385 --> 00:29:20,376
Larrabee.!
345
00:29:43,577 --> 00:29:47,411
There! Neat, huh? Now we get a couple
of cans of soup, and we're off.
346
00:29:47,481 --> 00:29:50,973
- Is that liable to blow up too?
- I thought these were army jungle issue.
347
00:29:51,051 --> 00:29:53,363
Well, look. It's here, ain't it?
It'll cook soup, won't it?
348
00:29:53,387 --> 00:29:55,514
- Wonderful! Love it dearly.
- Soup.
349
00:29:55,589 --> 00:29:59,252
- What's the matter?
- I don't know. I don't think
that soup's a good idea.
350
00:29:59,326 --> 00:30:01,351
Well, I do. I'm starved!
351
00:30:01,428 --> 00:30:04,420
On top of everything else,
we got a mess officer who gets seasick.
352
00:30:04,498 --> 00:30:08,867
I can't understand what happened to that
water. Wasn't that condenser working?
353
00:30:08,936 --> 00:30:12,463
I don't know. It was making
enough noise to be doing somethin'.
354
00:30:14,575 --> 00:30:16,668
- Were you able to get a message out?
- No, sir.
355
00:30:16,743 --> 00:30:20,179
Our signal's too weak with the hand
generator. Nobody's picking us up.
356
00:30:20,247 --> 00:30:23,410
Great. No communications.
357
00:30:23,484 --> 00:30:27,011
No power, no light.
What's the crew doing about food?
358
00:30:27,087 --> 00:30:29,453
They're all right, sir.
I've got the cook making sandwiches.
359
00:30:29,523 --> 00:30:32,549
- What about our drift?
- I put out a sea anchor, sir. It'll cut it down.
360
00:30:32,626 --> 00:30:34,617
Cut it down?
So we pile up on the rocks slower?
361
00:30:34,695 --> 00:30:36,720
Oh, no. We wouldn't run aground.
362
00:30:36,797 --> 00:30:38,958
I checked.
The gulf stream's carrying us out.
363
00:30:39,032 --> 00:30:42,968
- The gulf stream?
- Hey! There's submarines out there.
364
00:30:43,036 --> 00:30:45,027
Lookout reports a ship, Captain.
365
00:30:52,346 --> 00:30:54,371
What do you think she is, Larrabee?
366
00:30:54,448 --> 00:30:57,026
It's an armed tanker, sir,
running for Newport News without convoy.
367
00:30:57,050 --> 00:30:59,109
Think we can get a signal to her?
368
00:30:59,186 --> 00:31:04,146
She'd never stop in these waters.
With all that gas, she'd be a sitting duck.
369
00:31:04,224 --> 00:31:06,317
Well, maybe we can get her
to relay a message for us.
370
00:31:06,393 --> 00:31:09,885
- We just can't sit here, drifting.
- We won't drift far.
371
00:31:09,963 --> 00:31:12,158
Current out here in the stream's
only about 3 knots.
372
00:31:12,232 --> 00:31:14,564
That's fine. We'll be
in Ireland in months.
373
00:31:14,635 --> 00:31:18,071
Either that, or we'll be the first
sub chaser captured by a submarine.
374
00:31:18,138 --> 00:31:21,335
We're not getting
captured by anybody.
375
00:31:21,408 --> 00:31:25,003
- Come on, Tony.
- I better secure this Noah's ark for the night.
376
00:31:27,581 --> 00:31:32,609
He's crazy. I bet if we got
a signal out to him, he'd give us a tow.
377
00:31:32,686 --> 00:31:37,089
Yeah, and if not, we'll just sit here
and roll all night long.
378
00:31:37,157 --> 00:31:40,649
I picked up a couple of signal lamps
in the signal corps the other day. Maybe-
379
00:31:40,727 --> 00:31:44,925
- The signal corps? What a pack rat!
- I'm only tryin' to help.
380
00:31:44,998 --> 00:31:48,593
- Hey, that's wonderful. Where are they?
- They're down here.
381
00:32:11,224 --> 00:32:14,159
Either we're not putting out
enough power, or they're not listening.
382
00:32:14,227 --> 00:32:16,218
I can't get a rise out of'em.
383
00:32:16,296 --> 00:32:19,697
- Forget it.
- Hold, up, Lee. Let's give it one more try.
384
00:32:19,766 --> 00:32:22,462
Relax. Relax, Tony.
385
00:32:22,536 --> 00:32:25,869
All you'll get is a heart attack.
We'll have to wait for daybreak.
386
00:32:25,939 --> 00:32:28,305
Come on. I want to post
an extra security lookout.
387
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:30,775
You don't need to. I won't sleep.
388
00:32:37,651 --> 00:32:41,348
- You better hold the battery.
- Don't you think we ought
to tell the captain first?
389
00:32:41,421 --> 00:32:44,390
Hold it. I'll have us under tow
before he knows it.
390
00:32:57,971 --> 00:33:00,997
Hey! What's S.O.S.?
391
00:33:01,074 --> 00:33:03,542
Dah-dah-dah, dit-dit-dit?
Or dit-dit-dit, dah-dah-dah?
392
00:33:03,610 --> 00:33:06,443
Dah, dah, dah,
dit-dit-dit.
393
00:33:06,513 --> 00:33:08,640
Okay.
394
00:33:16,590 --> 00:33:18,820
On the bow.
395
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,792
- What's going on here?
- Oh, we were just
signaling the tanker, Captain.
396
00:33:30,871 --> 00:33:34,739
Signaling? You idiot! Don't you know
there's a blackout on the whole coast?
397
00:33:34,808 --> 00:33:36,799
Get down out of there.!
398
00:33:36,877 --> 00:33:39,437
Wait a second, Skipper!
Look! They're answering!
399
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,948
- Well, what did you send 'em? A challenge?
- Watch it!
400
00:33:50,023 --> 00:33:54,426
What are they sore at?
401
00:33:54,494 --> 00:33:56,724
In case you hadn't heard,
that's an armed tanker.
402
00:33:56,797 --> 00:34:00,255
- Fortunately, they're probably
scared to death of us.
- Why?
403
00:34:04,638 --> 00:34:06,833
Ireland, here we come.
404
00:34:08,709 --> 00:34:12,338
Sailing, sailing
Over the bounding main
405
00:34:12,412 --> 00:34:15,176
Where many a stormy wind
shall blow
406
00:34:15,248 --> 00:34:17,580
Till Jack comes home again
407
00:34:17,651 --> 00:34:22,247
Sailing, sailing
Over the bounding main
408
00:34:22,322 --> 00:34:26,019
Where many a stormy wind
shall blow
409
00:34:26,093 --> 00:34:30,086
Till Jack comes home again
410
00:34:30,163 --> 00:34:35,032
Sailing, sailing
Over the bounding main
411
00:34:35,102 --> 00:34:37,798
Where many a stormy wind
shall blow
412
00:34:37,871 --> 00:34:40,305
Till Jack comes home again
413
00:34:40,373 --> 00:34:44,673
Sailing, sailing
Over the bounding main
414
00:34:44,745 --> 00:34:48,875
Where many a stormy wind
shall blow
415
00:34:48,949 --> 00:34:53,818
Till Jack comes home again
416
00:34:53,887 --> 00:34:56,048
Close that port, will you?
417
00:35:01,962 --> 00:35:05,989
- What's the latest from those comedians?
- Just a second, Skipper.
418
00:35:06,066 --> 00:35:12,164
"Urgent. Would you prefer to wait
for darkness before proceeding up channel?"
419
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,675
Very funny. Tell them to-
420
00:35:15,742 --> 00:35:18,336
Tell them no.
Where's the boatswain?
421
00:35:18,411 --> 00:35:22,507
- That towline doesn't look so secure to me.
- He's locked in his quarters.
422
00:35:22,582 --> 00:35:25,346
- He won't come out.
- He won't come out? What is this?
423
00:35:25,418 --> 00:35:27,648
That's the Roanoke, Skipper.
It's his old ship.
424
00:35:27,721 --> 00:35:32,249
Oh. Well-
I-I don't blame him.
425
00:35:33,927 --> 00:35:36,828
I wonder if he's got room
down there for one more.
426
00:36:15,035 --> 00:36:17,094
Come in.
427
00:36:17,170 --> 00:36:19,934
- Skipper, Commander Reynolds
just came aboard.
- Reynolds?
428
00:36:20,006 --> 00:36:23,373
- Where is he?
- He headed for the engine room,
and he didn't look very happy.
429
00:36:27,514 --> 00:36:30,039
- Here you are, chief.
- Fire room log, sir.
430
00:36:32,018 --> 00:36:36,148
Steam drum pressure, 580.
Superheated steam temperature, 1700.
431
00:36:36,223 --> 00:36:40,990
Fuel oil pressure to burners, 25.
Fuel oil temperature to burners, 175.
432
00:36:41,061 --> 00:36:43,291
Water, 170.
Well, that's normal.
433
00:36:43,363 --> 00:36:45,388
Were these your readings
when she blew?
434
00:36:45,465 --> 00:36:48,434
- Well, no, sir. That'd be
about 20 minutes before.
- Eh, I thought so.
435
00:36:48,501 --> 00:36:52,130
The drum pressure went down to 480,
and the steam temperature up to 1,850.
436
00:36:52,205 --> 00:36:55,299
1,850? Didn't you know if you ran
at that heat, somethin' had to go?
437
00:36:55,375 --> 00:36:58,401
- Yes, sir.
- Why didn't you cut the burners?
You could be broken for this.
438
00:36:58,478 --> 00:37:00,639
- Yes, sir.
- Then why didn't you lower the heat?
439
00:37:00,714 --> 00:37:03,239
He didn't lower the heat
because I didn't tell him to, sir.
440
00:37:03,316 --> 00:37:05,784
He was following my orders.
441
00:37:05,852 --> 00:37:10,346
I believe it's customary for me
to answer questions pertaining
to the conduct of my ship.
442
00:37:10,423 --> 00:37:13,654
You're quite right, Captain.
I'm sorry, Chief.
443
00:37:13,727 --> 00:37:16,205
You understand that even though
this equipment is experimental...
444
00:37:16,229 --> 00:37:18,469
- the navy could hold you responsible for it.
- Yes, sir.
445
00:37:18,531 --> 00:37:21,796
They might have trouble proving
whether it was negligence or stupidity.
446
00:37:21,868 --> 00:37:25,599
It was my understanding that
you had a more than rudimentary
knowledge of steam engineering.
447
00:37:25,672 --> 00:37:27,799
- I have, sir.
- I'm delighted to hear it.
448
00:37:27,874 --> 00:37:30,172
Because you'll have plenty
of opportunity to prove it.
