I hope they get here
'fore daylight.

- Sure glad to see you, sir.
- Here's what held us up.

Oh, a baby. Gee, he's red.

'All new babies are red.'

Oh, Sister Anna, Sister Felicia,
this is Mr. Caldwell.

We have a couple life rafts.

We'll get you all aboard
the Thunder.

If you'll step this way please.

Sister Anna, if you'll go
with Mr. Caldwell

and three children
with you, please.

And the other sister,
will you come with me please?

- You know Jonesy, sir.
- Yes, I know Jonesy.

And I'll give him
about one more minute.

Mr. Caldwell, what have you
got there?

It's a baby, captain.

A baby?

Well, where is Commander Gifford?

He's in the next boat, captain.

What do you got there, Jonesy?

A souvenir, sir.

'You were ordered
to avoid trouble.'

Oh, it wasn't any trouble, sir.

Uh, natural causes.
He tripped over me.

I couldn't leave him, sir.

You said not to let
the Japs know we were here.

Hey, this fellow's breathing.

Well, stub him under a tree where

he'll be quiet for a while
and let's get out of here.

Aye, aye, sir.

All ahead, standard.

Pile it in there, Cookie.
These kids look mighty hungry.

Tell them they can have
all the seconds they want.

- Alright, here we are.
- I don't like milk.

- Oh, sure you do.
- 'Be sure to blow on it.'

Ran for the tree seeing
the fox was right behind him.

So he goes up the tree..

Okay. Here, sister.

Bless this boat
and the crew, oh, Lord

and the gifts that we are about
to receive through thy bounty.

Amen.

Landing party report, huh?

Yes, sir, I hope
I got everything in there.

It should be. Five pages.

- You think the captain will like it?
- I'm sure he will.

I can tell you exactly what
he'll say in his patrol report.

What, sir?

- "Special mission accomplished."
- Yes, sir.

- Oh.
- Hey, put me down!

Children, children, come, come.
Be quiet. Quiet, quiet.

Come, come, come.

Oh.

Pass the word,
main induction closed.

- Flood negative.
- Flood negative.

- Release air.
- Release air, sir.

Green board.

Pressure in the boat.

- Hold at periscope depth.
- Hold at periscope depth.

- Radar report.
- 'Several targets.'

'Bearing 0-47 degrees true.'

Distance to center of formation?

'Two six thousand yards.

Close ship in formation,
bearing 0-40 degrees.

- All ahead, full.
- 'Steady on course 3-2-0.'

'All impulses,
steady on course 3-2-0.'

- Commence the plot.
- Aye, aye, sir.

Up scope.

'Bearing Mark, 3-5-8.'

'Range, Mark, 2200.'

Carrier.

Repeat.

It's a jackpot, sir.

We can fire anytime, sir.

Stand by to fire all tubes.

Stand by to fire all tubes.

Baby!

'Kids!'

- I'll get you.
- I'll get you.

Watch those children.
Hey, grab that kid!

Here, sonny. Sister Anna.

Better get these kids out of here.

Number one fired.

'Number two fired.'

Torpedoes exploded halfway
to the target.

- Mr. Caldwell, take over.
- Aye, aye, sir.

Sister Anna, we better
get these children out of here.

- Come on. Quick, quick.
- Take her down fast.

Hurry it up!

Don't let the big bad destroyer
get you.

Rig for depth charge.
Rig for silent running.

Hang on, Sister Anna,
it may get a little sticky.

Don't mind that, kids.

Take a look at Butch.

After five special missions,
we line up a submariner's dream

and what happens?

Torpedoes explode halfway
to the target. Take over, Duke.

'No power on diving rudders.
Shift to hand power.'

'Hard dive. All ahead, full.
Level her off.'

Leak in forward torpedo room.

- Is there anything we can do?
- Just spit teeth and cut!

Sorry, sister, didn't see you.

That's alright, go ahead.
I'll spit teeth.

Sound?

Listens like he kept right on
going after the convoy.

Mm-hm.

No more propellers.

He's gone.

Gone, huh?

They must have rolled that one
off a sailboat.

Well, sister, how'd you..

Mr. Caldwell, remind me
to write a letter

to the builders of this boat.

'Aye, aye, sir.
What did you wanna say?'

"Dear builders...thanks."

- What's for chow, Cookie?
- Creamed rubber gloves.

- Creamed what?
- Rubber gloves.

There's a rubber glove in one pan
and there's milk in the other one.

'Well, I'm a monkey's uncle.
Who ordered that?'

'The exec.'

- It's hot.
- Fine time to tell me.

Good.

And this is where my brother
came in.

Come on, Butch.

'Feedbag.'

Some things kinda
crowd a man, don't they?

Those nuns, wonderful,
just wonderful.

Never a whimper out of them.

Some of them walked 40 miles..

...clear across the island
right through..

...jungles and the Japs and..

...nothing to protect them
but a...string of beads.

And the kids..

We couldn't carry 'em all.

They didn't understand,
so they'd cry.

We couldn't let 'em cry
'cause they'd give us away.

And that baby.

The mother didn't have a chance.

But the kid

he pops into the world,
we spank him on the bottom

and wrap him in a blanket
and let's go.

'He's a game little guy.'

You ever hear from Mary Stuart?

Nope.

Did you know she was in Honolulu?

I heard it in Brisbane.

I liked her.

I married her.

I never saw two people start out

with so many things go on for 'em.

Army Navy games

parties at the Bellevue Stratford

hops at the academy

graduation.

'Hats in the air...wedding
in the chapel, honeymoon.'

And then the submarine school.

Cold, wet winters at New London.

Sea duty.

No home, no leave.

It takes more than that
to cause a split up.

When a gal like Mary Stuart
marries into the Navy

she signs on for that stuff.

Not for what I dished out.

The eager beaver.

I was at sea
on a volunteer mission.

Making test runs
with that new sonar equipment

when my son was born.

Five weeks later,
I was down 240 feet

trying to get a line
around the Squalus when he died.

Like you say..

...some things
kind of crowd a man.

What's the matter?

Oh, that baby kind of got to him.

Baby? Him?

Yeah, him.

Well, mister. What is it?

Damage control report, sir.

Commander, submarine Thunder
to COMSUBPAC, Pearl Harbor.

Women and children aboard.
Request ambulance and nurses.

