...if Mike were here to put
it into words right now...

...that's just about what he died for.

More roller skates in this world.

Including some for the next
generation of Japanese kids...

...because that's the kind of a man Mike was.

- Hey, what's that you're reading?
- San Francisco telephone directory.

- I collect names.
- So what do you do with them?

I just meditate. Wonder what kind
of people go with the names.

- Wonder what the names mean.
All kind of the stuff.
- Oh, names don't mean nothing.

- Oh, no?
- No.

- Well, my name's Wainwright.
- Yeah, Wainwright. So what?

Well, my grandpa used to build wagons.
So a wainwright's a guy who builds wagons.

- Like covered wagons?
- Sure.

Maybe he built some
wagons crossed the plains.

Some grandpas built houses.
Name's Carpenter.

Some grandpas made clothes.
Name's Tailor.

Some guy's grandpa built wheels
for my grandpa's wagons.

Name's Wheelwright,
a wheelwright's a guy who builds wheels.

Sun lamp ready in the forward room.
Come on, you torpedoman, GI sunshine.

Don't tell me the Captain
finally gave up that sun lamp.

Phone books are fascinating.
I'm nuts about them.

Personally,
I use phone books for long shots.

One day in San Diego, I had nothing to do
and nothing on my mind...

Except skirts.

So I sees this phone book.
I flip it open. I come to a name.

Rosalie Riley.

"Pretty name," I says to myself.
"I wonder what she's like."

- So...
- So you call her up.

No. Why waste time?

I go right out to her house, 21 Valley Road.

Never forget it. Had roses all over the place.

Very pretty. Very pretty indeed.

- Red and pink roses...
- Now we're going to pick roses.

So I pick a rose. So I got something I can
talk about when she comes to the door.

Up I go to the door.

I ring the bell. And I hear
a very nice voice from the inside.

"Wait a minute," she says.
"I'm in the bathtub."

Every girl you meet is in the bathtub
or just all of it!

I haven't met her yet. I'm on her porch!

Naturally, I sit down.

I'm rocking back and forth, back and forth.

Skip the details.
Who cares if you're rocking back and forth?

I'm just trying to give you the picture!

We got the picture!

You're in the bathtub! She's on the porch!

She's in the bathtub. I'm on the porch!

She comes to the door. My stomach flutters.

- She's beautiful!
- Now his stomach flutters.

"Oh," she says, "I thought you were
someone else." "Disappointed?" I says.

You're should right there
with a snappy comeback.

Well, she says,
"I can't ask you to come in."

"Of course not," I says, giving her pearly
teeth. "But I can ask you to come out."

What did she say to that?

Well, she didn't say anything,
that is, right away.

And then I proceeded to pour
on the personality.

But then what did you do?

Now, wouldn't you like to know?

You give me a pain in the pancreas. You're
always shooting off your face about woman.

Just stow it for the rest of this patrol,
will you. Some of us have sweethearts.

Yeah? Maybe some of us haven't.

Hasn't he been telling is the truth?

No. You haven't been swallowing
all that stuff, have you?

Captain.

Huh, this it?

I'm afraid to take a look.

Just hope it won't be Coney Island.

Well, I got on my lucky sweater.

What's the bearing?

0-5-0, Captain.

Smack on the button. Take a look.

Right down Fujiyama's throat.

Nice work, Andy. Check your tangents.

Lieutenant Raymond to the conning tower.

Attention, all hands.

We're lying off the Japanese mainland.
Thought you'd like to know.

Just like the postcards, huh?

You get a better look inside the bay,
Captain.

By the way, you think you can
get inside the net?

- That's what orders say.
- What about minefields?

- Can you see them underwater?
- Nope. I wish I could.

But if you do get in, I can get the ship out.

Well, this is a sort of blind date, Raymond.

- We just have to wait and see
what happens.
- Got my tangents, Captain.

Okay, Andy. Down scope.

We'll break out a chart
of the probable minefields.