449
00:37:30,243 --> 00:37:33,974
There'll be another boiler placed in this
ship, and another series of tests scheduled.
450
00:37:34,047 --> 00:37:36,641
There'll be no liberty
until a successful run is made.
451
00:37:36,716 --> 00:37:38,980
You'll continue the tests
until they are a success.
452
00:37:39,052 --> 00:37:42,613
From what I've seen,
that may be some time.
453
00:37:42,689 --> 00:37:46,147
- I don't think so, sir.
- Ah, well. Good luck, mister.
454
00:37:48,561 --> 00:37:50,791
I walked right
into that one, didn't I?
455
00:37:50,864 --> 00:37:54,425
Just when I thought
we might get off of this time bomb.
456
00:37:57,537 --> 00:38:01,303
- Do you think we can make it work, Chief?
- I don't know, sir.
457
00:38:01,374 --> 00:38:04,036
- Well, we can try, can't we?
- Yes, sir.
458
00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:07,443
Well, get at it. Come on, Tony.
Let's get this thing mapped out.
459
00:38:09,616 --> 00:38:13,450
All right! Come on, you guys!
Let's clean up this mess!
460
00:38:15,288 --> 00:38:17,313
The old gray mare
461
00:38:17,390 --> 00:38:20,416
She ain't what she used to be
462
00:38:20,493 --> 00:38:25,861
Ain't what she used to be
463
00:38:25,932 --> 00:38:31,336
The old gray mare
She ain't what she used to be
464
00:38:31,404 --> 00:38:36,740
Many long years ago
465
00:38:44,284 --> 00:38:48,380
Hey!
Hey, sailor!
466
00:38:48,455 --> 00:38:51,788
- Feed us more line!
- Yes, sir, Mr. Boatswain!
467
00:38:52,959 --> 00:38:55,086
More line, fellas.
Move line.
468
00:38:55,161 --> 00:38:59,621
Yes, sir, Mr. Boatswain.
Yes, sir. Anything you say, Mr. Boatswain.
469
00:38:59,699 --> 00:39:04,830
Oh, don't forget.
Next time you go out, we got a date, deary!
470
00:39:22,455 --> 00:39:24,821
Keep moving.! Keep working.!
471
00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:33,595
"And did on the 17 th of May, willfully
attack Seaman Morse and Martell...
472
00:39:33,666 --> 00:39:36,726
"Seaman Apprentice Evans,
and storekeeper Olson with his fists...
473
00:39:36,803 --> 00:39:40,830
and with such violence as to place
Seaman Jennings in the ship's sick bay."
474
00:39:40,907 --> 00:39:43,137
Wascylewski, what have you
got to say for yourself?
475
00:39:43,209 --> 00:39:45,677
- Nothin', Captain.
- Nothing?
476
00:39:45,745 --> 00:39:49,408
You beat up four men. You put one of'em
in sick bay, and you've got nothing to say?
477
00:39:49,482 --> 00:39:52,781
They said I take a bath
in the distilled water.
478
00:39:52,852 --> 00:39:55,082
I didn't take no bath in it.
479
00:39:55,155 --> 00:39:58,647
I told 'em it 'vaporates.
They said it don't 'vaporate that fast.
480
00:39:58,725 --> 00:40:00,955
I said it 'vaporate
that fast on this ship.
481
00:40:01,027 --> 00:40:06,294
Now, look, Wascylewski. A lot of big brass
have said things like that to me.
482
00:40:06,366 --> 00:40:10,860
And worse! But I didn't go out and take
on the whole navy yard, understand?
483
00:40:10,937 --> 00:40:15,340
- Yes, sir.
- All right. I'll let you off with
10 hours extra duty this time.
484
00:40:15,408 --> 00:40:17,638
But I hear of you evaporat-
485
00:40:17,710 --> 00:40:22,170
If I hear of any more trouble on this-
486
00:40:22,248 --> 00:40:25,046
- What are you talkin' about? Shut up, you!
- Hey! Cut it out!
487
00:40:25,118 --> 00:40:27,450
Break it up!
488
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,920
Hey, break it up.!
489
00:40:31,791 --> 00:40:34,726
Now, get to your quarters
and stay there till I send for you.
490
00:40:36,096 --> 00:40:38,394
Go on!
491
00:40:38,465 --> 00:40:40,899
Larrabee, come here, will you?
492
00:40:40,967 --> 00:40:42,966
Yes, sir.
493
00:40:45,802 --> 00:40:47,793
- All right. Wascylewski, you can go.
- Yes, sir.
494
00:40:47,870 --> 00:40:51,101
- I want to talk to you, Chief.
- Yes, sir.
495
00:40:51,174 --> 00:40:53,874
Will you shut the door?
496
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:02,276
Every time I turn around on this ship,
there's a fight.
497
00:41:02,352 --> 00:41:07,984
And don't look so pious. I understand
you two have had a go at it yourselves.
498
00:41:08,057 --> 00:41:11,891
Look, I want to know what to do
with this crew. What's the answer?
499
00:41:11,961 --> 00:41:15,040
- Liberty. That's the answer, sir.
They got to have a liberty.
- That's right, sir.
500
00:41:15,064 --> 00:41:18,304
They got to blow off some of their steam.
They've been on this can for two months.
501
00:41:18,334 --> 00:41:21,735
You heard Commander Reynolds-
No liberty till we make a successful run.
502
00:41:21,804 --> 00:41:23,931
Why, that could take four years.
503
00:41:24,007 --> 00:41:26,919
There's guys in that shipyard makin'
a whole career out of fixin' this monster.
504
00:41:26,943 --> 00:41:30,879
- But this is a secret project.
- Secret! Some secret.
505
00:41:30,947 --> 00:41:33,916
The whole base lines up and cheers
every time we get towed in.
506
00:41:33,983 --> 00:41:36,383
I-I know they need
a liberty, but l-
507
00:41:36,452 --> 00:41:38,931
The only thing is for you to go
right to the base commander, sir.
508
00:41:38,955 --> 00:41:41,100
If it's the ship's morale,
he's got to give it to ya, Captain.
509
00:41:41,124 --> 00:41:44,093
Tell him you can't take the responsibility
for the efficiency of this crew-
510
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,856
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What did you two do, rehearse this?
511
00:41:46,929 --> 00:41:50,763
- Oh, no, sir. Nothing like that.
- No, sir. I should say not.
512
00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:53,324
Well, I'll-I'll think about it.
513
00:41:53,403 --> 00:41:55,837
Unfortunately,
the ship's laundry's broken down...
514
00:41:55,905 --> 00:41:58,931
along with the rest of the engine,
and I haven't even got a clean uniform...
515
00:41:59,008 --> 00:42:00,999
to go up against
the base commander.
516
00:42:01,077 --> 00:42:04,103
I thought about that, sir.
I-I-I put a couple of the boys to work-
517
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:08,276
Th-That could be your laundry now, sir.
518
00:42:55,298 --> 00:42:58,165
Johnny.
519
00:42:58,234 --> 00:43:01,829
- Oh, Johnny, it's so good to see you.
- Yeah? Who was that joker?
520
00:43:01,904 --> 00:43:05,704
Who? Who, Bill?
Just one of the boys.
521
00:43:05,775 --> 00:43:10,371
Johnny, you look wonderful. No.
No, you don't. You look a little worried.
522
00:43:10,446 --> 00:43:13,058
Me, worried? What have I got
to be worried about? I'm as happy as a-
523
00:43:13,082 --> 00:43:15,141
- You look worried.
- Well, I'm not!
524
00:43:18,287 --> 00:43:20,517
- Eh, can we go inside?
- Sure.
525
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,695
Now, do you mind telling me
just what you're doing here?
526
00:43:27,763 --> 00:43:30,527
What do you mean, what I'm doing?
I'm working.
527
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,795
Secretary to the captain.
How about that?
528
00:43:32,869 --> 00:43:34,894
- Secretary to the captain?
- Mm-hmm.
529
00:43:34,971 --> 00:43:37,735
Ellie, you don't know anything
about being a secretary.
530
00:43:37,807 --> 00:43:39,798
- Now, what do you know about boats?
- Ships.
531
00:43:39,876 --> 00:43:42,606
But never mind that.
Just h-h-how did you get this job?
532
00:43:42,678 --> 00:43:45,306
- Actually, it was the biggest
stroke of luck ever.
- Yeah?
533
00:43:45,381 --> 00:43:47,406
Mm-hmm. I came in
as a file clerk.
534
00:43:47,483 --> 00:43:49,815
Then one day, Danny-
uh, that's Captain Eliot-
535
00:43:49,886 --> 00:43:51,979
he needed somebody
in a conference in a hurry.
536
00:43:52,054 --> 00:43:54,648
So, I went in, and here I am.
537
00:43:54,724 --> 00:43:56,749
And the, uh, commission
went with it, huh?
538
00:43:56,826 --> 00:43:59,124
- Just turned on the charm
and there you were.
- Mm-hmm.
539
00:43:59,195 --> 00:44:02,892
Captain's secretary.
Oh, and lucky for you too.
540
00:44:02,965 --> 00:44:05,490
I've seen Commander Reynolds's
report on your trial run.
541
00:44:07,036 --> 00:44:09,163
You too?
542
00:44:09,238 --> 00:44:12,173
That is supposed to be
a secret project.
543
00:44:12,241 --> 00:44:15,301
- How do you know about it?
- Well, I'm the captain's secretary.
544
00:44:15,378 --> 00:44:19,747
He's the base commander. Everything
goes through Captain Eliot's office...
545
00:44:19,815 --> 00:44:23,307
after it goes through
Captain Eliot's secretary.
546
00:44:23,386 --> 00:44:25,650
Okay. l-I give up.
547
00:44:25,721 --> 00:44:28,019
Well, now, uh, do you think
I can see your boss?
548
00:44:28,090 --> 00:44:31,617
- What for?
- Because.
549
00:44:31,694 --> 00:44:34,185
I want to see him
about some liberty for my men.
550
00:44:34,263 --> 00:44:36,993
From the reports I've seen,
you're the one that needs some time off.
551
00:44:37,066 --> 00:44:41,196
- Now-Now, look,
I'm in trouble enough without-
- Trouble?
552
00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:43,295
- Are you in trouble?
- No, I'm not, but-
553
00:44:43,372 --> 00:44:45,966
- Look, if you're mad, and he's mad-
- I'm not mad!
554
00:44:46,042 --> 00:44:49,443
All right, darling.
You're not. But he is.
555
00:44:49,512 --> 00:44:51,503
Let me get him
in the mood first.
556
00:44:51,581 --> 00:44:54,641
What do you have to do,
sit on his lap?