Suggest Mary Stuart meet Thunder.

- Make it a priority message.
- Aye, sir.

Lieutenant, women and children
coming in aboard

the submarine Thunder.
Go pick them up.

- Thunder?
- Yes.

Commander Steele,
I'd like to be excused.

My ex-husband's on that boat.

But I thought you wanted to meet him.

I do.

But on the Thunder,
I'll be the visiting team.

I'd like the first meeting
to be on my home ground.

Well, as your senior officer,
I should comply

with this request
and order you to go.

But as one woman to another,
how's your headache?

- Splitting.
- You're excused.

Thank you.

Attention!

Permission to come aboard, sir?

- Good afternoon, sir.
- Welcome to Pearl.

- How are you?
- Good to see you, sir.

- Good to see you.
- Hey, how're you doing?

- Hello, captain.
- Well..

Somebody enjoyed himself
in Australia.

Yes, sir.
Nice people down there, sir.

Yeah, we're happy
to be home too, sir.

- Uh, chief?
- Good afternoon, sir.

What's the matter?
You look worried.

I lost one of my children, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Shall we go below, gentlemen?

'Sorry about your carrier, Pop.'

We contacted the Sarasota,
and her plane's

got the cruiser
and two destroyers.

The carrier got away.

Well, better luck next patrol.

We would have racked her up
ourselves, admiral

except for those two prematures
that rattled our eyeteeth.

What are we gonna do about
those torpedoes?

Sure knocked the bottom
out of my gang.

Those magnetic exploders
are driving us all crazy.

Everybody from the Bureau of
Ordinance on down is working on it.

We're doing something.
We're dropping them next patrol.

Good.

We're going back
to contact exploders.

Maybe we can get a few hits now.

- Here's our patrol report, sir.
- 'Captain, captain.'

- Yes.
- 'Sister Anna is leaving.'

- 'And wants to say goodbye.'
- Go ahead, Pop.

Oh, Duke, you brought 'em
aboard. You take the bow.

Bows we take together.

- Bye bye.
- Bye bye.

- Take it easy.
- Bye bye.

Bye. Be good. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- So long.

Bye.

Sister Anna,
we've been looking for you.

Commander Gifford.

We've been wondering
what to say after thank you.

Oh, why don't you just
let it go at that?

It's been a pleasure
to have you aboard, sister.

Tonight in chapel I know
the words will come to me.

I seem to think better
when I'm kneeling.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- What's the matter?
- Huh? Oh, oh, nothing.

Well, don't you think we'd
better get below with the braid?

Yeah, just a minute.
I'll be right back.

Oh, I-I'm sorry, nurse.
I-I thought she was some..

I thought you were somebody
else. I beg your pardon.

Think you knew her?

Well, there was a nurse
in Darwin and I..

We better get below.

Hey, Butch. Butch.

Butch.

Stop that. Do you wanna
have them all crying?

- Well, no, I was just--
- Where's your mask?

- Mask?
- Yes, mask. Over your nose.

You're breathing germs
in on those poor little things.

Where's yours?

- Are you the baby's father?
- No, I was..

Then you shouldn't be here
at all. Please leave at once.

But wait a minute, I carried
that baby

all the way through jungles,
helped deliver him.

Alright, now he's delivered.

As for the rest of it,
may I remind you

that this is not the jungle?
Good day.

Well, how do you like that?

All I wanna do is
say hello to Butch

and she comes charging in.

- Butch?
- Yeah, Butch the ba..

I suppose you don't like Butch
for a name.

I suppose I love it.

I knew a Butch.

It's still there, huh?

- What?
- That old zing.

Of course it's still there,
you big ape.

What do you think
could happen to it?

Those things you said
at the trial.

Do you think anybody ever tells
the real reason

for a divorce at the trial?

Then what was the real reason?

Just now, when I kissed you..

Well, that's where we were
four years ago.

Hey, I'm proud of you.
Where did you train?

General Hospital, Durham.

What did the gentleman
from North Carolina say?

Dad was all for it.

I told him
it was sort of a penance.

You felt like
you should do penance?

Well, I felt like
one of us should.

Penance.

I've been numb for four years

trying to figure
what happened to us.

We had something
but I guess I kicked it around.

Why don't we pick up the pieces
and start over?

What time do you get out of here?

6:30.

At 6:30, you pick up your hat

coat, stick and gloves
and we'll go out on that town.

- Wine?
- Wine, of course.

Remember that little hotel?

- The waiter asked about..
- The waiter asked about you..

- You too?
- Uh-huh.

After dinner we'll dance a while

and then we'll sneak away.
I know--

No, Duke, I've got a date.

- Break it.
- I can't.

It's with Bob Perry.
You ought to remember him.

Bob Perry? Little Bobby Perry?
Pop's kid brother?

What makes you think
he's such a kid?

Why, I used to pat him
on the head.

- You seen him recently?
- No.

Well, the next time you go
and pat him on the head

let me know, will you?
I wanna be there.

We'll take care of that later.
Now about--

Duke, I got a date.

Lieutenant.

It's alright, commander.

This is my headache.

Oh.

Oh, honey, I could never
marry a submariner.

I like to sleep
with the windows open.

- Mr. Caldwell is doing alright.
- He sure is.

Mm. Tasty. Special?

I promised somebody
I'd buy wine tonight.

Well, here we go.

Say, uh,
what ever happened to that..

...kid brother of yours?

Bob?

You'd never know him, Duke.

What a great, big, good looking
guy he turned out to be.

And what he does
to those gals. Heh.

He sure got all the glamour
in our family.

- Good evening.
- For two, please.

Right this way, please.

Look, Bob. It's Pop and Duke.

- Mary Stuart. Bob.
- Pop.

Duke, you remember Bob,
or don't you recognize him?

Oh, yes, fly-fly boy.

Sara. We got that cruiser for you.

If you run into any more good
targets just let us know.

We'll take care of them for you.

Don't say anything, Duke.

You know we can never hope for

any glory like they get.

You realize that, huh?

You know we can do things
you pigboat boys can never do--

Yes, sir, you sure can.

For instance there's no record
of a submarine ever sinking

one of our own planes by mistake.

- Alright, alright.
- Sit down.

The wine's good.
Duke's buying.

Oh, we'd like to but

Mary Stuart and I were
just about to dance.

