:40:01
There it is. You might as well post it.
:40:04
A whole area to patrol and you pick
the graveyard - the Bungo Straits!
:40:09
It's the only place we can get the Akikaze.
:40:12
The one spot you're ordered to avoid.
:40:14
You make it sound like
a snap decision. It wasn't.
:40:17
That's quite obvious. Passing
a Jap submarine to save your torpedoes.
:40:21
Risking a bow shot. Ducking a convoy
so they can't radio our position.
:40:25
You planned it, all right! You knew it
the day I came to your house!
:40:28
I knew it before that, Jim. I knew it
a year ago when my boat went down.
:40:32
We have explicit orders. We have a crew
that expects the captain to follow them!
:40:36
You know that a captain
can redefine orders...
:40:39
...if he feels he has an advantage.
:40:41
- What advantage?
- You named it. A bow shot.
:40:43
We did it with a Momo.
We can do it again.
:40:46
You call that an advantage when
four subs before us never had a chance?
:40:50
They were detected.
Not even Pearl knows where we are.
:40:53
What about the Japanese navy?
:40:55
No, sir, that's no advantage.
Not in my book.
:40:58
But you're not the captain.
:41:01
If you should fail
but come out of this alive...
:41:04
...there won't be a desk
small enough for you this time!
:41:07
That's strange, Jim.
I never even thought of failing.
:41:12
You've got a lot of guts, sir,
with other people's lives.
:41:16
That's my decision and my responsibility!
:41:18
To whom? To a crew
that died a year ago?
:41:20
Yes! To a dead crew, a dead sub!
:41:27
Now, believe what you want.
:41:32
Well, this crew's still alive.
:41:34
They have a right to know where
they're going. Do I have to tell them?
:41:39
What's the matter? Surely
you've got guts enough for this, too.
:41:45
This is the Captain.
:41:47
Due to conditions of special advantage...
:41:50
...I have decided to take this boat
to the Bungo Straits.