557
00:44:54,717 --> 00:44:57,948
Uh-uh. Too fat.
558
00:44:58,020 --> 00:45:00,079
I just chuck him under the chin.
559
00:45:02,592 --> 00:45:05,925
Hm.
560
00:45:21,577 --> 00:45:24,137
Now just remember,
it's their first liberty.
561
00:45:24,213 --> 00:45:26,704
The minute they hit the ship,
I want you to hustle them below.
562
00:45:26,782 --> 00:45:29,410
I don't want no hootin' and hollerin'
on the deck.
563
00:45:29,485 --> 00:45:31,510
Mr. Dorrance will be on duty.
564
00:45:31,587 --> 00:45:34,920
But I don't want you botherin' him
unless you really need him.
565
00:45:36,626 --> 00:45:39,686
Well-Well, what's
the matter with you?
566
00:45:39,762 --> 00:45:41,787
I don't know
anybody in this town.
567
00:45:46,802 --> 00:45:49,430
Shore Patrol brings anybody in
and wants to make any trouble...
568
00:45:49,505 --> 00:45:51,598
just call me before you do-
569
00:45:54,010 --> 00:45:58,538
Wh-What-
What's in that?
570
00:45:58,614 --> 00:46:00,775
Ice cream.
571
00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:03,614
Ice cream!
572
00:46:36,185 --> 00:46:39,211
It ain't even 9:00 yet, and that's
practically the last of them now...
573
00:46:39,288 --> 00:46:41,483
comin' back with their tails
between their legs.
574
00:46:41,557 --> 00:46:44,822
- Half the starboard watch
don't even want to go.
- This is a new kind of navy.
575
00:46:44,894 --> 00:46:47,954
These men aren't your old-time sailors.
They got different backgrounds.
576
00:46:48,030 --> 00:46:51,625
"New kind of navy." Beggin' your pardon,
sir, but they're men, ain't they?
577
00:46:51,701 --> 00:46:56,570
The ordinary guy puts in two months on a ship,
he goes out and he... raises some sand.
578
00:46:56,639 --> 00:46:58,630
But do these guys?
579
00:46:58,708 --> 00:47:01,336
The rest of the base blows them
a bird about the Teakettle.
580
00:47:01,410 --> 00:47:04,902
So what do they do? Choose 'em? Belt
somebody over the head with a beer bottle?
581
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:09,110
Nah, not these guys. They come running home
to Mama with writing paper and ice cream.
582
00:47:09,185 --> 00:47:11,847
- Oh, now wait a second. You're not-
- Forget it, Bill.
583
00:47:11,921 --> 00:47:16,255
The boatswain's right.
They look like Coxey's Army.
584
00:47:16,325 --> 00:47:18,691
How come you didn't go ashore
with your watch, Larrabee?
585
00:47:18,761 --> 00:47:20,956
Me? With the Roanoke in, sir?
586
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:23,123
Why, I wouldn't be able to-
587
00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:27,465
- Well, uh, my back has been
a little off, sir, and l-
- Yeah.
588
00:47:27,536 --> 00:47:30,004
Yeah.
589
00:47:33,042 --> 00:47:36,705
What the heck?
Let me outside-
590
00:47:36,779 --> 00:47:39,509
Let me-
591
00:47:39,582 --> 00:47:42,016
Come one by one.
I'll take 'em all on.!
592
00:47:42,084 --> 00:47:44,211
Ain't talkin' about
my ship that way.
593
00:47:44,286 --> 00:47:47,847
I'll show 'em what a Teakettle is.
Crummy rotten-
594
00:47:47,923 --> 00:47:49,948
There's your battleship, shorty.
Get goin'.
595
00:47:50,025 --> 00:47:52,823
Don't you start makin' no cracks,
brighteyes, or I'll belt you too!
596
00:47:52,895 --> 00:47:56,558
What'd you do it for, Norelli?
I told you there'd be trouble!
597
00:47:56,632 --> 00:47:59,465
Well, they was such
a smart bunch of punks like-
598
00:47:59,535 --> 00:48:02,732
Oh, let me alone! Let me alone!
I don't know why I did it.
599
00:48:02,805 --> 00:48:04,796
- Well, come on.
- Get away!
600
00:48:07,309 --> 00:48:10,039
I'm comin' aboard
this bucket by myself.
601
00:48:12,047 --> 00:48:14,311
Come on.
602
00:48:29,498 --> 00:48:31,557
There's a sailor.
603
00:48:35,137 --> 00:48:39,506
"And has repeatedly failed
to complete its mission.
604
00:48:39,575 --> 00:48:43,671
"Inefficiency and lack of morale
are contributing factors to these failures.
605
00:48:43,746 --> 00:48:47,045
"They will no longer
be tolerated by this command.
606
00:48:47,116 --> 00:48:51,746
"The PC-1168 is being readied
for another trial run.
607
00:48:53,956 --> 00:48:58,893
"No excuses will be accepted for failure
to complete this run successfully.
608
00:48:58,961 --> 00:49:02,954
"This communication will be read
to the officer complement of the PC-1168...
609
00:49:03,032 --> 00:49:05,626
"and displayed prominently
for the enlisted men.
610
00:49:05,701 --> 00:49:09,228
- W.R. Reynolds, Commander U.S.N."
- Oh, Reynolds. What's eatin' that guy?
611
00:49:09,305 --> 00:49:12,035
He's just a pusher. The secretary
of the navy pushes the admiral.
612
00:49:12,107 --> 00:49:14,940
- The admiral pushes Reynolds.
- Yeah, and he pushes us but-but good.
613
00:49:15,010 --> 00:49:17,410
But what's he always
harpin' on morale for?
614
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,938
Because it's true!
We haven't got any.
615
00:49:21,016 --> 00:49:23,610
We're the joke of the base.
And you can't take pride in a joke...
616
00:49:23,686 --> 00:49:26,246
- no matter h-how funny it is.
- It's not our fault that...
617
00:49:26,322 --> 00:49:28,790
that jigsaw puzzle
in the engine room won't work!
618
00:49:28,858 --> 00:49:32,225
- They want it to work,
and they think if they put-
- Let's stop kidding ourselves.
619
00:49:32,294 --> 00:49:35,855
It's up to us to make it work.
But we can't do it without a crew.
620
00:49:37,233 --> 00:49:39,258
Post that on the board,
will you, Chuck?
621
00:49:39,335 --> 00:49:41,326
Now that's gonna be
a great help to morale.
622
00:49:41,403 --> 00:49:43,428
What else can we do?
We've had entertainment.
623
00:49:43,506 --> 00:49:45,497
We run classes.
We-We-We had contests.
624
00:49:45,574 --> 00:49:47,654
Yeah, that checker tournament.
That was a great idea.
625
00:49:47,710 --> 00:49:49,735
What would you do,
run a burlesque show?
626
00:49:49,812 --> 00:49:52,337
It'd be a better idea
than that mah-jongg contest.
627
00:49:52,414 --> 00:49:54,644
Hey, let's drop it.
628
00:49:59,054 --> 00:50:01,648
Say, w-would this
mean anything?
629
00:50:01,724 --> 00:50:05,353
"Boxing. Base championship."
For the seamen's fund.
630
00:50:05,427 --> 00:50:09,029
The base is giving a boxing benefit,
and they want entries from all the ships.
631
00:50:09,162 --> 00:50:12,689
Hey, I'll go for that.
632
00:50:12,766 --> 00:50:14,791
I was on the boxing squad at college.
633
00:50:14,868 --> 00:50:17,029
- Who did you ever lick?
- Ho-ho-
634
00:50:17,103 --> 00:50:20,143
- Well, I was ineligible, but... Well,
you're lucky. You're still ineligible.
635
00:50:20,206 --> 00:50:22,246
- This is for enlisted men.
- Nobody on this ship...
636
00:50:22,275 --> 00:50:24,334
can punch his way
out of a wet paper bag.
637
00:50:24,411 --> 00:50:27,505
Out of 52 men aboard, there's gotta be
somebody knows how to defend-
638
00:50:27,580 --> 00:50:30,378
- If there is, I don't know 'im.
- What about Norelli?
639
00:50:30,450 --> 00:50:33,146
- No, no, he's too small.
- Hey, what about Wascylewski...
640
00:50:33,219 --> 00:50:36,484
- the guy who took on the four
fellas in the engine room?
- Wascylews-
641
00:50:36,556 --> 00:50:40,822
Why didn't I think-Hey, he oughta
be able to lick his weight in pig iron.
642
00:50:40,894 --> 00:50:43,939
- You think the crew will
get behind something like this?
- If we don't force it on 'em...
643
00:50:43,963 --> 00:50:46,158
- if we let 'em think it's their idea.
- Terrific.
644
00:50:46,232 --> 00:50:48,860
- Wascylewski.
- I know he can punch,
but can he defend himself?
645
00:50:48,935 --> 00:50:51,335
- Well, he's gotta.
- I'll do it. I'll teach him.
646
00:50:51,404 --> 00:50:56,034
Oh, brother, what I'd give to-
Hey, I gotta a right cross-Bop!
647
00:50:56,109 --> 00:50:58,100
Wait for the bell.
648
00:51:08,221 --> 00:51:11,850
No. No.
649
00:51:11,925 --> 00:51:15,759
Left. Left. Keep it up.
Lead with your left.
650
00:51:15,829 --> 00:51:18,730
Y.M.C.A. boy. Them stand-up fighters
always gets murdered.
651
00:51:18,798 --> 00:51:20,823
Look, Wascylewski-
Excuse me.
652
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:23,528
Look, Wascylewski, you gotta be shifty.
So you move, always move.
653
00:51:23,603 --> 00:51:25,594
You give the guy
plenty of elbow and thumb.
654
00:51:25,672 --> 00:51:28,937
All right. Go on. H-
Try to hit me. Come on.
655
00:51:37,117 --> 00:51:39,176
No, you big idiot,
not like that!
656
00:51:39,252 --> 00:51:42,119
You told me to hit ya, I hit ya.
657
00:51:42,188 --> 00:51:47,057
You gotta throw the punch
straight like that.
658
00:51:47,127 --> 00:51:50,221
Will you stop throwing the duke around
like a meat cleaver!
659
00:51:50,296 --> 00:51:54,562
Hey, Bill, Norelli, you mind? Before
somebody gets killed. Come on. Come on.
660
00:51:54,634 --> 00:51:57,467
All right, Wascylewski, let's start
with a few fundamentals, huh?
661
00:51:57,537 --> 00:51:59,801
What do you say?
Let's get a little balance into it now.
662
00:51:59,873 --> 00:52:03,434
Come on. Up on the balls of your feet. Get
your weight evenly distributed on both legs.
