1
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,240
so

2
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
so

3
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,719
the first time i saw her was at the

4
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,960
naval air station in alameda california

5
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,880
on a morning in february 1945.

6
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,159
you'd have never known to look at her

7
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,000
that she was a battle-scarred veteran

8
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,840
who had fought bravely in the philippine

9
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,040
sea and had practically been destroyed

10
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,479
when i thought of what this carrier had

11
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:17,600
been through

12
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,080
how she'd fought with flying colors

13
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,960
i was proud to be assigned to her

14
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,360
i'd heard a lot about her captain too

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360
i was very anxious to meet him maybe a

16
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,280
little nervous even because he was

17
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,680
supposed to be as tough as the ship

18
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,439
he was reputed to be one of the toughest

19
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,759
men in the navy to serve under

20
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,400
whether he was a fair man too or just

21
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,280
tough

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,960
time would tell

23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,720
in a little while now i'd meet him

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,240

00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,480

about it

319
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,199
got a raw deal

320
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,639
they promoted a guy with half my

321
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,399
experience i've got more sense than a

322
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:40,800
lot of those dopes wearing chiefs hats

323
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
i'm a high school graduate

324
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,560
oh a high school man

325
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,480
but uh

326
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,160
by your behavior you're proving they

327
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,079
were right

328
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:54,880
i got a sneaking idea they were wrong

329
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,160
wouldn't be trying to sell me a bill of

330
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,320
goods would you father like religion for

331
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,240

333
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,800
sooner or later i get around to it

334
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,720
but right now all i'm trying to do is

335
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,320
straighten out a fellow who's headed the

336
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,560
wrong way

337
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,320
your hatred doesn't hurt anybody but

338
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,440
yourself

339
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,360

340
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,199

341
00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:19,600

381
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,560
to me after she was hit by a job suicide

plane and i brought her back for repairs

383
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,279
she's my first big command he forgot to

384
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:58,639
tell your father

385
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,240
the captain took an emotion in order to

386
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,000
take over command of this ship well that

387
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,839
demotion wasn't much of a sacrifice i

388
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:05,520
was a fighter pilot for years flew off

389
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,880
the old langley

390
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,480
i always wanted to command a carrier

391
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:11,760
i've done just about everything in this

392
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,799
navy

393
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,199

395
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,280
man on what they call a mustang

396
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,880
and the fact that i began at the bottom

397
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,039
has always been a kind of a challenge

398
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:24,799
yes i can understand that that's my wife

399
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:26,559
and daughter leslie

400
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:28,319

405
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:38,880
i'd like to be a break for leslie

406
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,440
it is

407
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,640
we'll be the flagship of a task group

408
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720
dedicated to a difficult dangerous

409
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,000
mission

410
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,840
we've got a great crew but during the

411
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,440
session in drydock with so much leave

412
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,679
the usual thing happened they slack off

413
00:17:53,679 --> 00:17:54,960
the men have been getting a little out

414
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,320

00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,880

this is an order from the captain

422
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:27,520
a message has just been received which

423
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,679

424
00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:31,679
of the day after

425
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:34,240
for this reason he regrets to announce

426
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,160
that all leave and liberty must be

427
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,559

about this picks up a standard they

431
00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:46,000

432
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,640

he saw her if he finds out

1154
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:16,319
it's him i came to talk about

1155
00:51:16,319 --> 00:51:18,079
he's in a jam

1156
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:19,920
what's on your mind

1157
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:20,880
well

1158
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,119
i've been turret gunner on pizza

1159
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:25,839
excuse me on mr kelly's plane ever since

1160
00:51:25,839 --> 00:51:28,400
the group started forming in santa rosa

1161
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,160
we get sort of close to our pilot but

1162
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,920
with him depending on us and we depended

1163
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,760
on him

1164
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,319
you see mr kelly's got a wife he's crazy

1165
00:51:36,319 --> 00:51:38,480
about now family's on the way and he's

1166
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,160
all upset

1167
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,760
i guess you'd be kind of upset if you

1168
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,640
were gonna have twins

1169
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,279
a little

1170
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,559
well

1171
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:49,920
he had to ditch a plane once in

1172
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,319
pensacola and he nearly got drowned

1173
00:51:52,319 --> 00:51:54,800
he ain't scared of it sir but a guy with

1174
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,400
his responsibilities wouldn't be blamed

1175
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,040
for being sort of careful

1176
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,599
he should have taken that wave off

