:06:03
- I was trained to command a nuclear boat.
- Are you refusing to take command?
:06:09
- No, sir.
- Good.
:06:12
- Meet your crew here tomorrow at 0700.
- They also left over from World War Two, sir?
:06:17
No, Captain.
:06:19
They've been handpicked... by me.
:06:26
Come on in.
:06:28
Thank you for seeing me
on such short notice, Admiral Winslow.
:06:31
- Take a seat.
- Thank you.
:06:35
- Well, how do you like your boat?
- It's a complete piece of...
:06:41
antiquated equipment, sir.
:06:44
I have dedicated a substantial portion
of my life to getting my own boat.
:06:48
I was wondering why
you chose to embarrass me.
:06:50
No embarrassment intended.
You've been chosen for a specific mission.
:06:55
To turn her into a museum, sir?
The Wonderful World Of Corrosion?
:06:59
Hardly.
:07:01
Here are recent satellite photos of Russian
bases at Petropavlovsk and Vladivostok.
:07:06
That's where the Russians
have got their diesel sub fleet.
:07:10
But each week they're fewer because
they're selling them off like hot cakes
:07:15
to countries like Iran,
Iraq and Libya, to name a few.
:07:18
With respect, sir, one American nuclear
attack sub could defeat several diesels.
:07:23
In conventional battle, certainly that's true.
:07:26
What if you had one renegade diesel captain
who decided to hit us without warning,
:07:32
a terrorist intent on getting
a nuclear warhead into a harbour?
:07:35
Do you think we could catch and kill
a bogie like that in time?
:07:39
Absolutely, sir.
:07:41
Well, most of the admiralty,
they would agree with you.
:07:45
But me, personally, I'd like to know for sure.
:07:48
That's why you'll clean up the Stingray
and take her out off the Atlantic coast
:07:52
for a series of war games.
:07:55
One rebel diesel against the US nuclear navy.
:07:59
Come on.