663
00:52:03,510 --> 00:52:06,377
That's the boy. You feel it a little there?
The balance?
664
00:52:06,446 --> 00:52:09,108
All right. Now, get your guard up.
Get that left foot out there.
665
00:52:09,182 --> 00:52:11,207
Up on the balls of your feet.
That's the boy.
666
00:52:11,284 --> 00:52:14,048
Get the left up. The right up.
Hold it right in close.
667
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,486
Head in. Chin down.
That's the boy.
668
00:52:16,556 --> 00:52:18,717
And when you throw your left,
put your body into it.
669
00:52:18,791 --> 00:52:22,488
Can you feel that now? Try that.
Come on. Come on. Let's see you try it.
670
00:52:22,562 --> 00:52:25,497
Come on. Throw your body into it.
That's the boy.
671
00:52:25,565 --> 00:52:27,658
That's the boy.
Throw it a little faster.
672
00:52:27,734 --> 00:52:30,328
Make it count. Make it count.
That's the boy.
673
00:52:30,403 --> 00:52:32,633
All right, Wascylewski,
a few lefts right in the glove.
674
00:52:32,705 --> 00:52:35,003
That a boy. Harder.
675
00:52:35,074 --> 00:52:37,099
That a boy.
Now let's try that right.
676
00:52:37,177 --> 00:52:39,168
- Hard?
- How else?
677
00:52:41,414 --> 00:52:44,975
Sit down, Norelli.
We'll learn something.
678
00:52:45,051 --> 00:52:48,077
Keep the left up.
That's what it's for.
679
00:52:48,154 --> 00:52:50,179
It's all right.
You'll get it.
680
00:52:50,256 --> 00:52:52,315
A few more lefts.
That a boy.
681
00:53:09,442 --> 00:53:13,276
Hey, that Tony's terrific.
He's really making a fighter out of him!
682
00:53:13,346 --> 00:53:15,337
The crew seems to think so.
683
00:53:15,415 --> 00:53:17,440
What about it, Boatswain?
684
00:53:17,517 --> 00:53:20,037
They're gettin' all steamed up
about it, sir, no doubt about it.
685
00:53:20,086 --> 00:53:22,111
You know, they think
he can win for 'em.
686
00:53:22,188 --> 00:53:24,179
You know, I think so too.
687
00:53:24,257 --> 00:53:26,282
- What about it, Bill?
- Huh?
688
00:53:26,359 --> 00:53:28,725
- What about the fight?
- Oh.
689
00:53:28,795 --> 00:53:31,457
I'm glad I was ineligible. Ooh.
690
00:53:48,281 --> 00:53:50,613
Okay.
Watch your dukes, you guys.
691
00:53:54,053 --> 00:53:57,989
- Lower away!
- See you do a job this time, Bessie.
692
00:54:04,631 --> 00:54:06,758
Sir? Sir?
693
00:54:06,833 --> 00:54:09,324
Sir, can l-
can I speak to you, sir?
694
00:54:09,402 --> 00:54:12,030
- Go right ahead, Norelli. What-
- It's about Wascylewski, sir.
695
00:54:12,105 --> 00:54:14,505
The boys are pretty
excited about him.
696
00:54:14,574 --> 00:54:18,087
I don't know why. He's got
half of'em up in sick bay from
being used as sparring partners.
697
00:54:18,111 --> 00:54:21,774
Oh, boy, hits like Louis.
I mean, don't the captain think so, sir?
698
00:54:21,848 --> 00:54:25,249
- Looks like he could break a door
down without gloves, doesn't he?
- Yes, sir.
699
00:54:25,318 --> 00:54:28,014
- Well?
- Well, uh, you see,
like I said before, sir...
700
00:54:28,087 --> 00:54:30,078
the boys are pretty excited
about him.
701
00:54:30,156 --> 00:54:32,522
They'd all like to get a little dough down-
make a bet, sir.
702
00:54:32,592 --> 00:54:34,583
I thought this was for charity.
703
00:54:34,661 --> 00:54:36,686
You know, sir.
Charity begins at home.
704
00:54:36,763 --> 00:54:40,221
- Wascylewski is a shoo-in.
- I guess it's all right with me. Yeah.
705
00:54:40,300 --> 00:54:42,768
But-But, sir,
that ain't exactly what I mean, sir.
706
00:54:42,835 --> 00:54:46,236
The guys kinda figured
that you'd get the bet down for 'em.
707
00:54:46,306 --> 00:54:49,070
- Me?
- You're the only one
who can get off the ship, sir.
708
00:54:49,142 --> 00:54:52,111
- So?
- There's a yeoman in the signal
section there, name of Whitey.
709
00:54:52,178 --> 00:54:54,203
- He's bookin' the fights.
- Uh-huh.
710
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,805
This guy wants to lay 7-5,
but don't let him get away with it.
711
00:54:56,883 --> 00:54:59,545
Anytime it's play or pay,
it's at least 8-5.
712
00:54:59,619 --> 00:55:02,219
- If you pull a little rank,
you might be able to get-
- Norelli...
713
00:55:02,288 --> 00:55:04,756
just what makes you think
I'm gonna see this Whitey at all?
714
00:55:04,824 --> 00:55:06,883
Oh, but, sir, this is
for the honor of the ship...
715
00:55:06,959 --> 00:55:09,792
and we thought that you
and the other officers would wanna.
716
00:55:09,862 --> 00:55:12,592
You ain't gonna let us down,
are ya, Skipper?
717
00:55:12,665 --> 00:55:14,895
Well, as long as it's
just a matter of a few dollars.
718
00:55:14,967 --> 00:55:18,494
Well, that's all. Just so's they can't say
the Teakettle is a piker.
719
00:55:18,571 --> 00:55:20,596
Well, all right.
720
00:55:20,673 --> 00:55:24,268
There's just short
of 18 yards here, sir.
721
00:55:24,344 --> 00:55:28,178
- $1,800?
- Well, most of the guys got
allotments and bonds and stuff.
722
00:55:28,247 --> 00:55:31,683
It's the best they could do, sir.
Thank you, sir.
723
00:55:31,751 --> 00:55:33,742
Hey, Chief!
724
00:55:41,194 --> 00:55:43,662
Mr. Harkness, sir.
Orders from the base.
725
00:55:51,838 --> 00:55:54,204
- O-Oh, sailor.
- Yes, sir.
726
00:55:54,273 --> 00:55:56,298
- Are you going back to the base?
- Yes, sir.
727
00:55:56,376 --> 00:55:59,777
- You know a fella named Whitey?
- Whitey?
728
00:55:59,846 --> 00:56:02,440
Yes, sir.
E-Everybody knows Whitey.
729
00:56:02,515 --> 00:56:05,678
Uh-Well, give him this.
730
00:56:05,752 --> 00:56:09,950
From the ship.
Uh-He'll understand.
731
00:56:11,224 --> 00:56:13,522
Yes, sir.
732
00:56:13,593 --> 00:56:16,027
- O-Oh, sailor?
- Yes, sir.
733
00:56:16,095 --> 00:56:20,054
Tell 'im I said we want it 8-5,
and no monkey business.
734
00:56:20,133 --> 00:56:22,124
Yes, sir.
735
00:56:29,242 --> 00:56:31,574
Houlihan, you bet 30
at 8-5, right?
736
00:56:31,644 --> 00:56:33,669
- That means you get 48.
- That's right.
737
00:56:33,746 --> 00:56:36,681
- Lee, you bet six-
- Well, I see you're counting
your money, huh?
738
00:56:36,749 --> 00:56:39,843
Yours too, Chief. Let's see.
You bet 50, huh? At 8-5 you oughta get-
739
00:56:39,919 --> 00:56:43,252
Look, kid, before you run out of fingers,
I got a little news for ya.
740
00:56:43,322 --> 00:56:47,156
- We run another trial on the 12th.
- Twelve, 13, who cares?
741
00:56:47,226 --> 00:56:51,322
You don't care? It just happens to be
the day that Wascylewski fights.
742
00:56:51,397 --> 00:56:55,333
Hey, if we run out of water again,
there ain't gonna be no fight.
743
00:56:55,401 --> 00:56:57,733
Norelli, you mallet-head!
744
00:56:57,804 --> 00:56:59,829
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
745
00:56:59,906 --> 00:57:02,272
- Let me think.
- Great.
746
00:57:02,341 --> 00:57:04,741
All right. Nobody takes a bath, see?
747
00:57:04,811 --> 00:57:07,211
Nobody drinks no water,
and nobody brushes their teeth.
748
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,716
That ain't no good, Norelli. Look, if this
guy don't fight, we don't get no dough.
749
00:57:10,783 --> 00:57:12,910
I lose too, don't I? Now let me think!
750
00:57:12,985 --> 00:57:15,954
- You better do more than just think.
- All he wants to do is think.
751
00:57:23,629 --> 00:57:27,156
Houlihan, you know
those big cases of water-
752
00:57:39,145 --> 00:57:42,046
How much longer, Skipper?
753
00:57:42,114 --> 00:57:44,810
Just 12 minutes more.
754
00:57:59,499 --> 00:58:03,128
Hey, Chief, we're not gonna make it.
We're practically out of water now.
755
00:58:03,202 --> 00:58:06,137
We're gonna make it!
756
00:58:06,205 --> 00:58:08,605
- Hey, what's that?
- Hey, Chief, the steam's so hot...
757
00:58:08,674 --> 00:58:11,165
it's knocked the bracing right out
of one of those connections!
758
00:58:11,244 --> 00:58:14,145
- Well, wrap some waste around it
and turn the hose on it!
- Okay.
759
00:58:14,213 --> 00:58:18,547
Hey, watch out for the steam!
It's hot enough to cut you in half.
760
00:58:25,224 --> 00:58:28,819
Water! Water!
761
00:58:28,895 --> 00:58:31,523
Water!
762
00:58:32,932 --> 00:58:34,923
Water!
763
00:58:38,871 --> 00:58:41,499
- Hey, Wascylewski!
- What?
764
00:58:41,574 --> 00:58:44,668
You sure that's salt water?
765
00:58:44,744 --> 00:58:47,235
Yeah.
766
00:58:53,252 --> 00:58:55,345
Hey, Skipper! Skipper!
767
00:58:55,421 --> 00:58:58,720
There's the channel marker.
We're in the channel.
768
00:59:08,467 --> 00:59:10,458
That's it!
769
00:59:12,004 --> 00:59:14,495
See if they've got anything left
in the engine room.
770
00:59:14,574 --> 00:59:19,068
Tony? Tony? Skipper wants to know
if you got anything left.
771
00:59:20,212 --> 00:59:23,147
I'll guarantee ya, I haven't.