Well, boys,
looks as if we have to wait for a ticket in.

This is going to be something like...
waiting to have your first tooth yanked.

Checking the gravity, Captain.

How'd you happen to volunteer
for the submarine service, Captain?

Well, when I was a kid...

...I used to get a kick out
of swimming underwater.

How's your wife feel about
your shoving off on these patrols?

The way the wives of all the men
in the services feel I guest.

Did she know what she
was getting into when marry you?

Not when she met me.

She was a blind date.

Not quite the same as the date
we've got ahead.

It was dark.
I couldn't see what she looked like.

- Will you find out what she looked like?
- Well, yes.

You see, we have two kids by now.

I meant that night, sir.

No.

But I found you didn't need to know
what a girl looked like to like her.

I liked her voice, the things she said,
the way she laughed.

Still do.

I like the way she is with our kids.

I like everything about her.

What made you pick the Navy, Raymond?

Well, I was born and raised in Tokyo.

Tokyo, Japan?

- You speak Japanese?
- Yes, he does.

- We expect to make good use of it soon.
- Let's hear some.

I'm sorry, Captain.

I thought there was a Jap
loose onboard ship.

It was Mr. Raymond.

The democratic movement in Japan
after the last war, what happened to it?

- The leaders were assassinated.
- What about the people?

They have no voice now.
Starvation is the big stick, isn't it Raymond?

That's right, sir. A big wage is $7 a week.

And no unions, no free press, nothing.

- They do what they're told.
- I afraid most believe what they're told.

Like that hero who knifed your torpedoman.

- Thanks, Andy.
- They were sold a swindle and accept it.

But how can they support such big families
with 7 bucks a week?

They don't. Daughters of the poor
are often sold to factories or worse...

...when they're about 12.

Females are useful there only to work
or to have children.

The Japs don't understand
the love we have for our women.

They don't even have a word for it
in their language.

Picking up something directly aft,
Captain. Bearing, 1-8-0.

- All stop. Up scope.
- All answering stopped, sir.

Sounds like a cruiser limping in,
destroyers escorting.

She's a heavy cruiser, deep in the water,
coming home sick, destroyers for nurses.

- Down scope.
- Dead duck, Captain?

Live duck. No torpedoes.
This is our ticket to the feeding grounds.

- Range on cruiser, soundman.
- 4,200 yards, sir.

Should be tugs coming to help her in.
Surge ahead, entrance to Tokyo Bay.

Aye, aye, sir.

Picking up several ships, sir,
confused sound. Maybe three, maybe four.

Good.

- 10 degrees dive on bow planes.
- 10 degrees on bow planes.

- All ahead one-third.
- Come on, Andy. The Japs don't know it...

- ...but they've sent us an invitation.
- All answering ahead one-third, sir.

Blow negative.

- Close negative flood.
- Negative flood closed.

- Zero bubble.
- Zero bubble.

- That cruiser's probably picking up
a plane escort overhead.
- Yeah.

- You figure we're right here, huh?
- And the minefields start
somewhere in there.

They're a cinch to have a sounding
device to detect uninvited guests like us.

Small ships passing over, sir.

And making so much noise their
destroyers can't hear us if they listening.

"Live duck," he says.

Did you guys hear the Skipper say
we're not firing any torpedoes?

He said our mission was Tokyo Bay. Okay,
we're here. What are we doing, sightseeing?

What's the matter, Tommy?
Scared with all the company over us?

I'm not scared... yet.

Tugboats have contacted
the cruiser and destroyers.

- A blow by blowest description of what
we ain't sinking!
- Oh, shut up.

- It's a free country!
- Not where we're sitting, it ain't.

Right in the Nips' birdbath.

Attention, all hands.

We're going to take a chance following
this cruiser through the minefields.

From now on, normal talking is okay,
but be careful of striking metal on metal.

You all know sound travels
far and clear underwater...

...specially when it's being sucked in by Jap
listening devices above us or onshore.

It's essential on our mission that we get
as near to Tokyo as possible.

