:22:12
Position of all convoys, sir.
:22:13
Thank you.
:22:14
All we can do now is wait
and see what happens.
:22:18
That's the worst part
of our job...the waiting.
:22:22
You have a son
in the service, haven't you?
:22:25
Yes, sir. He's at Gibraltar.
:22:27
He's an air gunner in the Ark Royal.
:22:29
I bet you're glad...
:22:31
he won't be mixed up
in this Bismarck show.
:22:34
Why should I be glad?
:22:35
If you were, you wouldn't admit it,
would you?
:22:38
He must take his chance
like everybody else.
:22:41
I see.
:22:42
There's an air vice marshal
coming in later...
:22:44
to help out on reconnaissance.
:22:46
Give him a briefing, will you?
:22:52
You wanted to speak to the crew,
Captain?
:22:54
They've been alerted.
:22:56
Achtung!
:22:59
Captain Lindemann...
:23:00
with your permission...
:23:01
I would like to address
the ship's company.
:23:04
As you wish, sir.
:23:05
Thank you.
:23:09
Officers and men of the Bismarck...
:23:12
this is the fleet commander.
:23:14
We are going out into the North Atlantic...
:23:17
to attack the British convoy system.
:23:19
We are going to sink their ships...
:23:22
until they no longer dare
to let them sail.
:23:23
It's true we are only two ships...
:23:27
but the world has never seen such ships.
:23:31
We are sailing in the largest...
:23:33
the most powerful battleship afloat...
:23:36
superior to anything
in the British navy.
:23:38
We are faster...
:23:40
we are unsinkable, and we are German!
:23:43
You cadet officers...
:23:45
you were selected by
the highest authority...
:23:47
to make this voyage.
:23:48
When you return to the fleet...
:23:51
you will have many
inspiring stories to tell...
:23:53
stories of German sea power...
:23:55
stories of Nazi victory!
:23:59
To all of you, I say this...