772
00:59:23,215 --> 00:59:26,582
Hey, Chief, he wants to know
if we got anything left.
773
00:59:26,652 --> 00:59:29,644
Tell him to take her in in style.
774
00:59:29,722 --> 00:59:33,089
Hey, Wassy, come on, boy.
Get in there and fight. Let's go.
775
00:59:33,159 --> 00:59:35,252
Skipper, they got enough.
776
00:59:36,762 --> 00:59:38,753
Cut her to half-speed
and take her home.
777
00:59:38,831 --> 00:59:40,992
Aye, aye, sir.
778
00:59:44,136 --> 00:59:47,037
Put her down to standard.
779
00:59:47,106 --> 00:59:51,042
- Oh, no! Now what?
- Ah, it's another one of them bearings.
780
00:59:51,110 --> 00:59:54,443
- I'll get it.
- Let it go! It don't mean nothin' now!
781
00:59:59,352 --> 01:00:02,719
Aaah!
782
01:00:02,788 --> 01:00:05,450
- Hey, Wascylewski!
- Wassy!
783
01:00:05,524 --> 01:00:07,515
You all right?
784
01:00:18,004 --> 01:00:22,065
Well, son, looks like you've got
about four broken ribs.
785
01:00:22,141 --> 01:00:25,372
W-Well, can ya put more-
more tape on 'em or somethin', doc?
786
01:00:25,444 --> 01:00:27,605
- I gotta fight tonight.
- Fight?
787
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,705
And shove one of
those ribs through a lung?
788
01:00:29,782 --> 01:00:33,377
Look, son, you're going
to base hospital.
789
01:00:33,452 --> 01:00:36,615
I'm-I'm-I'm sorry, Skipper.
I could've licked that guy too.
790
01:00:36,689 --> 01:00:38,714
- I never should've went-
- Forget it.
791
01:00:38,791 --> 01:00:42,227
It's not that important.
We'll catch him the next time, huh?
792
01:00:42,294 --> 01:00:44,421
Say, doc, the boys
with the stretcher are here.
793
01:00:44,497 --> 01:00:46,541
- Tell 'em to come in, will ya?
- Yes, sir. Corpsmen.
794
01:00:46,565 --> 01:00:49,398
- Hey, Mr. Barbo.
- Yeah?
795
01:00:49,468 --> 01:00:52,494
Hey, wh-why don't you take
Tommy Morse over there?
796
01:00:52,571 --> 01:00:54,596
He was the best
of the sparring partners.
797
01:00:54,674 --> 01:00:57,336
- Maybe he... Morse. That's a
terrific idea, Wascylewski.
798
01:00:57,410 --> 01:00:59,401
- Yeah.
- Hey, fellas, do you mind?
799
01:01:01,047 --> 01:01:04,147
Now, don't forget.
Y-You do that.
800
01:01:06,249 --> 01:01:08,240
Corpsmen.
801
01:01:11,487 --> 01:01:13,580
- Hey, Tony.
- Yes, sir.
802
01:01:13,656 --> 01:01:16,352
- What about Morse? Can he fight?
- No, he'll get killed.
803
01:01:16,425 --> 01:01:19,622
- What do you mean? He's not that bad.
- Oh, he'll get murdered.
804
01:01:19,695 --> 01:01:21,686
But I guess
it's the only thing we can do.
805
01:01:21,764 --> 01:01:23,789
Well, if he hasn't got a chance,
why-why bother?
806
01:01:23,866 --> 01:01:25,925
Look, it's-
it's play or pay, Captain.
807
01:01:26,002 --> 01:01:29,028
I think that we-the crew ought to
get some kind of show for their money.
808
01:01:29,105 --> 01:01:31,835
Well, that way they'll lose
both their money and the fight.
809
01:01:31,908 --> 01:01:34,604
- Well, the other guy
could always get a heart attack.
- Oh.
810
01:01:34,677 --> 01:01:39,307
Skipper, the ship is cleared for liberty, sir,
and they want you over at the base right away.
811
01:01:39,382 --> 01:01:43,182
Reynolds. Well, you-
you better try Morse.
812
01:01:43,252 --> 01:01:45,652
This is one time
Reynolds can't get sore.
813
01:01:45,721 --> 01:01:49,282
- How much do you want to bet on that?
- I'll take half that bet.
814
01:01:55,565 --> 01:01:58,193
If the skipper ever finds out
we brung this water onboard-
815
01:01:58,267 --> 01:02:02,363
He ain't gonna find out.
Now, hurry up!
816
01:02:02,438 --> 01:02:05,373
- Hey, what's going on there?
- Come on! Come on!
817
01:02:05,441 --> 01:02:07,636
Hey, what are you men
doing there?
818
01:03:00,296 --> 01:03:03,026
- Good evening, sir.
- Hmm?
819
01:03:03,099 --> 01:03:05,090
Oh, Harkness,
what are you doing here?
820
01:03:05,167 --> 01:03:08,136
- Didn't you send for me, sir?
- I? Why, no.
821
01:03:08,204 --> 01:03:10,729
I should've though.
We finally made it, huh?
822
01:03:10,806 --> 01:03:13,070
Wonderful, Lieutenant.
Wonderful. I'm delighted.
823
01:03:13,142 --> 01:03:15,975
- Yes, sir, but-
- No buts about it, Lieutenant.
You put the ship...
824
01:03:16,045 --> 01:03:19,310
through her paces, and, frankly,
I never expected it-not this soon, that is.
825
01:03:19,382 --> 01:03:22,661
- Eh, did you have any water left?
- That's what I wanted
to talk to you about, sir.
826
01:03:22,685 --> 01:03:25,664
I want to talk to you, too, but I'm late
for a meeting now. Maybe later, huh?
827
01:03:25,688 --> 01:03:28,987
Yes, sir. But you see-
828
01:03:42,538 --> 01:03:45,234
- Why, Johnny, what a surprise.
- Uh-huh.
829
01:03:45,308 --> 01:03:49,142
- How did you get here?
- I had an idea Commander Reynolds
wanted to see me.
830
01:03:49,211 --> 01:03:51,236
- Oh.
- He didn't.
831
01:03:51,314 --> 01:03:54,283
- You did. Why?
- Okay.
832
01:03:54,350 --> 01:03:56,477
You're so smart.
833
01:03:56,552 --> 01:03:59,612
I wanted to see you
so we could have dinner and celebrate.
834
01:03:59,689 --> 01:04:01,850
- Celebrate?
- Yes, celebrate.
835
01:04:01,924 --> 01:04:04,154
I knew if I didn't
get you off that ship...
836
01:04:04,226 --> 01:04:06,421
you'd stay there
and invent a new law of physics.
837
01:04:06,495 --> 01:04:09,259
- Ellie, uh, I don't feel like-
- You will.
838
01:04:09,332 --> 01:04:12,631
- 'Cause I've got something to tell you.
- What?
839
01:04:12,702 --> 01:04:15,136
First, take that
sour look off your face.
840
01:04:15,204 --> 01:04:18,435
Stop acting like I was asking you
to spend the evening at Mother's.
841
01:04:18,507 --> 01:04:21,169
Oh, I kind of like your mother.
842
01:04:21,243 --> 01:04:23,336
How about me?
843
01:04:29,885 --> 01:04:33,343
Oh, uh, Captain-
Captain Eliot, this is John.
844
01:04:33,422 --> 01:04:35,413
Lieutenant Harkness,
he's my husband.
845
01:04:35,491 --> 01:04:37,721
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
846
01:04:37,793 --> 01:04:39,988
- Good evening, mister.
- Good evening, sir.
847
01:04:40,062 --> 01:04:44,123
I compliment you on your choice
of a wife, sir. A highly efficient officer.
848
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,465
- Thank you, sir.
- So efficient, that I find
she needs no help from me...
849
01:04:47,536 --> 01:04:50,369
in issuing orders
concerning my officers on shipboard.
850
01:04:50,439 --> 01:04:52,839
- I'm sorry, sir.
- No, there's no need to be.
851
01:04:52,908 --> 01:04:55,206
It's about time she was getting a rest
from this office.
852
01:04:55,277 --> 01:04:57,268
If I were you,
I'd take her to dinner tonight.
853
01:04:57,346 --> 01:04:59,424
- There's a dance at the officer's club.
- Oh, how nice.
854
01:04:59,448 --> 01:05:02,008
- But, sir, the, uh, fights are tonight.
- Fights?
855
01:05:02,084 --> 01:05:04,678
Harkness, have you ever
seen any amateur fights?
856
01:05:04,754 --> 01:05:07,245
No, sir, I haven't. But there's-
there's a boy from our ship-
857
01:05:07,323 --> 01:05:09,348
- Is he any good?
- Well, no.
858
01:05:09,425 --> 01:05:13,020
Well, then don't be an idiot.
I have to go. I have to referee 'em.
859
01:05:13,095 --> 01:05:15,222
- Ellie, you tell the duty yeoman, will you?
- Sure.
860
01:05:15,297 --> 01:05:18,664
- Good night.
- Good night, Danny. And thanks.
861
01:05:18,734 --> 01:05:20,725
Captain Eliot will be
at the auditorium, Benny.
862
01:05:20,803 --> 01:05:22,930
I'll be home for a while,
then at the Officer's Club.
863
01:05:23,005 --> 01:05:25,496
"Danny." Ain't that cute?
864
01:05:30,079 --> 01:05:32,377
- Danny boy.
- Come on.
865
01:05:32,448 --> 01:05:34,939
What are we going home for?
We'll be late for dinner as is.
866
01:05:35,017 --> 01:05:37,952
- I want to change.
- Change? Into what?
867
01:05:38,020 --> 01:05:40,045
Just change.
868
01:05:40,122 --> 01:05:43,421
Take a shower, freshen up.
869
01:05:43,492 --> 01:05:46,859
You know, change.
870
01:05:46,929 --> 01:05:48,920
Oh.
871
01:05:59,341 --> 01:06:02,367
You smell better than an engine room,
even in the uniform.
872
01:06:02,445 --> 01:06:04,777
- Flatterer.
- You were gonna tell me something.
873
01:06:04,847 --> 01:06:07,975
- What was it?
- Hmm? Oh, yes.
874
01:06:08,050 --> 01:06:10,883
It's been a terrific evening so far.
This better not be a letdown.
875
01:06:10,953 --> 01:06:14,081
Oh, no. This is wonderful.
876
01:06:14,156 --> 01:06:18,889
- Admiral Tennant came down
from Washington this afternoon.
- Wonderful.
877
01:06:18,961 --> 01:06:21,293
He came down to find out
about the Teakettle.
878
01:06:21,363 --> 01:06:23,957
And when he heard about the trial,
he was delighted.