You know it's funny thing
but Mary Stuart and I

were just about to dance.

Well, what do you say, sugar?

Well, it's a very funny thing

but I was just gonna ask Pop
to dance.

Excuse us.

What's the matter, cupid?

I read your wire.

You've been seeing a lot of Bob?

Uh-huh.

So we level, like always?

- Like always, Pop.
- Good.

I think you and Duke
belong together.

I don't know what's keeping
you apart but I'd hate to think

you were using my kid brother
to solve your problem.

Oh, why didn't I
meet you first, Pop?

Well, tell me about yourself.

Pop hasn't given me a rundown
for quite a while.

Oh, I'm a big disappointment
to my brother.

When I decided against that
Navy career, I, I stabbed him.

- Well, what did you wanna be?
- What do you mean, wanna be?

I am. An architect.

I build things.

You can't build much
from 10,000 feet

with a load of bombs.

There's a war on.

You know, Duke,
I've always envied you.

When I was a high school senior,
an all city tackle

you ran 92 yards for a touchdown
to beat army.

Then when I got to Stanford,
won the UCLA game

with a home run
in the ninth inning

papers were full of
what a big man you were

at the raising of
that sunken sub, remember?

There were 400 dives on that job.

- I made 10 of 'em.
- I know.

But you're the guy
they talked about.

And then when I joined up

got my picture
in the hometown paper

they crowded me off in a corner
with a story

about what a hero you were
at the bombing of Cavite.

And now, here we go again.

Aren't you dramatizing
this thing a little?

No. It's different this time.

You're not the hero.
You're the sucker.

Any man that would let
Mary Stuart get away from him

is a sucker.

I see what you mean.

But as the fellow says

"Like the ashes of Alexander,
I was once Alexander."

I'm not sure I get that.

But just to keep
the record straight

Mary Stuart and I
are gonna be married.

- You told her that?
- Several times.

What did she say?

Well, she didn't say no.

Excuse me.

- Cutting in, captain.
- Sure, Duke, sure.

You look wonderful tonight.
You know, I've always liked--

The kid says he asked you
to marry him.

How about it?

I had no idea it was so late.

Bob, I, I wanna explain
a little situation to you.

- Alright, Pop. You see--
- Oh.

Bob, will you get me back
before curfew?

- I sure will. Excuse me.
- Good night, Pop.

- Good night, Mary Stuart.
- Good night, Duke.

Thanks for the wine.

Big night for you.

Yes.

I enjoyed it.

He must be a nice guy.

Pop wouldn't have liked him, and
you wouldn't have married him.

So, how's it with us?
Still the same?

I wonder if it's ever
still the same

when a girl meets her ex-husband.

'I see what you mean.'

'I'll call you tomorrow.'

Please do.

Mary Stuart.

Duke.

You're still the softest
walking man I ever heard.

Kid says he asked you
to marry him.

That's right.

Gonna do it?

I don't know.

He wants to go someplace where
they never heard of the Navy.

And that appeals to you?

His idea is to
fly back to Wichita, Kansas

start walking inland
with a pair of oars

and when we get
to where somebody says

"What's that you got
on your shoulders?"

That's it.

Just tell me one thing.

When you kiss him
do you get that old zing?

Oh. Now you're talking
like a jealous husband.

Ex-husband,
and don't evade the question.

It's not a fair question.

A girl can't spend
the rest of her life kissing.

It's a good thing to fall back
on when you run out of talk.

If you wanted to be a nurse,
you didn't have to become a Navy nurse

be sent to Pearl
where you might see me.

Duke, I have a life of my own
to live.

I didn't wanna live it
being afraid to run into you.

So you ran into me.

What now?

I don't know.

It's not as simple as I thought.

It took a war
to make me understand

or maybe it's just
that I'm four years older.

But there hasn't been a day
that...you weren't with me..

...or a night

on patrol or ashore..

...in town or pushing some kids

through the jungles
with a baby in my arms.

Duke..

Especially with that baby
in my arms.

Duke, what good
will that kind of talk do now?

I'm trying to convince you
that I want another chance.

And I haven't much time
to plead my cause.

I called a chaplain friend of mine

and asked him to stand by.

We could have a few days
together before I shove off--

Wait a minute, Duke,
I didn't spend these years

to be rushed off my feet
by a white uniform

a big moon and
a perfume of ginger flowers.

Tree orchids.

You know what I mean.

You're thinking about the old zing

but I'm thinking about
the rest of my life.

I can't afford to make
another mistake.

The only mistake you made
was in getting that divorce.

We're both grown up now.

We could have grown up together.

Maybe I wasn't around a lot
of times I should have been

but I guarantee you
that I'm gonna spend

all the time I have off-duty
making it up to you.

Commander.

- Commander.
- What is it, chief?

I'd like to speak
to the commander, sir.

Excuse me, honey.

How'd you know where I was?

- Good evening, chief.
- Good evening, ma'am.

- Lieutenant.
- Yes, lieutenant, ma'am.

What's the trouble?

Well, a bunch of the guys
went to a luau.

You know, a roast pig,
okolehao, fresh from the still.

- Uh, hula girls--
- Yes, I know.

Well, you know Jonesy.

The Hawaiian police
tried to break it up

and then the shore patrol
got into it

and, of course,
somebody starts swinging.

Well, anyway, sir,
they're all being held down

at the shore patrol station.

A friend of mine phoned me.

Couldn't you and your friend
get them out?

No, ma'am, on account
of the Hawaiians

they want damages.

- This may be serious.
- I know.

You'd better go take care
of your Navy.

Go ahead.

Remember what I told you.

- I meant it. Let's go, chief.
- Yes, sir.

Thunder Crew, belay that racket!

- Look at my guitar, commander.
- Move.

Please, commander.
Look at my guitar!

Hello, Mick.

- You booked 'em yet, chief?
- Well, no, sir, we, uh--

We haven't booked them
because we haven't

figured out all the charges yet.

- That bad, huh?
- Worse.

It's hard to believe
about my crew.

Do you think they belong
in a nursery?

Think I've got 'em in there
for stealing somebody's dolls?

Give me that report, chief.

"In car number one, we were
cruising near Koko Head."

That's five miles
out of bounds, incidentally.

"Our attention was attracted
to a disturbance

"involving naval personnel.

