- We've steamed over our tow line.
- Who said we did that?
2:36:12
- We've cut the target adrift.
- No. We had a faulty cable.
2:36:17
We can hardly be held responsible
if we're given faulty cables.
2:36:22
Should we recover the target?
2:36:25
No. We'll be the last ship back
in Pearl Harbor. No thank you.
2:36:30
We don't want a lot of questions
about this. It's not our fault.
2:36:35
- Reel in the cable.
- Aye, aye, sir.
2:36:41
Mr Keefer,
send the following dispatch.
2:36:49
"Defective tow line parted,
south-west corner, x-ray."
2:36:54
"Target adrift.
Menace to navigation."
2:36:58
"Suggest tug,
recover or destroy."
2:37:05
He'll never get away with it.
2:37:09
Let's head for the barn.
All engines ahead full.
2:37:14
All engines ahead full, sir.
2:37:26
Willie, you look worried.
2:37:30
A man's shirt's a petty detail, but
big things are made up of details.
2:37:37
For want of a nail, a horseshoe
was lost, and then the whole battle.
2:37:42
A captain's job is a lonely one.
He's easily misunderstood.
2:37:48
Forget that I bawled you out. It
was good for the morale of everyone.
2:37:54
Yes, sir.