In addition to mines, there's
certainly a submarine net ahead...

...just waiting for screwballs like us.

The cruiser will be passing over any minute.
They'll lower the gate to let her through.

I'm banking on confused understood up
by the tugs and cruiser...

...to keep our motor sound
from being picked up.

Stand by. Keep on your toes. Soundman?

Cruiser's starting to pass overhead, sir.

- All ahead two-thirds, steady as you go.
- All ahead two-thirds, steady as you go, sir.

- How's their speed?
- Slowed a few rpms, Captain.

Good. That helps us.

Bearing 0.

Bring her up to 55 feet, keel depth.

Anything I can do, sir?

You can join us in holding our breath.

We're trying this on for size.

- Can we hug the cruiser any closer?
- Just about kissing her now, sir.

If we kiss her bottom,
we get an ashcan right down our neck.

Bearing 0.
Picking up gate vessels off both beams.

We're approaching their submarine net,
Mr. Raymond.

Men...
You may all join me in a silent prayer.

They may not lower the net enough.

We got to take a chance.

Plane up to 45 feet, keel depth.

Attention, all hands.

That bottom you're feeling
is well inside Tokyo Bay.

We'll spend the rest of our first day here
as guests of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Say, Tommy, are you sure you feel all right?

We don't think I'd get sick
in the bottom of Tokyo Bay, do you?

It'll be dark upstairs soon.
We'll surface to charge batteries.

I can ask the Exec
to let you have some fresh air on the bridge.

No, thanks. I'm all right, honest.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, Wolf, Captain wants you
in his stateroom right away.

Now what have I done?

Skipper probably wants information
on Japanese dames.

Yes, sir?

Wolf, how would you like
a little shore leave?

- When, sir?
- Tonight.

- Tonight?
- Sit down.

- Huh?
- Sit down.

Yes, sir.

Wolf, you've been with me on five patrols.

I've watched you under fire.
You don't scare easy.

I'm gonna ask you to do something.

You can turn it down if you want to
and won't go any further than right here.

- Well, just give me the orders, Captain.
- This isn't an order.

If you go, you go voluntarily.

- You might not come back.
- Oh...

It has to do with why we haven't
betrayed our position by sinking ships.

Yes, sir?

We're putting three men ashore
to obtain vital data.

- That's why we're here.
- I'll go, Captain.

Good. Come with me, Wolf.

- Hi, Sparks.
- Hi, Wolf.

- Here's your other volunteer, Raymond.
- Oh, glad to have you with me, Wolf.

- Thank you, sir.
- We forget that "sir" stuff.

There won't be any time with that
when we go ashore.

Well, let's get down to facts.

Under the command of Admiral Halsey,
our aircraft carriers the Hornet and...

...the Enterprise with less escorting left
the United States two weeks after we did.

They've followed our course.

At the present time,
they're approaching this position.

The purpose of this combined operation
is the first bombing of Japan.

Sit down.

Lieutenant Raymond
will tell you your mission.

The bombing planes must have
vital information necessary...

...to a successful bombing operation.

The weather, shore installations,

barrage balloon positions and the number
location of Japanese ships in the bay.

We'll get that information to them by radio.

After you are ashore, the Copperfin will
proceed as near as possible to Tokyo.

We'll obtain supplement with data
that our fliers need on that city.

- That information will be transferred to you.
- Pardon me, sir, but...

- ...how we know our way around
when we get onshore?
- I was raised in Japan.

We've chosen a spot that I know very well.

- Isn't the coast line one city
after another, sir?
- Oh, no.

Actually,
it's very similar to that of California.

The spot we've picked is a lonely one.

This special clothing
has been provided for you.

- Anything wrong, sir?
- Oh, no.

No, we always dim the lights
45 minutes before we surface.

It allows our eyes to get accustomed
to the darkness.

If you run into any geisha girls on
any porches just out of any bathtubs...

...don't pick any roses.

Shore party to the conning tower.