"Investigation disclosed a dozen
of the Thunder Crew at a luau.

'"The Hawaiians were trying
to get them to leave'

'"it was past curfew.'

"They became noisy
and belligerent.

"When the Hawaiians sent
the hula girls home

a fight started."

I'd like to talk to the man
that made out that report.

Then you'll have to go
to the naval hospital.

He's in there
with five of my best men.

Now I know that
you submariners are practically

winning this war single-handed

but I don't see how fighting
with our shore patrolmen

is going to weaken the Japs.

Well, there must have been
great provocation for my gang

if it was my gang.

If it was your gang?

Bring those guys
from the Thunderfish out here.

'Come on, you Thunderbirds.'

Oh, no.

That's what I've been trying
to tell you.

Fall in to march over here!

Hurry it up!

Wipe those smiles off your face.

'All lively now!'

'Hurry it up!'

Right face!

- Jonesy.
- Yes, sir?

- Did you engineer this?
- No, sir.

Natural causes.

Could I talk to you
privately, commander?

You can talk to me
but it won't do you any good.

Fighting men, huh?

Not even the admiral
could get you out of this one.

Now, let's be reasonable
about this.

No, no, not a chance.

I'd like to help you, Duke,
but it's gotta stop someplace.

Night after night,
my men are getting knocked down

like ten pins, if it isn't
the Thunder, it's the Tang

or the Silversides
or the Oahu or the Growler.

- What makes you submariners--
- Listen, mate.

These kids have been out
on a tough patrol.

I know, I know,
you brought back some children.

- And two nuns.
- That still doesn't excuse..

Nuns, did you say?

And there's something else,
the kids don't know it

but they're going right out again.

Alright.

Alright, Duke,
I'll make a deal with you.

I'll forget my end of this
if you can fix up

the damages with the Hawaiians.

How much do they want?

Two hundred and thirty three
dollars and fifty cents.

Two hundred and thirty three
dollars and fifty cents?

There isn't that much
in the whole crew

including the officers!

It's the best I can do.

- Let me out, let me out!
- Take it easy, kid!

- What's the matter with you?
- I don't know, sir.

Somethin' went click
and here I am.

He was hit over the head
with a bottle, sir.

- A bottle of what?
- Okolehao, sir.

- Okolehao, huh?
- Yes, sir.

Intoxicating liquor.

Commander, I demand that you
throw these men in the brig

for selling bootleg okolehao
to my crew.

Please, commander, please.
We had a big luau, a big feast.

We had plenty of okolehao.
Good okolehao.

- Where'd you get it?
- We made it special.

That's what I mean.

How much are you trying
to collect from these men?

Two hundred and thirty three
dollars and fifty cents.

Uh-huh. Commander, what is the
fine for bootlegging okolehao?

Two hundred and thirty three
dollars and fifty cents.

But how about our instruments
and how about the guitars

and-and the damages?

- How about that bootleg liquor?
- Hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
Why don't you guys call it even?

You forget the damages.
You forget the liquor.

How about it?

Very good, captain.

Alright with you, commander?

Alright.

Get out of here
before I change my mind.

Uh, very thank you. Aloha.
And we, we'll have a big luau.

We'll have a big luau.
And we'll charge you nothing.

And no okolehao. No okolehao.

Goodbye, admiral. Aloha!

Aloha.

Be sure you're smiling next month

when those ukuleles come
floating across the payroll.

- Get 'em out of here, chief.
- 'Aye, sir.'

Follow me.
Hup, two, three, four.

'Hup, two, three, four.'

So help me, Duke, if that crew
shows up again, I'll..

Aloha,commander.

- Good evening.
- You're ready for sea, Duke?

Yes, sir.
Excuse us, will you, please?

Don't get hurt.

Don't worry.
Take care of yourself.

Thanks for coming down but, uh

did you have to bring that kid?

I didn't bring him, Duke.

He came to say goodbye to Pop.

I'll never understand
this situation.

If you're using Bob to put me
over the jumps, alright.

But if you're
by any chance serious

I wanna make sure
you don't do anything about it

till I get back.

Sure, I'm using the boat,
the flags and everything else

that'll work for me.

You don't expect a guy to give
himself the worst of it, do you?

- Not this guy.
- I hope I'm interrupting.

Duke, don't forget to duck.

- Stand by your lines.
- Stand by your lines!

Pull in your gangway.

That's it, let it go.

Cast off aft.
Cast off forward.

- All back, one third.
- All back, one third.

Oh, boy, it's good
to be afloat again.

- No curfew. No shore patrol.
- No royal Hawaiian.

- No hula-hula girls.
- And no trouble.

When you guys have more
experience you'll understand

about dames.
They mean nothing but trouble.

When you got an ache here
that's a headache, right

you take a-an aspirin,
when you got a an ache here

that's a bellyache
you take a CC pill.

And when you ache all over,
even the doctor don't know

what's the matter with you,
that's dames, brother.

And there ain't no cure
for it either.

Boy, have I got an ache.

- Now what?
- I don't know.

Torpedoes ran true,
hit head on, no explosion.

Haul out the rest of those
torpedoes, check the settings.

'Check all torpedo settings.'

There goes a lot of
aviation gasoline

to the wrong planes.

Torpedo still running.

Those fish have had time
to get to Hoboken.

More duds.

Down scope, secure tubes.

'Secure the tubes.'

Take over, Larry.
Duke, let's get some coffee.

I've got kind of a half baked
idea about this thing

and I'd like you to clear it up.

So I could tell it to somebody.
It might help 'em work it out.

I wish I had the time to really
take one of these warheads apart

and play around
with the firing pin.

Sparks, get this off
urgent priority, COMSUBPAC.

In attack on two freighters
torpedoes fired at ideal angle

hit target but failed to explode.

Torpedoes fired at wide angle,
sank target.

All torpedoes issued Pearl Harbor.

Will keep trying.

I charted the last four attacks.

By the way I, uh

got an answer
to my torpedo message.

I've been ordered back home
to help them find the bugs.

It's gonna be kind of tough
to leave the Thunder.

But I really think
I can do 'em some good.

'I recommended you
to command the next patrol.'

The old girl
deserves a chance, Duke.

See that she gets it.

- Sound?
- Bearing 0-4-0.