879
01:06:24,033 --> 01:06:26,934
- Oh, fine. Wait till he finds out about-
- So delighted that...
880
01:06:27,002 --> 01:06:31,166
he's bringing the trial board out personally
on Wednesday for the official sea trial.
881
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,299
- Official sea trial? Ellie-
- Shh, shh.
882
01:06:33,375 --> 01:06:36,344
You aren't supposed to know about it
till tomorrow.
883
01:06:36,412 --> 01:06:38,607
Look, there he is now.
884
01:06:38,681 --> 01:06:41,343
- Admiral, this is my wife.
- How do you do?
885
01:06:41,417 --> 01:06:43,612
- Who?
- Admiral Tennant. I met him this afternoon.
886
01:06:43,686 --> 01:06:46,450
He's very nice. Come on.
I'll introduce you to him.
887
01:06:46,522 --> 01:06:50,117
E-E-Ellie, uh, come here.
888
01:06:52,394 --> 01:06:55,693
- What's the matter?
- We've got to get out of here quick.
889
01:06:55,764 --> 01:06:57,755
Sir, there's a table over here.
890
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,480
Oh, that's the fight, sir. Must be some
sailor gettin' the whey beat out of him.
891
01:07:15,551 --> 01:07:17,781
I can't imagine who.
892
01:07:17,853 --> 01:07:19,893
- What would you like, Ellie?
- Oh, nothing, thanks.
893
01:07:19,955 --> 01:07:22,515
Bring me a whiskey and soda.
894
01:07:22,591 --> 01:07:24,616
I'm gonna need it.
895
01:07:24,693 --> 01:07:27,787
Johnny, what is this?
You look like a frightened rabbit.
896
01:07:27,863 --> 01:07:29,888
I'm frightened, all right.
897
01:07:32,034 --> 01:07:37,529
Ellie, the Teakettle can't pass a test,
official sea or anything else.
898
01:07:37,606 --> 01:07:41,064
- But you just ran one this afternoon.
- Oh, no, we didn't.
899
01:07:41,143 --> 01:07:43,805
At least-At least
I don't think we did.
900
01:07:43,879 --> 01:07:49,818
Look, so that we'd be back in time
for one of our boys to
be in those fights over there...
901
01:07:49,885 --> 01:07:53,548
a- a couple of my sailors smuggled
extra distilled water aboard.
902
01:07:53,622 --> 01:07:56,989
How much, I don't know.
Or-Or how much we used, I don't know.
903
01:07:57,059 --> 01:07:59,050
Are you sure
there isn't a chance that-
904
01:07:59,128 --> 01:08:01,153
Ellie, there's only
one thing I'm sure of.
905
01:08:01,230 --> 01:08:04,358
You-You-You can't
do anything without a crew.
906
01:08:04,433 --> 01:08:07,266
And a-And after tonight, the morale
of the Teakettle will be so low...
907
01:08:07,336 --> 01:08:09,361
you won't be able to find it.
908
01:08:09,438 --> 01:08:12,498
- We even had to put
a substitute in those fights.
- Johnny.
909
01:08:12,575 --> 01:08:15,703
You're going to
have to run the trial.
910
01:08:15,778 --> 01:08:17,871
I know it.
911
01:08:17,947 --> 01:08:20,245
I guess we might as well face it.
912
01:08:20,316 --> 01:08:22,784
None of us will get
sea duty after this.
913
01:08:22,851 --> 01:08:26,048
- We'll be lucky if we-
- Sea duty?
914
01:08:26,121 --> 01:08:28,248
Well, sure.
915
01:08:28,324 --> 01:08:30,349
Did you-
916
01:08:31,527 --> 01:08:33,518
l- l-I mean, Ellie-
917
01:08:42,605 --> 01:08:44,800
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.
918
01:08:47,843 --> 01:08:49,970
What is it, Ellie?
919
01:08:50,045 --> 01:08:52,479
Well, I don't know.
920
01:08:56,485 --> 01:08:59,045
You want sea duty,
don't you, Johnny?
921
01:08:59,121 --> 01:09:02,284
What did you think would happen
if we passed the trials?
922
01:09:02,358 --> 01:09:06,260
You're an engineer.
I thought maybe a desk job.
923
01:09:06,328 --> 01:09:09,957
- You know, some other test project.
- Recruiting in lowa?
924
01:09:10,032 --> 01:09:13,900
Ellie, l-I don't quite know why I should
want it either, why any of us should...
925
01:09:13,969 --> 01:09:18,497
but you start something and you-
926
01:09:18,574 --> 01:09:21,566
You understand it.
Don't you, Ellie?
927
01:09:21,644 --> 01:09:25,444
I guess I should.
I'm-I'm old enough.
928
01:09:25,514 --> 01:09:28,142
I guess I should have
known it all along.
929
01:09:28,217 --> 01:09:32,119
Look, Ellie, there are about four million
wives of guys in the service...
930
01:09:32,187 --> 01:09:34,178
in the same spot you're in.
931
01:09:34,256 --> 01:09:37,282
I suppose so, Johnny,
but they're not real people to me.
932
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:39,953
They're-They're just
big fat numbers.
933
01:09:40,029 --> 01:09:44,193
Like the income tax
or how many miles to the moon.
934
01:09:44,266 --> 01:09:49,465
All I can think of is us.
That's all I want to think of.
935
01:09:49,538 --> 01:09:52,371
You just go right on thinkin' that.
936
01:09:52,441 --> 01:09:54,432
I like it.
937
01:10:18,901 --> 01:10:23,838
The next contest,
the cruiser Boise and the PC-1168.
938
01:10:23,906 --> 01:10:27,034
- Yeah, the Teakettle!
- You'll have to wait a minute,
she's being towed-
939
01:10:27,109 --> 01:10:29,634
All right. All right.
940
01:10:29,712 --> 01:10:32,442
- The contestants ready?
- Boise coming up, sir.
941
01:10:33,982 --> 01:10:36,542
Hey, what's the matter?
Come on, you guys.
942
01:10:36,618 --> 01:10:38,882
- Oh, he don't want to fight.
- It ain't that, sir.
943
01:10:38,954 --> 01:10:42,515
L- I ain't never done
anything like this before.
944
01:10:42,591 --> 01:10:46,027
I don't know what to do.
I don't feel good.
945
01:10:46,095 --> 01:10:48,655
Morse, come on.
You're not gonna back out on us.
946
01:10:48,731 --> 01:10:51,666
Y-You're not gonna let
the old Teakettle down, boy.
947
01:10:51,734 --> 01:10:55,602
Morse, you're not afraid.
948
01:10:55,671 --> 01:11:00,040
With a gun, no. With these, yes.
949
01:11:00,109 --> 01:11:03,078
But, Morse, this-this is for
the Teakettle. D-Don't you think-
950
01:11:03,145 --> 01:11:05,909
Attaboy! You think
you can make it, huh?
951
01:11:05,981 --> 01:11:08,006
You think you want to
take a crack at it?
952
01:11:08,083 --> 01:11:11,678
I think I'm gonna be sick, sir.
953
01:11:40,282 --> 01:11:43,718
Skipper! Skipper!
Skip, we did it! We did it!
954
01:11:43,786 --> 01:11:46,277
- Yea, the Teakettle.!
- Did what? The Teakettle did what?
955
01:11:46,355 --> 01:11:48,380
- Won the fight!
- Champions of the base.
956
01:11:48,457 --> 01:11:50,789
- Won the fight? You mean Morse-
- No, no, not Morse!
957
01:11:50,859 --> 01:11:53,555
- Wascylewski!
- Wascylewski? What? What do you mean-
958
01:11:53,629 --> 01:11:58,464
Yeah, that's me.
I fought under his name.
959
01:11:58,534 --> 01:12:01,833
I know I shouldn't have done it.
Well, it was his bright idea.
960
01:12:01,904 --> 01:12:04,839
I told 'em he was Polish,
couldn't talk any English.
961
01:12:04,907 --> 01:12:06,932
- Ooh, what a fight.
- Hey, Skipper...
962
01:12:07,009 --> 01:12:09,068
do you think that
they'll court-martial me for it?
963
01:12:09,144 --> 01:12:11,135
I wouldn't have
done it except that-
964
01:12:11,213 --> 01:12:13,841
Well, those guys haven't
had much to crow about for a long time.
965
01:12:13,916 --> 01:12:16,476
Now, look. I only know one thing.
I know we got a crew.
966
01:12:16,552 --> 01:12:20,181
Tony, if you didn't
have a split lip, I'd-I'd kiss you.
967
01:12:23,325 --> 01:12:25,589
Ship's company all present
or accounted for, sir.
968
01:12:25,661 --> 01:12:27,754
At ease.
969
01:12:27,830 --> 01:12:30,594
Ship's company, at ease!
970
01:12:33,268 --> 01:12:38,763
I've heard some scuttlebutt that you men
gambled on the fight the other night.
971
01:12:38,841 --> 01:12:43,210
I couldn't believe that the crew
of the Teakettle would bet on a sure thing.
972
01:12:44,746 --> 01:12:47,613
Well, I'm very pleased
to hear from the chief...
973
01:12:47,683 --> 01:12:50,379
that the PC-1168...
974
01:12:50,452 --> 01:12:54,218
made a sizable contribution
to the seamen's fund.
975
01:12:54,289 --> 01:12:59,352
At, uh, 8-5, I think it
amounted to about $4,500.
976
01:13:00,896 --> 01:13:04,525
Now I have something
more serious.
977
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,034
As you know by now...
978
01:13:07,102 --> 01:13:09,764
extra distilled water
was added to the ship the other day.
979
01:13:09,838 --> 01:13:12,705
I know why it was done.
980
01:13:14,276 --> 01:13:16,710
But it made it impossible
to calculate...
981
01:13:16,778 --> 01:13:20,509
whether we could have
made the run or not.
982
01:13:20,582 --> 01:13:25,884
And because of that, I don't know
if we can make the run today or not!
983
01:13:25,954 --> 01:13:29,253
But there is one thing
I do know...
984
01:13:29,324 --> 01:13:33,317
that every single man
on this ship will be trying.
985
01:13:33,395 --> 01:13:35,454
Attention on deck!
986
01:13:51,613 --> 01:13:54,673
Psst. Hey. Psst.
987
01:13:54,750 --> 01:13:56,741
Hey.
988
01:13:56,818 --> 01:13:59,787
That captain.
989
01:14:01,423 --> 01:14:03,414
Captain Eliot. What about him?
990
01:14:03,492 --> 01:14:06,290
He's the one that refereed the fight.
991
01:14:06,361 --> 01:14:10,730
Holy-Get below
and stay out of sight.