- Good luck, Wolf.
- Don't forget that bottle of sake.

- Good luck, Wolf.
- Give the emperor a boot for me, will you?

See that Nita doesn't get lonesome
while I'm gone.

Be good.

- So long, guys.
- So long, Wolf.

- Ready to go, sir.
- Stand by in the conning tower, Wolf.

- Aye, aye, sir.
- Send us a postcard, kid.

- Happy landings, fella.
- Lot of luck, pal.

- Good luck.
- Wolf, don't take any wooden yen.

- Say, Wolf, how come they picked you?
- I don't know.

Strong arms, strong back, weak mind.

- Pass the word, battle stations.
- Battle stations.

Battle stations.

Stand by to surface.

- Soundman, make another check.
- All clear, sir.

Blow negative.

- Put a bubble in safety.
- Bubble in safety.

All ahead one-third.
Plane up to periscope depth.

Once you're in the boat, we'll submerge
and proceed north to Tokyo...

...to get the necessary information.

If all goes well, we'll return
to this position tomorrow night...

...and surface at 0130.

One of you will come out to meet us in the
boat to get the Tokyo and Yokohama data.

We'll submerge again and await completion
of your shortwave to the Hornet.

- Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.
- At 0330, we'll surface again.

If you've completed your transmission
and are ready to return to the ship...

- ...what letter will you flash?
- C if it's clear.

- C.
- And if a Jap patrol is onshore?

- J.
- J.

- J.
- Right.

Then you return to cover until the next night.

We won't respond to your signal of course,
but we'll be here...

...every night at the same time
until your mission is completed.

Any questions?

Vent safety. All stop.
Make another sweep, soundman.

- All clear, sir.
- Up scope.

Boat detail, stand by.

Down scope.

Surface.

Douse the lights.

Douse that hatch light.

Crack the hatch.

All clear aft.

All clear port.

All clear starboard.

Boat detail, on deck.
Load the gear. Step lively.

Get your eyes accustomed to the night.

You might get a medal of this
if you keep your skins whole.

- We'll work along those lines, sir.
- If you don't mind, sir,
I'll work hard keeping my skin whole.

- Well, good luck, Raymond.
- Thank you, sir.

- Good luck, Wolf.
- Thank you.

- Good luck, Sparks.
- Thank you, sir.

Wish I were going with them.

Are you kidding? I need you onboard.
I might break a leg.

Stand by to dive.

Figured out how close we can get to Tokyo,
Andy?

Course is charted, Captain.

Let's pull the cork.

Get loaded. Head up the trail to the top.

You know, we're kind of like the pilgrims
on Plymouth Rock.

62,2.

59,5.

88.

You picking up anything, Sparks?

Tokyo Rose, giving out with that nightly
guff to the USA listen to this.

...and never been defeated in a war.

The sooner you Americans realize
that Japan is invincible, the better.

So perfect is the iron ring of defense
the great leaders have built around us...

...that no American ship dares approach
within 500 miles of sacred shores.

The submarine menace
has been entire removed.

The American Navy is afraid
to tell its people of tremendous losses...

...suffered at the hands of
the Imperial Japanese fleet. The American...

Listen Lieutenant, if you don't need me
for a while, I'll thumb a ride to Tokyo...

...and silence that dame, but good!

Two flattops building on the ship's ways.

One heavy cruiser in dock, three outside.

Barrage balloons over large steel plant.

Oil storage tanks on rise to the south.

Here comes a tin can. Down scope.

Take her down to 100.

Coming this way. Close now.

Let's hope they're not listening
in their own harbor.

Passing over now.

Steady on course 1-7-3.

- How's the lunch?
- Can use.

So then the Captain blew up
the power station,

and that silenced the shore batteries.

And then we pumped a dozen fish
into the balance of the convoy...

...and then we beat it.

I guess that was the biggest kick
of the year, eh, Captain?

Well, it was a kick, all right.

But I think the biggest kick I got
last year happened on dry land.