- '62 feet, sir.'
- All ahead one-third.

- 'All ahead one-third.'
- 'Up scope.'

- Put me on 0-4-5.
- 'Mark.'

'I suggest we change course
once we find another set, sir.'

Right rudder, course 1-3-5.

'Right rudder,
course 1-3-5, sir.'

- 'Battle stations manned.'
- Stand by to fire!

- Stand by to fire!
- Stand by to fire!

- Well, here goes Uncas!
- Uncas?

Yeah,
"The Last of the Mohicans."

Fire!

It hit right under the stack
and nothing happens.

Wait a minute.
What's this?

- The colors are coming down!
- What?

Get the exec up here.

Executive officer
report to the conning tower.

Aye, aye. Captain wants you
in the conning tower, sir.

- Take over, Mr. Caldwell.
- Aye, sir.

What is it, Captain?

Nice fat freighter

and our last torpedo
was another dud.

'A dud?'

He's running up the white flag.

Now I've seen everything!

What do you make of it?

Must've punched a hole in it.

Try to contact her.
Find out who she is.

- On it, sir. Radio room.
- Radio room.

'Try and contact Jap freighter
close aboard.'

Aye, aye.
Raise the antenna.

No reply, sir.

'They're preparing
to abandon ship!'

- Take her up fast.
- 'Take her up fast.'

Down scope.
Stand by to bridge machine guns.

'Stand by with machine guns.'

- The hatch is cracked, sir.
- Open the hatch.

Here we go. Move along.

Take her down fast.

- Run negative!
- 'Run negative!'

Take her down.
Take her down.

Take her...down.

Up scope. Up the conning tower.

We're fightin' an open hatch.

Hatch secure, sir.

All hands, a Jap decoy ship
flying a white flag

opened up on us.
Pop never left the bridge.

'The Jap is beginning
a depth charge run.'

'I intend to dive under
and come up astern.'

'Stand by for battle surface.'

- Stand by for battle surface.
- Break out helmets!

Break out helmets!

- Is she still coming sound?
- Yes, sir.

- Good. Steady on course.
- Steady on course, sir.

Ammunition passers ready, chief?

Yes, sir.
Helmet, Captain?

I want to be in action
when the guns clear.

All stations ready
for battle surface.

Battle surface!

Pour it to him!

Give me a hand on this gun!

Lay it in there!

Steady on that .40, chief!

Engine room,
give me all you got!

- Hang on!
- Hang on!

All back full!

- Report on bow damage.
- Report on bow damage.

Forward torpedo room's
flooding, sir.

Put air pressure
in that compartment.

Put air pressure
in that compartment.

There she goes.

Nothing from the Thunder?

Nothing, sir.

Notify all patrol vessels

she's overdue and maybe damaged.

Report immediate contact
and render assistance.

Aye, aye, sir.

Mary Stuart's here again, sir.

Hmm.

Wish I had something to tell her.

- Have her come in, Dick.
- Yes, sir.

The admiral's
in the plotting room.

I'm sorry to bother you
this way, admiral but--

Oh, that's alright.
Come in any time.

No word, sir?

But that doesn't mean she's lost.

But no word?

She's a sturdy boat
with a fine crew.

They'll bring her in
if she's afloat.

Thank you, sir.

No luck, sir.

- The set's damaged too bad.
- Keep trying.

Engineer and First Lieutenant's
reports, sir.

All hands. Here's the story.

The damage to our bow has cut
our surface speed in half.

We can submerge
but we can't make much headway.

That means we'll do
most of our running at night.

'We'll be a little late
getting back to Pearl'

'but sit tight, we'll make it.'

'That's all.'

"And Ma in her kerchief
and I in my cap

had just settled ourselves
for a long winter's nap."

What are we waiting for?
That huddle in the wardroom?

Uh, the board of investigation
has to decide what happened

before anybody goes ashore.

A faulty torpedo
cost Captain Perry his life

otherwise the target
would've been disabled.

The Thunder wouldn't have been
forced into an emergency dive.

After the dive?

After the dive, I acted
according to my understanding

of the Thunder's mission

which was to destroy
enemy shipping.

After the Jap ship went down,
we cruised in the area

the rest of the day...searching
for Captain Perry.

What was the condition of
the Thunder at that time?

Heavily damaged. Barely able to
make headway, sir.

Duke, you and your men performed
an outstanding submarine feat

in getting the Thunder back to port.

Well, thank you, sir.

We realize you had a rough patrol

and need little time to unwind.

So we're recommending
that you be sent

back to the States
for a few months.

I'd rather stay here, sir

and see to the Thunder's refit.

I'm sorry. That's
our recommendation. Good day.

- I've been waiting--
- Another day, Junior.

I've got a little business
that's gonna keep me

busy for days.
Then I'll see you.

Hey, Camel!

Sorry, I'm headed
for a hot bath and a bottle.

Hey, Mosconi.

Look, I'd love to go with you, baby
but I'm always booked solid.

- Hey, Chief.
- Not now, Junior. Not now.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know all these guys
were gonna be here.

Well, I just dropped in.

Looks like, uh

a lot of us had the same idea.

I guess it's upto me
to say something.

The most appropriate thing
I can think of is..

...the last part
of the burial at sea.

in the Navy prayer book.

It goes like this.

"We commend their souls to God

"and commit their bodies
to the deep

"in sure and certain hope
of the resurrection

"into eternal life
through Jesus Christ

"at whose coming
to judge the world

the sea shall give up her dead."

Pop wasn't killed in action!

Duke took that boat down
from under him.

I know how you must feel.

But how do you suppose Duke feels?

As second-in-command,
he was responsible

for the safety of the Thunder
and the lives of the crew.

So he took it down
where it was safe.

But he didn't stay down
where it was safe.

He brought it up again
to fight, why?

I'm not the only one
asking questions.

They're sending him back
to the States, why?

I don't know, Bob.

But I'm sure Duke did what
he thought was the right thing.

Don't try to defend him,
Mary Stuart.

'Nothing means a thing to Duke'

'except the chance
to be a hero again!'

Bob.

I was over at your quarters
looking for you.

I wanted to tell you
about Pop and..

...how we all felt.

What's the use of talking?

All I can think of is
Pop out there, helpless

while you went glory-hunting.

Too bad.

Don't be upset, darling.

