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.
:08:04
First you'll attempt to invade
Charleston harbour.
:08:07
If you're good enough
to evade further pursuit,
:08:10
you're going to attempt to sink shipping
right here at the naval base in Norfolk.
:08:14
Simulated, of course.
:08:16
- What do you think?
- I think I'm gonna get my ass kicked, sir.
:08:20
Don't think like that.
Damn it to hell, don't go by the book.
:08:23
Think like a pirate.
I want a man with a tattoo on his dick.
:08:28
Have I got the right man?
:08:32
By a strange coincidence you do, sir.
:08:34
However, the task you've given me here
is close to impossible.
:08:41
If I pull it off, that is get both ports...
:08:46
I would like command of
my own nuclear sub.
:08:49
- Setting terms now?
- No, sir.
:08:51
But without command, once this exercise
is over I'm headed for a deskjob,
:08:55
which means I'm out of the navy.
:08:58
I can't make you any guarantees, Dodge,
but this is what I'll do.