Oklahoma City.

I took my little boy to the barbershop
to get his first haircut with me.

I put him up on that little board
they use for children, you know.

I told the barber to give him a Navy haircut.

I just sat down and watched.

Well, my boy asked the barber if he'd please
cut it so his hair would drop down...

...in front of his eyes. He'd like to see it fall.

All the men waiting their turns
were grinning at me.

Well, my boy just sat up there,
not saying anything, just looking at me...

...very proud.

Just looking at me with his eyes warm.

It was my turn next.

My little fellow asked the barber, please
sit down on my lap while I got my haircut?

Well, the barber knew the boy and I
don't see very much of each other...

...and he said, "Sure."

So Michael climbed up on my lap.

Oh, I guess it really wasn't much...

...but after a while
he put his head back on my shoulder...

...and looked at all the men
waiting their turns... and said:

"This is my daddy."

Just something in the way he said it.

But that was my biggest kick of last year.

Captain, there's a lad forward, Tommy
Adams, with a high fever, sir, 103.

- Well, what's the matter, son?
- I got a fire in my stomach, sir.

- I'll be all right.
- You don't look too good.

- You sure picked a fine time to get sick.
- I'm sorry, sir.

Take him to my quarters.

- What have you done for him?
- Well...

When a guy gets a bellyache,
I usually give him a pill, this is different.

With that temperature,
this is more than a bellyache.

That's why I came to you, sir.

What do you think?

If it's what I think it is, I'm afraid to find out.

Go ahead.

Easy does it. Easy.

What's the matter with me, Pills?

Just relax, kid. You'll be all right.

- Well?
- Listen, Captain, I'm not a doctor.

All I know is first aid and handing out pills.
I'm not a doctor.

- All right, you're not a doctor.
- I can't be sure.

I mean, I am sure,
and I don't know what to do about it.

- It's appendicitis, isn't it?
- Yes, sir.

- He has to have an operation right away.
- Can you do it?

- Do what, sir?
- Operate on him.

- I don't know, sir. I never tried.
- I can't help it. Do you try or not?
You know how.

- I've seen a few appendicitis.
- You remember what you saw?

- Not enough.
- You got a book, aren't you?

- I got The Hospital Corps handbook.
- And a book on anatomy with picture?

I can't guarantee anything.
What if I killed him?

What are his chances if you don't operate?

He hasn't a prayer. He'll die.

Okay, then we operate.

- How do you feel, son?
- Kind of sick.

- I'm sorry, sir, I...
- Don't be.

You know what you've got?
Acute appendicitis.

- Don't worry about me, sir.
- Pills, give it to him straight.

Listen, kid. I'm just a pharmacist's mate.

I'm all right on vitamins, sun lamps and
pills, but... operations are out of my line.

You need an operation, bad.

You'll be dead in a couple of days
if you don't have it right away.

I trust you, Pills.

You know what you're saying?
I can't promise you anything.

Sure, I know.

- When do we get underway?
- You got plenty of what it takes, kid.

You rest easy.

I appreciate all you're doing, sir.

I guess you've got plenty worries
of your own.

We'll do the best we can for you, son.

So I need muscle retractors, scalpels
and clamps.

- Let's see those pictures.
- I can rig a landing light for you.
- Here's be good.

These knives are the metal
of the finest steel reserved.

We could just get someone to grind them
down into scalpels whoever you calling.

Give it to me. I'll grind them.

Don't worry, Pills.
I can make these things.

Let me take your book with me.

Where do you think you'll do it, Pills?

Why, I guess one of these mess tables
is best.

- All squared away?
- Oh, I think so, sir.

You may have to take the angle
off the table.

Yes, sir.

Destroyer passing aft
from port to starboard.

When she's gone,
take her to the bottom.

We're gonna operate
on one of the men.

Aye, aye, sir.

I came as near the pictures as I could, Pills.

Didn't waste time
except on the working ends.

Thanks, Chief.
Give them to Cookie to boil.