Let's sit down over here and
you can tell me what happened.

In time, Bob will forgive you.

Forgive me? For what?

We didn't abandon Pop.

He ordered the Thunder down
knowing he couldn't make it.

Knowing she'd be under
in less than a minute.

He gave his life for his crew
and his boat.

But Bob doesn't understand that.

After all, Pop was his brother.

He's my best friend.

I'm gonna miss him.

His kindness and his gruff humor.

But the missing is all mixed
with such a fierce pride

in what he did that
I have no room for mourning.

I think Pop understands.

Of course, but that doesn't
lessen the hurt.

Wait a minute.
I've told you how I feel.

If you're offering me a shoulder
to cry on, I don't need it.

- I have nothing to cry about.
- Duke, I'm only trying to help.

But you can't help me in this.

My problem is to stay aboard
the Thunder

and keep the crew together.

I better get started on it
right now.

See you later.

What's the matter?

I guess I know now where I stand.

Is the admiral in, Joe?

Yes, sir.
I think he is expecting you.

Captain Gifford
of the Thunderfish, sir.

Come in, Duke.

- Thank you for seeing me, sir.
- Sit down. Relax.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to talk to you, sir,
about the Thunder.

I could say the crew
is so well-coordinated

that it should be kept intact.

And that'd be true, I could..

...tell you about Pop and the..

...promise I made to him.
There's a lot of--

What are you really trying
to tell me, Duke?

I don't wanna go back
to the States, sir.

The board says you had
a strenuous time.

I know they said that, sir, but..

...I thought perhaps you could..

Well, there is one possibility
for you to stay.

I have been given permission
to conduct experiments out here

to find out
why our torpedoes don't explode.

Oh, I wouldn't be any good
for that, sir.

I'm no theory man.
I am a line officer.

I belong aboard the Thunder.

You're a practical submariner

and this is a big job.

- However..
- 'Flag Lieutenant, sir.'

Arrange transportation
for Captain Gifford

on the next plane to the States.

I hadn't finished, sir.

What I meant to say was
I belong aboard a boat

but I'll do anything I can.

I thought you'd feel that way.

I gather from Pop's messages

that he had some ideas
about what was wrong.

Yes, sir,
he started to explain to me

but never finished.

Do you think anybody aboard the
Thunder would have any ideas?

Well, my chief might.

Matter of fact, the whole crew
are fine torpedo men.

Good. Go into a huddle
with the base Torpedo Officer.

See what you can cook up.

We'll give you all the help
we can from the shops.

- Thank you, sir.
- It's alright, Duke.

Find the answer for me.

You know, I don't enjoy
sending out boats and crews

with torpedoes
that don't get the job done.

Aye, aye, sir.

It looks all right here
in the shop.

Yeah, but it doesn't explode.

Well, the brain trust has
figured out the force of impact.

Now, if we could approximate
the number of tons

with which it hits
the side of a ship..

Why don't you take it up high
some place and drop it?

No luck.
Ten straight duds!

Well, that sends me
back to the States.

Yeah, me too. This thing
is a must for the admiral.

Chief, is there anything
we haven't tried?

No, sir.

Except those aluminum
firing pins the base sent over.

but they look too light, sir.

- Put one in.
- Yes, sir.

'Stand clear!'

Let her go!

- Commander..
- That did it, chief.

- Yeah!
- 'Yes, sir.'

Hold it right there.

Turn around twice
and give me all the angles.

Then get your hat, coat, stick
and gloves

'cause we're gonna go out
on the town.

Duke, I've got something to say.

Sure, honey, but do you have to say
it right now, I've got big things--

Yes, right now, because
I'm not going to enjoy it.

And I want to get it over with.

Oh, please don't touch me.

Just listen.

The last time I saw you
was probably

the most unselfish moment
in my life.

I was practically glowing with
things I wanted to do for you.

But you didn't give me a chance.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Sure, now everything's cleared up

and you want somebody
to howl with you.

Not only just somebody.
I want you.

I'm not available, Duke.

That night in front
of the nurse's quarters

and then again at the pier.

I forgot for a moment
why we split up.

But you reminded me
and the old trouble

came charging back.

No, it wasn't the Navy,
the wet winters

the bad quarters or you being
away most of the time.

Those things just made it more
wonderful when you got home.

Sure, we did, we had
some great times together.

But a marriage isn't all laughs.

I wanted to cry with you
sometimes, too.

I wanted to comfort you
when you lost your best friend.

But you wouldn't let me.

I wanted to comfort you
when we lost our son.

But you went off into some
corner of your own

never realizing.

By comforting you I could have
helped my own grief.

Maybe it's my fault.

Maybe I shouldn't have
let you shut me out.

But you have no corner
on pride, Duke.

If I can't be a part of
everything in your life

I can't be a part of anything.

So there it is.

The trouble between us.

You don't need me, Duke.

You never have.

You don't need anybody
but yourself.

- A fine boy.
- Yeah.

Take good care of him, will you?

A man's got a lot to learn.

'I heard every word you said.'

'I've been trying to keep
my nose out of your business'

'but I can't stand by any longer'

and watch you
make a fool of yourself.

- Commander Steele, I know--
- Keep quiet and listen.

Of course he comes to you
when he wants to play.

Or do you want him to go
to some another woman?

You married him for what he is
and then tried to

make something else of him.

When you couldn't,
and you never will

you began to feel sorry
for yourself.

How long would you love him
if he did cry on your shoulder?

"You don't need me!

Maybe I shouldn't have let you
shut me out."

What kind of silly talk is that?

And what has pride got to do
with love?

Don't worry.
He won't be happy.

But what is more important,
he won't be back!

Keep your seat.

What's the matter, Junior?

Getting some fresh air?

No, sir.

I was just sitting up here
thinking about women.

How you miss 'em
till you get ashore.

And then how you wonder why.

And how soon you start
missing them again.

I reckon it's just
a vicious circle.

It's a mighty cynical observation

for a gentleman from Georgia.

- Alabama, sir.
- Oh, I beg your pardon.

Of course, sir.

There's lots of you
corn-bread-and-buttermilk

boys in the navy.

Yet, that doesn't seem to be
sailor country.

Oh, but it is, sir.

From way back.

My great-grandpappy
was on the Merrimac.

My grandpappy
was with Dewey at Manila.