992
01:14:38,393 --> 01:14:40,554
Maximum effort, Captain?
993
01:14:40,629 --> 01:14:43,393
Maximum effort, sir.
994
01:15:04,419 --> 01:15:06,819
- Still maximum effort, Captain?
- Maximum effort, sir.
995
01:15:06,888 --> 01:15:09,482
- Come left 90 degrees, please.
- Come left 90 degrees, mister.
996
01:15:09,558 --> 01:15:12,049
- Left full rudder, helmsman.
- Left full rudder, sir.
997
01:15:25,674 --> 01:15:28,165
- Your gun crew at their station?
- Yes, sir.
998
01:15:38,754 --> 01:15:42,121
- Still maximum effort, Captain?
- Maximum effort, sir.
999
01:15:42,190 --> 01:15:44,283
Let me have
eight rounds, please.
1000
01:15:44,359 --> 01:15:46,350
Fire eight rounds
on the 40, mister.
1001
01:15:46,428 --> 01:15:49,090
Eight rounds.
1002
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:02,472
- Are you prepared
to fire depth charges, Captain?
- Yes, sir.
1003
01:16:02,544 --> 01:16:05,172
Maximum speed, sir.
1004
01:16:05,247 --> 01:16:07,545
Well, fire
the starboard charge, please.
1005
01:16:07,616 --> 01:16:10,141
Yes, sir. Stand by to fire
the starboard depth charge.
1006
01:16:10,218 --> 01:16:13,721
Stand by to fire
the starboard depth charge.
1007
01:16:22,096 --> 01:16:24,394
- Well, go on. Fire it. What are ya-
- Fire.
1008
01:16:24,465 --> 01:16:27,298
- Fire.
- Fire.
1009
01:16:33,407 --> 01:16:35,671
What did we hit?
1010
01:16:35,743 --> 01:16:38,735
It's a depth charge. Sounds like-
1011
01:16:40,180 --> 01:16:42,171
Chief, water!
1012
01:16:46,286 --> 01:16:50,416
Hey, bring a stillson wrench
on the double!
1013
01:16:51,525 --> 01:16:53,516
Right here, sir.
1014
01:16:57,798 --> 01:16:59,857
Chief, brass is coming.
1015
01:17:57,057 --> 01:18:00,390
Somebody mind telling me
just what's going on here?
1016
01:18:00,460 --> 01:18:02,951
Remember, sir,
this is an experimental engine.
1017
01:18:03,030 --> 01:18:05,157
Yes, certainly I remember it.!
1018
01:18:05,232 --> 01:18:08,929
Some of the equipment is a bit
cranky, and the crew had to improvise.
1019
01:18:09,002 --> 01:18:11,682
Wartime conditions, sir.
Bearings aren't quite what they used to be.
1020
01:18:11,738 --> 01:18:14,036
Yeah, yeah, I can see that too.
1021
01:18:17,744 --> 01:18:20,474
Well, Wascy-
Wascylewski, was it?
1022
01:18:20,547 --> 01:18:22,538
No. Oh, yes. Yes, sir.
I'm-I'm-
1023
01:18:22,616 --> 01:18:26,211
- I see you have
quick promotions on this ship.
- Oh, yes. Yes, we-we do.
1024
01:18:26,286 --> 01:18:29,483
- Wartime conditions, I suppose.
- Yeah, sir. Yeah.
1025
01:18:29,556 --> 01:18:32,491
- Yes, well, I'm glad to see
you've learned to speak English.
- Yes, sir.
1026
01:18:32,559 --> 01:18:34,550
It's a little warm there, isn't it?
1027
01:18:34,628 --> 01:18:38,462
Y-Yes, sir. Warm.
1028
01:18:38,532 --> 01:18:41,899
- I never saw anything like it
my whole life.
- We keep it running, sir.
1029
01:18:41,969 --> 01:18:44,233
Yeah, yeah. So I see.
1030
01:18:44,304 --> 01:18:48,001
You can also hang by your belt
from a doorknob and kick
the transom over with your feet...
1031
01:18:48,075 --> 01:18:50,202
but I don't advise it, Chief.
1032
01:19:02,289 --> 01:19:04,917
Hey, Chief! Chief! Look at this!
1033
01:19:06,059 --> 01:19:08,050
Look.
1034
01:19:08,128 --> 01:19:11,256
Hey, Tony! Tony!
1035
01:19:11,331 --> 01:19:14,357
Barbo! Barbo!
1036
01:19:14,434 --> 01:19:16,664
Here they come.
1037
01:19:22,809 --> 01:19:25,710
- It's amazing. Simply amazing.
- Uh-
1038
01:19:25,779 --> 01:19:27,770
Who's in charge
of your deck crew, Captain?
1039
01:19:27,848 --> 01:19:30,112
- The boatswain, sir. Larrabee.
- Larrabee?
1040
01:19:30,183 --> 01:19:32,276
Well-
Is that you, George?
1041
01:19:32,352 --> 01:19:35,287
- Yes, sir.
- Well, I wouldn't have recognized you.
1042
01:19:35,355 --> 01:19:37,414
- I'm a little older, sir.
- Yeah.
1043
01:19:37,491 --> 01:19:39,686
Yeah, y-you're a little
more diplomatic too.
1044
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,400
- I remember the time when you-
- That was your first command, sir.
1045
01:19:42,429 --> 01:19:45,557
Yeah, so it was.
That was a rough one.
1046
01:19:45,632 --> 01:19:49,363
I must have been pretty green.
Almost as green as that-Oh.
1047
01:19:49,436 --> 01:19:51,427
Well, you may resume
normal speed, Captain.
1048
01:19:51,505 --> 01:19:54,372
Yes, sir. Will you inform the watch
officer, Boatswain, normal speed?
1049
01:19:54,441 --> 01:19:56,486
- Yes, sir.
- Good to see you, George. Good to see you.
1050
01:19:56,510 --> 01:19:59,445
Thank you, sir.
1051
01:19:59,513 --> 01:20:03,313
Would the admiral
care for some refreshments, sir?
1052
01:20:03,383 --> 01:20:06,318
Yeah. Yeah, I would.
All right.
1053
01:20:15,462 --> 01:20:18,226
Okay, Mr. Barron,
you can cut her down.
1054
01:20:18,298 --> 01:20:21,756
Tony, you can cut her d-
1055
01:20:21,835 --> 01:20:24,497
What? Hey-Hey, Chuck.
1056
01:20:24,571 --> 01:20:27,550
- Chuck, what are you doing there?
- I want to see how my hors d'oeuvres went.
1057
01:20:27,574 --> 01:20:29,974
Hors d'oeuvres?
The throttles are frozen.
1058
01:20:30,043 --> 01:20:32,068
- Frozen?
- Yeah.
1059
01:20:32,145 --> 01:20:34,136
Th-The throttles are frozen?
1060
01:20:34,214 --> 01:20:36,808
B-B-Bill, l-look!
1061
01:20:40,988 --> 01:20:44,355
All right.
1062
01:20:44,424 --> 01:20:47,086
Break-Get-
Go get them.
1063
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,151
- All right.
- Reach-
1064
01:20:51,865 --> 01:20:55,892
- Hey, take it up!
W-W-We've got an admiral aboard!
1065
01:20:58,238 --> 01:21:00,763
Hey! Hey!
1066
01:21:00,841 --> 01:21:03,366
Get up-
1067
01:21:16,523 --> 01:21:19,219
Heh!
1068
01:21:24,331 --> 01:21:27,027
Ohh!
1069
01:21:27,100 --> 01:21:29,432
Whoa! Oh, no!
Get the-
1070
01:21:32,939 --> 01:21:36,340
Ch-Ch-Chuck.! Ch-Ch-Chuck.!
- Ohh!
1071
01:21:36,410 --> 01:21:38,878
Chuck.! Hey.!
1072
01:21:38,945 --> 01:21:42,005
Hey!
1073
01:21:42,082 --> 01:21:44,073
The captain!
1074
01:21:48,221 --> 01:21:50,689
Your ship giving orders
in Morse code, Captain?
1075
01:21:50,757 --> 01:21:54,022
Just proceeding
up the channel, sir.
1076
01:21:54,094 --> 01:21:57,495
- Tomato juice cocktail?
- Yeah, yeah. Fine, fine.
1077
01:21:58,999 --> 01:22:01,763
Look! Look! Look!
1078
01:22:01,835 --> 01:22:04,633
Oh! Oh! Don't! Don't!
1079
01:22:10,777 --> 01:22:15,305
Our throttles are frozen.
Our throttles are fro-
1080
01:22:18,852 --> 01:22:21,184
A few drops
of "Worcester-shire," sir?
1081
01:22:21,254 --> 01:22:25,020
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
1082
01:22:35,702 --> 01:22:38,865
- Will you have one, Admiral?
- Yeah.
1083
01:22:42,175 --> 01:22:44,200
That's very good,
very good, Captain.
1084
01:22:44,277 --> 01:22:47,644
You raised the tomatoes
in your engine room, I presume.
1085
01:22:47,714 --> 01:22:51,081
Oh. Oh, yes.
1086
01:22:51,151 --> 01:22:54,120
- C-Could I speak to you, sir, for a moment?
- Right away.
1087
01:22:54,187 --> 01:22:56,212
Excuse me, Admiral.
1088
01:22:58,058 --> 01:23:00,618
- Th-F-F-Froz-
- Easy! Easy.
1089
01:23:00,694 --> 01:23:03,390
- Now, take it easy. Now, what is it?
- The-They're frozen.
1090
01:23:03,463 --> 01:23:06,626
- The throttles are frozen.
- Frozen?
1091
01:23:06,700 --> 01:23:09,396
- Hey, Skipper.
- Have 'em pull the burners!
1092
01:23:09,469 --> 01:23:12,181
- I told 'em to pull the burners.
- Tell them to disconnect the shaft!
1093
01:23:12,205 --> 01:23:14,765
- I told 'em-The bypass valve is frozen too.
- Frozen?
1094
01:23:14,841 --> 01:23:16,832
- Yes, sir.
- Tell 'em to unfreeze it!
1095
01:23:16,910 --> 01:23:18,969
- Aye, aye, sir.
- Keep her circlin'!
1096
01:23:19,045 --> 01:23:21,809
- We've got to get these engines stopped!
- Yes, sir. I'll try, sir.
1097
01:23:21,882 --> 01:23:24,160
- I'll hold them in there till we do.
- Yes, sir, Skipper.
1098
01:23:24,184 --> 01:23:26,744
Tony! Tony!
1099
01:23:26,820 --> 01:23:30,688
- Sir! Sir!
- Oh!
1100
01:23:37,898 --> 01:23:41,299
Hey! Crank her over!