Okay, Doc.

- Did you find the ether?
- Yes, sir.

Good. I think I can administer it.

We'd better grease his face
against ether burns out.

- Where's the stuff, Pills? I'll get it.
- In my kit. The white vaseline.

Cookie's been working
on the ether cone, sir.

Well, here it is. It's only a tea strainer,
but I hope it'll do the work.

It should.

Tommy, when you come out of this,
you order anything you like. I'll cook for you.

Start cooking
a pumpkin pie now, Cookie.

Pumpkin pie it is, with spanked cream.

There wasn't a bug on me, kid.
I didn't kill precisely.

It's all sterilized, just like a hospital.

Thanks, Cookie.

You better go back to your quarters.
I'll keep you informed.

Yes, sir. We'll see you, Tommy.

Course is charted, Pills.

Sounds like dead reckoning, sir.

Can I have somebody read out the book
I wanna know something fast?

I'll do it, Pills.

I won't read anything wrong, Tommy.

Don't worry, kid.
Your back's against the wall...

...but you'll come through all right.
You got friends pulling for you.

Thanks, Tin Can.

- Ready for sea, Pills?
- Ready for sea, kid.

I want you to know
that whatever happens, it's okay.

I know you'll do your best.

Thanks, kid.

Everything secure?

Everything secure, sir.

I always say my prayers, sir.

So do I, son.

- Go ahead.
- God bless Mom and Dad.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

- Breathe deeply, son.
- Thy kingdom come...

How long has it been?

An hour.

Smell that ether?

The pressure in the boat
makes it affect everybody.

Sponge, please.

"After applying the three clamps
to the appendiceal base..."

"...and before the appendix is divided, the
area is walled off with gauze packs..."

"...to avoid any possible contamination
or injury to the surrounding structures."

- How long has it been?
- Hour and a half.

"Traction is then made
on the fixed end..."

"...of the pursestring suture
by pulling it upward."

More sulfa?

He can't pull through.

I'm taking too long.
I did my best, but he can't.

Finish your job. The ether's gone.

Finished.

And lead us not into temptation...

...but deliver us from evil...

...for thine is the kingdom...

...and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

All right, Wolf, let's get going.

Two carriers.

Four heavy cruisers.

Seven destroyers in the bay.

Over the city.

Barrage balloons
over the Mitsubishi factory.

That's where the Zeros come from.

Over the Nagoya plant...

...about twenty.

- Nice dogs.
- So well-trained.

- Ready and waiting, sir.
- Enjoy your shore leave?

- Yes, sir.
- Everything okay?

- Yes, sir.
- Here's the Tokyo-Yokohama dope.

We'll surface again at 0330.
Good luck.

Ready to broadcast, sir.

- Give me the time, Sparks.
- Five seconds to go.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Get it, Hornet. Get it sweet and clear.

Three.

Four.

Message from the Copperfin
coming in, sir.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

- Start recording.
- One.

Two.

Three.

I'll report to the admiral.

- Copperfin contacted, sir. Report coming in.
- Good.

As soon as the message is complete,
rush the records to decoding.

If the Japs pick it up,
they'll think it's one of their own guys.

Stand by the antenna.

I picked up a motor sound, Lieutenant.

Hold the boat. Stand by to shove off.

Stand by to pick up shore party.
They're shoving off.

Picking up something
on the promontory, Andy. Check it.

Jap patrol. Lookouts below.
Stand by to dive.

Duck!

Get going. Hurry. Hurry.

Come on. Come on.

Give that gear the deep six.

- Down the hatch, on the double.
- Come on, Chief.

Pull the cork!

- All ahead full.
- All ahead full.
- Level off at 100 feet.

Home sweet home.

Copperfin, sweetheart, I love you.

You won't run into
much interference here.

Two man whom making the Tokyo run last...

...have to do some plain
and fancy hedgehopping on road.

The weather reports from the Copperfin
are in the hands of the navigators.

The Navy has done a great job
of coordination. The rest is up to us.