My pappy was with Admiral Sims,
chasing U-boats.

Why, even the town I come from
is named Decatur!

Indications lead to an all-out
Japanese effort

to destroy the recently obtained
United States base at Leyte

'and prevent support and supply
by our fleet.'

'The Imperial Japanese Fleet
is known to have'

'left its base, headed south.'

Several courses are open to them.

Consequently, initial contact
is of vital importance.

'Our submarines are located
along this general line.'

And it's our job to locate them.

Do you think the Japs
will take a gamble like that?

They'll have to.

The Philippine landing
was a ticklish job.

We by-passed a lot of places
to jump in there.

If they let us stay,
they're gone geese.

- What is it, Mr. Caldwell?
- Message from the Corvena, sir.

They've got gear trouble
in number four main engine

and wanna know if we can help.

Check with the engineer officer.

If we can spare the parts,
arrange a rendezvous.

Aye, sir.

How long have you been out,
Freddie?

Sixty days.

Didn't even see a rowboat.

'Did you guys bring
any new pictures with you?'

We got a thing called
"George Washington Slept Here."

Got anything to trade?

Yeah, we have a submarine picture.

It sure is exciting.

Well, send it over.

And you can have
"George Washington Slept Here"

and six points.

Hey, Joe, do me a favor, will you?

Sure.

When you get back to Pearl,
go up to Room 202.

If there's a buck
under the pillow, it's mine!

If there's a buck under the
pillow, I'll split it with you.

All hands!
This is Jonesy.

There will be movies tonight!

How's the picture?

Oh, alright, I guess, sir.

The things those Hollywood guys
can do with a submarine!

I wonder how Freddie's doing
with George Washington?

I can't figure out those
explosions sound reported.

Torpedoes?

Torpedoes. Yes.

Ours or theirs?

Something in the water, sir.

Can you make it out, Larry?

'It looks like an oil slick.'

'Wreckage!'

All ahead, full.

- Find anything, Chief?
- Nothing I can identify, sir.

- But there's a life jacket.
- 'Wait a minute, chief.'

Radar reports single contact, sir.

Bearing, 1-8-7.
Range, 15-0-00.

Single contact?

Clear the bridge!

- Sound?
- I can't make it out, sir.

- 'Hatch secure, sir.'
- 'Pressure in the boat, sir.'

- Hold it at periscope depth.
- 'Hold at periscope depth.'

Steady as you go.
All ahead one-third.

Steady as you go, sir.
All ahead one-third.

Up periscope.

- Bearing mark.
- Bearing 1-8-8.

- 'Range mark.'
- 'Range 12,000.'

Angle on the bow, 40 starboard.
Down periscope.

Ask the navigator what time
is local apparent noon.

- 'Target course 3-2-0.'
- 'Navigator, navigator..'

'Navigator reports
local apparent noon 11:46'

'fourteen minutes from now, sir.'

Up scope.

Battle stations submerge.

- 'Bearing mark.'
- 'Bearing 1-9-5.'

- 'Range mark.'
- 'Range 6,000.'

One I-type Jap submarine,
Mr. Caldwell, take a look!

What do you suppose
he doing is up there?

He might be taking a noon site.

Or maybe just licking his chops.

Down scope.

All ahead, flank.
Right full rudder.

'All ahead flank,
right full rudder.'

- Steady on course 2-8-0.
- 'Steady on course 2-8-0, sir.'

- Make ready, all tubes forward.
- Make ready, all tubes forward.

'Up scope.'

- Bearing mark.
- Bearing 3-4-6.

- Range mark.
- Range 900.

- 'Final bearing, mark.'
- '3-4-8.'

- 'Set.'
- 'Stand by.'

Fire.

Now we have torpedoes,
Mr. Caldwell.

Take another look.

Gee, it's the first time I ever
saw a sub get knocked off.

Some night, huh?
See anything?

Yeah. Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

There used to be a Ferris wheel
just outside of town.

Me and my girl rode it a lot.

Then one night something
happened to the machinery

and the wheel got stuck
with us way up on top.

Boy, was that a night!

Wonder who is up there
with her now?

Radar reports
multiple contacts, sir.

Bearing 2-7-8, true.

Target apparently
on steady course.

- Range?
- 22-0-00, sir.

- Striking party, take stations.
- Striking party, take stations.

- Give me the engineer officer.
- Engineer officer.

Mick, how long are you gonna
need on that battery charge?

We may be down a long while.

Good.

- Clear the bridge.
- Clear the bridge.

- 'Hatch secure, sir.'
- That ain't all, Captain.

Sound?

Propeller noises coming in
all around the dial, sir.

Stand by battle stations!

A destroyer.

- Any pinging?
- No, sir.

- All ahead, one-third.
- All ahead, one-third.

Let's go in.

What are we gonna do?

Bring her up easy.

The surface radio antennae.

If we try to get away,
they'll be on us

before we can send a message.

If we send a message from here,
we won't be able to get away.

- You know what to say, Larry.
- Aye, aye, sir.

I'll never make fun of another
movie as long as I live!

- Antennae up?
- Yes, sir.

COMSUBPAC.
Urgent priority.

Plain language.

Thunder in middle of
Imperial Japanese fleet

including carriers,
battleships and heavies.

Course 1-5-0.

Speed 25.

Position 50 miles
north of Point Fox.

- 'We're sending, sir.'
- 'Up scope.'

- 'Stand by to fire all tubes.'
- Stand by to fire all tubes.

- 'No sign of a life yet.'
- 'They must hear us.'

Maybe they don't believe
what they hear.

Oh-oh. Somebody's getting nosy.

Down scope.

This is the captain talking.

We asked for it.
Now, we got it.

We're right in the middle of the
entire Japanese Imperial fleet.

We gotta sit here like a duck
in a shooting gallery

until Pearl acknowledges
our contact message.

'Search lights are popping
all over the place.'

'And destroyers are cranking up
depth charges.'

'If Pearl acknowledges in time,
we have a chance.'

With these overlapping targets

I intend to fire all tubes

'cause so much excitement that
we can make a break for it.'

'That is all.
That's enough!'

That's what I was gonna say.

- Anything from the radio room?
- No, sir.

Destroyers!

Radio room reports
acknowledge, sir.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire.

There's baby.
Oh, baby, you're wonderful!