1177
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:02,960
but i'll bet even you might have pulled

1178
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,400
a crazy stunt like that when you were a

1179
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,040
young pilot

1180
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,800
i might have

1181
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,240
i was kelly's concerned i can't tell you

1182
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,319
what my decision will be until i see the

1183
00:52:14,319 --> 00:52:17,119
findings of the trouble

1184
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,480
couldn't you pull foreign rank on the

1185
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,640
board captain

1186
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,000
you think the captain ought to do that

1187
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,359
well

1188
00:52:25,359 --> 00:52:27,920
maybe not

1189
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,280
honest i hate to keep plugging like this

1190
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,720
but couldn't you give me just a little

1191
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,400
hope

1192
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,839
well you know my decision will have to

1193
00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:37,440
be based on what i think is best for the

1194
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,559
ship

1195
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:40,400
but what you've told me about mr kelly

1196
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,720
will make my decision easier i hope i'll

1197
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,440
be able to restore him to flying duty

1198
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,880

00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,000

means to me

1203
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,520

1204
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,400

01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,400
just keep these fires down thanks for

1502
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,159
the air cover admiral most of them are

we have two boilers lighted by morning

1506
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,159
we expect to proceed under our own power

1507
01:13:12,159 --> 01:13:14,000
destroyers will run anti-sub patrols

1508
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,199

1514
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,840
the next day our ship was barely afloat

1515
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,600
the enemy bombs had wreaked havoc

1516
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:42,960
everywhere

1517
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,320
and it was a question whether we'd be

1518
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,840
able to make it back to you literally or

1519
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,000

here the job of cleaning up began

1559
01:16:04,159 --> 01:16:06,640
we had a crippled ship but after two

1560
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,560
tries the enemy had still not been able

1561
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,840
to make a ghost ship out of it

1562
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,719
what about the man who died here father

1563
01:16:22,719 --> 01:16:25,520
i wonder if they resent my being alive

1564
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,640
if they feel somehow i let them down

1565
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,440
i don't think so

1566
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:34,320
how can i plead my case to a jury of

1567
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,920
dead men there's no common language

1568
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,159
they know captain

1569
01:16:40,159 --> 01:16:42,559
they know

1570
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:45,840
i suppose when we get home they'll have

1571
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,719
a band to meet us

1572
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,320
no band will ever play loud enough for

1573
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,080
those poor kids that missed muster this

1574
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,400
morning

1575
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:01,679
we were not out of danger yet however

1576
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:03,199
we still had to take the ship back to

1577
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:06,800
the brooklyn navy yard 12 000 miles away

1578
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,520
the job seemed almost insurmountable

1579
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,760
we had only 700 men out of the original

1580
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,000
3 000 with whom to take the ship safely

1581
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:14,960
home

1582
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,800
and there was the possibility every inch

1583
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,280
of the way of attack by plane or by

1584
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,560
submarine

1585
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,239
men now had more than home on their

1586
01:17:22,239 --> 01:17:23,520
minds

1587
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,239
they had prayers on their lips

1588
01:17:26,239 --> 01:17:28,080
on the way to hawaii

1589
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,159
we held a memorial service for those who

1590
01:17:30,159 --> 01:17:31,679
had given their lives

after we had honored the dead

1594
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,600

01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,120
as we sighted pearl harbor

1615
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,920
one thought was uppermost in our wines

1616
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,360
six thousand more miles to go

1617
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,120
the possibility of enemy attack was

1618
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:52,320
still imminent

1619
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:56,159
we were kept on the alert day of night

1620
01:18:56,239 --> 01:18:59,120
home was only 1500 miles in a few days

1621
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,440
away as we steamed through the panama

1622
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:03,360
canal

1623
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,360
every minute was bringing us closer and

1624
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,600
closer to our loved ones our country

1625
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,000
slowly our war-weary ship made its way

1626
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,040
up the atlantic coast to new york harbor

1627
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,800
the five days seemed endless

1628
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,600
the statue of liberty had never looked

1629
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,199
so young and beautiful as on that day

1630
01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:28,159
she stood for everything we'd fought for

1631
01:19:28,159 --> 01:19:30,480
everything we'd hoped for

1632
01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:31,920
and none of us would ever forget our

01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,960
whose courage had proved worthy of the

1635
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,080
ship and worthy of our trust

1636
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,239
what was left of our band would express

1637
01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:41,920
better than words

1638
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,860
