:16:01
Can't get a bombing run
in weather like that.
:16:04
200 feet along the fjord here.
:16:06
What convoy's that, Miss Jackson?
:16:06
What convoy's that, Miss Jackson?
:16:08
O.G.62, sir.
:16:09
Right.
:16:13
Now, Miss Davis, take the Arethusa...
:16:16
from O.G.62.
:16:18
Put her with the Home Fleet.
:16:21
Good.
:16:24
Now take the Victorious...
:16:26
from that convoy forming
up in the Clyde...W.S.8.B....
:16:29
And put her with the Home Fleet.
:16:31
Sir, Operations Home Fleet calling.
:16:33
Director of operations.
:16:34
No, I'm sorry.
We still have no information.
:16:37
Well, the weather's closed in
over there.
:16:39
The aircraft can't see a thing.
:16:43
Yes, as soon... as soon as I hear, right.
:16:46
Right. I will.
:16:48
Now...
:16:52
take the Repulse from W.S.8.B.
:16:54
and put her with the Home Fleet.
:16:59
Right.
:17:02
Home Fleet looks better now, doesn't it?
:17:04
Yes, sir, but I wouldn't give much
for the convoy.
:17:07
You do recall that's a troop convoy...
:17:09
don't you, sir?
:17:10
Yes, I do.
:17:11
They've got a long way to go...
:17:13
round the cape to the Middle East.
:17:15
This leaves them unprotected.
:17:16
I'm quite aware of the circumstances,
Miss Davis.
:17:19
This is a risk we have to take.
:17:22
We have to take, sir?
:17:24
Well, Shepard...
:17:25
what do you have in mind?
:17:28
I think we must reinforce
the Home Fleet, sir.
:17:31
They can't patrol everything
from here to Greenland...
:17:33
with what they've got now.
:17:35
Well, where do we get the ships?
:17:38
We'd have to take ships from other duty.
:17:40
It would involve some risk.
:17:42
We could take Victorious
and Repulse off escort duty.
:17:44
That would give the Commander-in-Chief
an aircraft carrier...
:17:48
and another battle cruiser.
:17:49
What convoy were they covering?
:17:51
The W.8.S.B., sailing
from the Clyde tomorrow.
:17:53
It's a large troop convoy, sir...
20,000 men.
:17:56
We'd be exposing them to
a long and dangerous voyage...
:17:59
without proper escort.
