:15:05
Maneuvering watch is set, captain.
We're ready to get underway.

:15:08
Okay, George.
:15:19
What's the weather forecast
off western Scotland?

:15:21
More of the same, captain.
Intermittent showers, state-three sea.

:15:24
Winds, westerly, 8 to 10 knots.
:15:26
- Very well.
- Captain.

:15:28
- This is Mr. Jones.
- Welcome aboard, Mr. Jones.

:15:32
- Thank you. I'll try not to be underfoot.
- We appreciate that. We're overcrowded.

:15:36
Tell George to single up.
We'll be getting underway in a moment.

:15:39
- Ed, we'll skip the trim dive.
- Sir.

:15:41
- This way.
- Refreshingly informal, your American Navy.

:15:44
On submarines, anyway,
living as close as we do.

:15:47
We operate on a first-name basis.
:15:49
My first name is Captain.
:15:53
Be it ever so functional.
:15:57
- I'm putting you here with Mr. Hansen.
- Your operations officer?

:16:00
I'll drop in from time to time
to make sure you're...

:16:02
Here, captain?
:16:04
Comfortable.
:16:07
Here. Keep this with you.
:16:09
This is a nuclear submarine,
as you know.

:16:12
We'll check you from time to time
for radiation.

:16:14
That's very kind of you.
:16:16
You know, Mr. Jones...
:16:18
...it isn't every day that somebody
as important as Admiral Garvey...

:16:22
...flies from London to Holy Loch...
:16:24
...to personally hand me a copy
of somebody's orders.

:16:28
What are you up to?
:16:30
Isn't it there?
:16:36
It does say:
:16:38
"Mr. Jones is to be taken into
your fullest confidence...

:16:41
...and will be extended every facility
and all aid... "

:16:44
That puts a great deal
of responsibility on me.

:16:47
It's a stunning character reference too,
don't you think?

:16:51
And it is signed
by the chief of naval operations.

:16:54
You must be delighted to know
what a trustworthy fellow I am.