Take her down fast and deep.
Rig for depth charge!

Take her down fast and deep.
Rig for depth charge!

- 'Rig for silent running!'
- 'Rig for silent running!'

We're going down fast.
Rig for depth charge.

Rig for silent running!

- Left full rudder.
- 'Left full rudder, sir.'

- One hundred twenty feet.
- Right full rudder.

Right full rudder.

Number six, popping!

All compartments report damage.

- How are we doing, Mick?
- 'So far, so good.'

- 'She might sweat a little.'
- Attaboy, let her sweat.

- Level off.
- 'Level off.'

- All ahead one-third.
- 'All ahead one-third, sir.'

Mr. Caldwell.

There's bad leak
down here, captain.

A DC party will take care of that.

Hurry up that torpedo reload.

Alright, take it away.
Get it in there. Ready.

Heave!

Heave!

Come on. Let's go.

- Heave!
- Larry?

'The usual amount of caulk.'

'Plug on number one engine
water cooler blown.'

Brushes for speed regulator,
dried out.

Exhaust piping on auxiliary
engine in liner elbow, cracked.

And there's a leak
in the forward torpedo room.

- What else?
- 'We're losing control.'

'We'll have to surface
to repair damage.'

Where's that destroyer?

He's echo ranging.
He's not sure of us.

Other screw sounds going fainter.

'Wait a minute. There's
something else up there.'

Heavier screws.

- Slow turning.
- Let's go and take a look.

Periscope depth.
Bring her up fast.

'Periscope depth.
Bring her up fast.'

'This will be down the throat.'

- 'Range.'
- 'Eight hundred, sir.'

Stand by forward tubes.

Heave!

'Heave.'

Fire!

They're running at Rockingham.

'Torpedoes running.'

- 'Oh-oh, look at here.'
- 'After tubes reloaded, sir.'

This is the captain.
We made it.

'Jap fleet is gone and
we took care of the destroyer'

'they left behind
to take care of us.'

But that is not all.
Somebody must live right.

'Sitting topside is
the most beautiful carrier'

'you ever saw
with a broken wing.'

'I think we can get even
for the one Pop missed.'

'They may send destroyers back'

but right now
she is meat on the table.

What are we supposed to do,
throw rocks?

- Yeah.
- After tubes are reloaded.

Can you keep her under control
for a few more minutes?

For a carrier,
I'll hold her up myself!

- Stand by after tubes.
- 'Stand by after tubes.'

- Range.
- '1-800. Bearing 1-7-5.'

Fire.

Fire.

Don't miss back there, you guys!

That does it.
Take a look.

Pass the word,
everybody, take a look.

'Up antenna.'

'Detail to the conning tower
for a look-see.'

I better let everybody hear this.

'One of our submarines
contacted'

'the Imperial Japanese Fleet'

'in Luzon Straits.'

'Enemy proceeding full speed
toward Leyte.'

'Execute Plan Royal.'

'All submarines
form lifeguard line.'

'Stand by air sea rescue stations'

'to take aboard downed fliers.'

'Well done, Thunder.'

I hope Pop heard that.

All leaks repaired, sir.
Battle damage under control.

Good.

Stand by rescue stations.

'Stand by rescue stations.'

Hobo to Baker. Hobo to Baker.

Baker to Hobo. Baker to Hobo.
Go ahead.

'One down, northeast of
San Bernardino Island.'

Northeast of San Bernardino
Island?

It gets a little shallow in there.

'There's the fly-fly boy!'

Navigator reports bottom
at 1-5 fathoms, sir.

- All ahead two-thirds.
- All ahead two-thirds.

Mr. Caldwell!

We'll take you in
as close as we can

then you'll have to go
and get him.

Aye, aye, sir.

Keep those
fathometer readings coming.

- One-one fathom, sir.
- The bottom's coming up fast.

I hope it's nice clean sand.

Nine fathoms.
Engineer officer, sir.

Mack, I'm gonna ease her in
from here

and put her nose on the reef.
Let her down forward.

- All stop.
- All stop.

Mr. Caldwell, shove off!

Navigator reports
single plane contact.

South, bearing 1-2-0.
Range 2-9-0-00.

Man the deck guns.

Take over, Larry.

Take it easy,
I've got him, Mr. Caldwell.

'Chief! Junior!'

'Chief! Junior!'

- Mr. Caldwell.
- 'Chief! Junior!'

Get back aboard, Mr. Caldwell!

'That is an order!'

All back full!

- Jonesy, come on.
- Junior, the chief.

They're not coming.

Put me down!

'I said put me down!'

You were out cold, captain.

Well, I'm not out now.
Just cold.

- Yes, sir.
- Mr. Caldwell?

- Yes, sir?
- Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Junior's personal effects.

He was a good man.

Make sure that it says so
on the patrol report.

Aye, sir.

Look at this.
A Confederate flag.

Yeah.

Don't forget to mention Alabama.

His great-grandpappy
was aboard the Merrimac.

What you got me in here,
a straitjacket?

'By the time we get back to
Pearl you'll be as good as new.'

'PBM alongside. Stand by
to transfer wounded.'

How you doing?

I want to tell you. I appreciate
what you did for me.

I know you went
out of your way to get me.

We picked up seven flyers.

You just happen to be one of them.

I'm sorry for the way I put it
to you about Pop.

I might have felt the same way..

...if it'd been my brother.

All my life, I've been trying
to top you.

You said that before.

I thought I'd done it.

And then with a whole
Pacific Ocean in front of me

I had to pick
the one spot to crash

where you could be a hero again.

Why did you and I have to be
in the same Navy?

So I could send you back to
Pearl in a PBM, I guess.

Alright.

Just a minute.

- What's that for?
- Nothing.

I couldn't help it
about the chief, sir.

You're remembering
how he took care of you.

Yes, sir.

Before you, he took care of Larry.

Before Larry,
he took care of me.

Before me, it was Pop.

Before Pop..

Chiefs have been taking care
of this man's Navy

for a long time, Mr. Caldwell.

Don't worry about him.

He's got a lot of good sailors
to take care of back there.

In tonnage, this patrol
is close to a record.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

- It's still there, huh?
- What?

- The old zing!
- Of course, it is.

What could happen to it?

- I got your message.
- What message?

Let's go get Butch!