Any questions?

One last reminder, fellas.
Double-check your pockets.

Make sure you have nothing on you that
would give information to the enemy.

No man taking off is to have any means
of identification whatsoever.

Who you are, where you're came from
or where you're going.

When you landings China, don't order
chop suey. That's strictly American dish.

Good luck, happy landings,
and God bless you.

Pilots, man your planes!

- So long, Joe!
- I got those.

I drop it for you, Lieutenant.

I'll see you that you get them back
personally, fellas.

Hey, boy! Go get them, Butch!

Don't sorry, please.

Attention, officers and men
of the attack force.

Every man on this ship and every man
in the Navy wishes you the best of luck.

Stand by to start engines.

Start engines.

Here come up our boys.

I hear Japs are happy to die
for their emperor.

A lot of them are going to be made
very happy.

Take a look at the results
of your broadcast, Ray.

- They're dropping eggs all over the place,
men, smack on the target.
- Yeah!

Terrific! How do you like that, huh?

Take a look, Andy.

Small ships, bearing 2-2-5.

Minesweepers, running interference
for the big babies.

Yap, part planes are chasing
the rats out of their nests.

- Down scope!
- All ahead full.

All ahead full, sir.

They'll lower the gate to let
the capital ships out in a hurry. And us.

We'll take it through the gate
wide-open.

Christoforo Columbo! Here comes
a flattop with a destroyer screen.

Their planes are taking off to tackle ours.

Stand by for a setup.

Mark, bearing 2-9-0.

Angle on the bow, 20 degrees starboard.

Range, 6,000.

Estimated speed, 20 knots. Down scope.

Steady on course 0-8-5.
All ahead full.

- Make all tubes ready for firing.
- Make all tubes ready for firing.

Torpedo setting, 12 feet, high speed.
Firing order, one, three, four, two.

Firing bearing 3-3-8.

Fire one.

- Give me a time check.
- Four seconds.

- Five seconds.
- Fire three.

Fire four.

Fire two.

Down scope.

21 seconds, 22 seconds, 23 seconds.

Missed him with number one.

- That was mine!
- It was mine!

- Yours not to be true.
- What... Number one!

Take her under the carrier. We'll finish
the job with the sting from our tail.

Stand by stern tubes.

Fire five.

Fire six.

Fire eight.

Fire seven.

Take her down. Rig for depth charge.

Take the angle off the boat.

Zero dive bubbles.
Level off at 150 feet.

Hang on, boys, it's gonna get rougher.

- All rigged for depth charges, kid?
- Yes, sir.

When you hear the metallic
click-click, hang on.

- See what I mean?
- Sure giving them a licking, aren't we, sir?

Yeah.

You'll pay off for this too,
you dirty snipes.

You know, Nita, I think they found out
where we are.

Switch to emergency lighting.

I bet you 5 bucks the next one
drops on the starboard side.

I'll take it.

Hey, fellas... the next war,
I'm going to the Ozarks and hide.

Oh, Duke.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, skip it, Cookie.

I'd rather get wet that way than
have Jap seawater pour on me.

All stop. We'll trying
coast out from under them.

- Congratulations, Wolf.
- On what?

It's an hour since me reminded
you with a dame.

Sorry, honey.

The Exec told me to rope you in.

What makes the metallic clicks
before the depth charges?

Oh, we figure it's the detonator
going off before the main charge.

Here's a pencil, kid. Skipper won't mind
if you keep score on his bulkhead.

- All ahead full.
- Shoot me a toolbox!

All secured, sir.

Hello, Ray. Want something to lean on?
There's plenty more coming.

Well... anyway, Tokyo got its face lifted.

And we got ourselves a flattop.

Captain.

- I'm no good.
- Why not?

- Scared stiff.
- How do you think the rest of us feel?

You're not scared.

- I've looked at your faces.
- I looked at yours too.

- It's the same as the others.
- You're scared?

I'll say I am.

So is everyone else.