Whistle-
1101
01:23:41,368 --> 01:23:43,529
Get there quick!
Oh!
1102
01:23:47,674 --> 01:23:50,472
- Quite a ground swell.
- Gr-
1103
01:23:53,246 --> 01:23:55,441
Now we're gettin'
too much steam!
1104
01:23:55,515 --> 01:23:58,814
Captain, what is this?
1105
01:23:58,885 --> 01:24:03,549
L- It's probably the heating system, sir.
Oh, it's awful hot in here.
1106
01:24:03,623 --> 01:24:06,319
I'll open the door.
1107
01:24:06,393 --> 01:24:08,384
Say!
1108
01:24:10,197 --> 01:24:13,132
- Captain, what is this?
- Ou-Our throttles are frozen, sir.
1109
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,634
Throttles?
1110
01:24:18,638 --> 01:24:22,506
Listen. You get this ship out of here,
mister, before you wreck something!
1111
01:24:22,576 --> 01:24:25,306
Yes, sir.
I'll try to stop the engine, sir.
1112
01:24:27,214 --> 01:24:29,682
- Turn her to starboard!
- Yes, sir.
1113
01:24:29,749 --> 01:24:33,185
- Hard over to starboard!
- Yes, sir, hard.
1114
01:24:33,253 --> 01:24:36,484
Hard over to starboard!
Hard! Hard!
1115
01:24:36,556 --> 01:24:39,047
- There! Don't you see? Hard!
- Yes, sir.
1116
01:24:39,125 --> 01:24:41,616
Oh! Careful! The carriers!
1117
01:24:41,695 --> 01:24:43,993
The carrier.!
1118
01:24:44,064 --> 01:24:46,055
No! Go around!
1119
01:24:47,901 --> 01:24:51,166
- Gee whiz! Which way?
- Reverse! Go on! Reverse!
1120
01:24:59,012 --> 01:25:02,504
- Are they crazy down there on that thing?
- I don't know, sir.
1121
01:25:02,582 --> 01:25:05,278
But I could swear
that's Admiral Tennant on the bridge.
1122
01:25:06,620 --> 01:25:10,681
Ahoy down there.! The P. C...!
1123
01:25:10,757 --> 01:25:13,191
Admiral Tennant.!
1124
01:25:14,961 --> 01:25:17,293
What are you cookin'
down there, charlie?
1125
01:25:17,364 --> 01:25:19,559
Oh!
1126
01:25:48,495 --> 01:25:50,986
Here come the tickets to lowa.
1127
01:25:51,064 --> 01:25:53,157
Oh, you can't tell, Skipper.
Maybe it's just-
1128
01:25:53,233 --> 01:25:57,169
You don't suppose it's the navy "E"
for excellence, do you?
1129
01:25:59,205 --> 01:26:01,730
Base headquarters, sir.
1130
01:26:07,314 --> 01:26:12,149
"LieutenantJohn A. Harkness,
U.S.N.R., commanding PC-1168-
1131
01:26:12,218 --> 01:26:17,451
Directed to appear before a board of
inquiry at 1100 hours, room 206."
1132
01:26:20,994 --> 01:26:24,725
Well, it prolongs the agony,
but I guess the result's the same.
1133
01:26:26,099 --> 01:26:28,124
You don't suppose
that private laundry-
1134
01:26:28,201 --> 01:26:30,328
We'll have a uniform for you
in an hour, sir.
1135
01:26:31,771 --> 01:26:34,001
Thanks, Larrabee.
1136
01:26:34,074 --> 01:26:38,534
Sir, I'd like permission to
attend the board proceedings with you.
1137
01:26:38,611 --> 01:26:41,478
- You? Why?
- Well-
1138
01:26:41,548 --> 01:26:44,449
Me and Ryan and a couple
of the other guys talked it over.
1139
01:26:44,517 --> 01:26:47,145
You done everything you could.
I could testify to that.
1140
01:26:47,220 --> 01:26:49,984
And, besides,
I know the admiral since he was a pup.
1141
01:26:50,056 --> 01:26:53,651
- Maybe I could-
- The order says me alone.
1142
01:26:53,727 --> 01:26:56,287
But it's nice to know
I can speak for all of us.
1143
01:27:03,303 --> 01:27:06,534
And with the exception of
the two chief petty officers...
1144
01:27:06,606 --> 01:27:12,203
not one of the 76 officers and men
had any experience to
speak of until six months ago.
1145
01:27:12,278 --> 01:27:16,408
Just why they were
expected to run it, I don't know...
1146
01:27:16,483 --> 01:27:19,418
but I do feel they deserve
some consideration from this board.
1147
01:27:19,486 --> 01:27:21,818
I appreciate your defense
of your crew, mister.
1148
01:27:21,888 --> 01:27:23,981
However, no one's done
anything about them yet.
1149
01:27:24,057 --> 01:27:26,821
I suggest you contain yourself
till after you've heard the findings.
1150
01:27:26,893 --> 01:27:30,192
I'm sorry, sir. But my navy experience
is somewhat limi-
1151
01:27:30,263 --> 01:27:32,925
I appreciate that
you're not regular navy, mister.
1152
01:27:32,999 --> 01:27:35,661
Before I go into the findings,
I have something to tell you...
1153
01:27:35,735 --> 01:27:38,067
that as a reserve officer,
may interest you.
1154
01:27:38,138 --> 01:27:43,098
Just before this board was convened,
I received a message
from the secretary of the navy.
1155
01:27:43,176 --> 01:27:45,235
It concerned
the naval engagement...
1156
01:27:45,311 --> 01:27:49,042
which has going on for the past three days
at Midway Island in the Pacific.
1157
01:27:49,115 --> 01:27:51,549
The secretary reports
a clean sweep for us.
1158
01:27:51,618 --> 01:27:57,386
All in all, we probably had over 100,000
naval personnel involved.
1159
01:27:57,457 --> 01:27:59,925
- Do you know how many
were reservists, mister?
- No, sir.
1160
01:27:59,993 --> 01:28:02,223
About 95%.
1161
01:28:02,295 --> 01:28:06,459
Men like you, your officers and your crew.
That's what the navy's made up of, mister.
1162
01:28:06,533 --> 01:28:11,971
The army and the air force too.
Ordinary men that we get and try
to train as quickly as possible.
1163
01:28:12,038 --> 01:28:16,236
As you may have noticed,
our equipment is somewhat complicated.
1164
01:28:16,309 --> 01:28:19,767
We gear it to the training, the
experience of the men using it. You see?
1165
01:28:19,846 --> 01:28:22,246
L- I'm beginning to, sir.
1166
01:28:22,315 --> 01:28:25,580
We could have put a crew of experts
aboard your ship, Harkness...
1167
01:28:25,652 --> 01:28:28,092
but all that would have proved
was the experts could run it...
1168
01:28:28,121 --> 01:28:30,112
not you and your crew.
1169
01:28:30,190 --> 01:28:35,958
Now, as to the findings. I can hardly say
the trial run was a success.
1170
01:28:36,029 --> 01:28:38,156
Yet, in a way, it was.
1171
01:28:38,231 --> 01:28:41,564
We find that this engine is not
adaptable to vessels of the P.C. class-
1172
01:28:41,634 --> 01:28:45,900
A conclusion that you
may have reached yourself.
1173
01:28:45,972 --> 01:28:48,941
But the record of your trials
has convinced us...
1174
01:28:49,008 --> 01:28:51,738
that this engine can be used
efficiently and effectively...
1175
01:28:51,811 --> 01:28:54,336
- in another type of craft.
- What type, sir?
1176
01:28:54,414 --> 01:28:58,646
That's, uh, top secret.
We'll try and keep you off it, Harkness.
1177
01:28:58,718 --> 01:29:01,414
Now, for the efforts
that were put into these trials...
1178
01:29:01,488 --> 01:29:05,424
and for your crew's ability
to, uh, improvise-
1179
01:29:05,492 --> 01:29:10,486
The secretary of the navy has instructed me
to read them this letter of recommendation.
1180
01:29:10,563 --> 01:29:12,588
But under the circumstances...
1181
01:29:12,665 --> 01:29:15,793
I think perhaps they'd prefer to hear it
from their own skipper.
1182
01:29:15,869 --> 01:29:18,360
I believe that's in order.
1183
01:29:29,749 --> 01:29:31,740
Thank you, sir.
1184
01:29:33,553 --> 01:29:38,490
"To the officers
and men of the PC-1168...
1185
01:29:38,558 --> 01:29:42,324
"for services as set forth
in the following.
1186
01:29:42,395 --> 01:29:45,125
Commendation-"
1187
01:29:45,198 --> 01:29:47,632
Holy smoke! It's a diesel!
1188
01:29:47,700 --> 01:29:50,863
It's a diesel.! How about that?
1189
01:30:11,891 --> 01:30:15,657
- Stand by to cast off!
- Stand by to cast off!
1190
01:30:18,431 --> 01:30:23,767
- Hey! Don't forget,
Wascylewski, stay in shape!
- Yes, sir.
1191
01:30:26,739 --> 01:30:29,401
- What's he talkin' about?
- He's a character.
1192
01:30:29,475 --> 01:30:33,070
He's got me lined up to defend the base against
the Quantico Marines when we get back.
1193
01:30:33,146 --> 01:30:37,173
An interbase fight, that's terrific.
The Teakettle rides again.
1194
01:30:37,250 --> 01:30:39,377
Yeah, sensational.
You know who the marines got?
1195
01:30:39,452 --> 01:30:42,853
- Who?
- Barney Ross.
1196
01:30:42,922 --> 01:30:47,152
Cast off number two line.!
1197
01:30:51,097 --> 01:30:53,691
- Cast off the bowline!
- Cast off the bowline!
1198
01:30:53,766 --> 01:30:57,429
Let's get her!
All right, new boy, what's holdin' you?
1199
01:30:57,503 --> 01:31:00,597
- What's the rush?
- The rush is you're in the navy,
not in some pool room.
1200
01:31:00,673 --> 01:31:03,540
- Now, get on it before I belt you.
- Yes, sir.
1201
01:31:03,610 --> 01:31:05,601
All clear, Bos'.
1202
01:31:05,678 --> 01:31:09,546
All clear forward, sir.!
1203
01:31:09,616 --> 01:31:13,643
- All engines, one-third ahead!
- All engines,
one-third ahead, sir.
1204
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,211
- All engines
answer one-third ahead, sir.
1205
01:32:00,266 --> 01:32:02,427
What are the orders, Skipper?
1206
01:32:02,502 --> 01:32:05,869
Assume position in task force
and report to the flagship.
1207
01:32:05,938 --> 01:32:08,031
Aye, aye, sir.
