Captain DeVriess,
this is Ensign Keith.
2:11:12
May I see your orders,
or are they a military secret?
2:11:17
I'm sorry, sir.
2:11:25
Princeton, 1941...
2:11:28
Top five percent
in midshipman's school...
2:11:33
Pretty good background,
pretty good record.
2:11:38
- Disappointed it's a minesweeper?
- To be honest, yes, sir.
2:11:45
- You saw yourself on a battleship?
- I had hoped that...
2:11:50
I only hope that
you're good enough for the Caine.
2:11:55
- I'll try to be worthy of the job.
- The Caine is a beaten-up tub.
2:12:02
After 18 months of combat, it takes
24 hours a day to keep her together.
2:12:08
I don't think you understand.
You're in the junkyard navy.
2:12:16
Steve, put in with Keefer
in Communications. -
2:12:19
- And have Tom show this Princeton
Tiger and the other ensign the ship.
2:12:28
And Keith...
2:12:30
Don't take it so hard.
War is hell.
2:12:40
- Ensign Keith, Ensign Harding.
- My condolences.
2:12:45
Let's get with it.
The USS Caine is a minesweeper.
2:12:48
These paravanes carry sweep wires
off both sides of the ship.
2:12:53
The wire saws the mine in two.
2:12:56
We've been in combat a year and a
half, and we've never swept a mine.