What's the matter with you, Cookie?
You scared?

No. I was just checking
my grocery stores.

Would any of you fellas be interested
in a 1938 motor scooter?

It's no good, Chief.
We're taking a lot of water, sir.

We get one leak wedged,
and another one starts.

- Captain to the phone.
- Phone, Captain.

- Yeah?
- Bad leaks in the after-room, Skipper.

- Haven't been able to stop them.
- Well... maybe we've lost the Nips.

I'll take a chance on the pumps.

Start drain pumps
on the after-bilges and stand by.

Salt tablets to make up
for what you sweated out.

Thanks.

Do you guys want cotton
for your ears?

If it gets that close,
you won't need cotton.

Pills, do you think prayers do
any good?

Yes, they do.

I know they do.

Secure the pump!

Give me another wedge!

Captain on the phone, sir.

You'll have to plug the leaks
as best you can, Andy.

- Those Japs are too smart for us.
- We'll do our best.

Back home, we'd call this fun.

If they don't stop those leaks aft, we'll
be headed for the bottom, stern first.

That's a pretty pattern, that one.

I wonder how the invasion
of Europe first Jerry along.

Water getting higher
in the after-room, sir.

Come on! Fill them up!
Those are not finger bowls!

We're finished! We can't take
any more of this. We're finished!

Shut up, Dakota. Don't yell.

Skipper's got to get us out of this.
I've got to see the Skipper!

Let go!

- I'm sorry I had to sock you.
- It was either your chin or the boat.

There's nothing else we could do.

We gotta take it.
We can't win if we can't take it.

Don't you know that?

This ship's taken more
than she should have to.

Anybody hurt back there?

Several.

Pills is fixing them up.

The batteries are low.

If we don't surface soon...

Well, I think we're all tired
of getting pushed around.

How many destroyers
do you count, soundman?

Only one for the moment, sir.

Let's take a crack at that Jap.
All ahead full.

- Ready on the bow tubes.
- Ready on the bow tubes.

- Bring her up smartly.
- Switch to power operation.

Full rise on the bow planes.

Close vents.

- Destroyer bearing.
- 0-1-5.

Vents closed, sir.

- Stand by the bow tubes.
- Standing by forward, sir.

He's spotted us. Here he comes.

We'll only get one chance at him.

Make it good.

Stand by to fire.

Stand by.

Stand by.

Stand by.

Fire one!

Fire two!

- We got him!
- Yippie-ha!

- Yes, we got him!
- Sweetheart, I love you!

- Yeah, we got him!
- Oh, brother.

There he goes...

...down for the deep six.

Let's get out of here.

Look, Chief.

I wonder if they're going
where we've been.

Could be.

Hey, Eddie, do you think that sub
down there saw any action?

No, probably just out
for a couple of practice dives.

I'm hopping the first train
back to the farm...

...and I'm busting open up
a big barrel of cider just for me.

I'm going to a platter shop, and I'm
gonna get drunk on Dinah Shore records.

Every night for weeks,
I've been dreaming of green vegetables.

Four heads of lettuce, all in a row.

Boy, I'm dreaming of something else.

Well, there'll be somebody hanging
over a hot stove for me for a change.

Me, I'm gonna take my girl out
in a canoe and propose to her.

Gonna get married and have seven kids.

You wait till I'm a doctor,
I'll deliver them for you free.

Hey, that reminds me, I want
a picture of that scar of you...

...to put on the wall of my office
when the war's over.

It's like Mike said. When you're here,
you wish you were back out there.

Won't be such a long time
between beers now, Captain.

For a moment, I thought I saw
my wife and kids on that dock.

I couldn't be that lucky.

Well, maybe wives have a way of knowing
when their men are coming home, Captain.

Take another look.

You're right.

I couldn't be that lucky.

But I am.

To the United States Navy, our thanks
for making this picture possible.

To the gallant officers and men
of the silent service...

...to our submarines,
now on war patrol in hostile waters...

...good luck and good hunting.
