:32:02
Oh.
:32:03
No, just a couple of biologics, sir.
Would you like to listen?
:32:06
No, I'll pass on that, thanks.
:32:09
What are these tapes you got here?
:32:12
Those are whales, sir.
:32:14
I tape them, try to learn their language.
Just basic chitchat and so on.
:32:20
I do their hailing call against the hull.
Sometimes they actually answer back.
:32:25
Had a nice young couple alongside
two or three hours ago.
:32:30
If you hear them talking about the new
nuclear attack sub in town, let me know.
:32:35
Aye-aye, sir.
:32:41
Conn-sonar. I've got a noise level
bearing 3-4-6 that may be a contact.
:32:46
But it's pretty shallow to be a sub.
:32:49
Make normal one-third turns.
Come right at 3-4-6.
:32:54
Try to get a definitive classification.
:32:56
Secure the engines.
Periscope depth. Answer bells on batteries.
:33:00
- I want to hear if anybody's out there.
- Aye, sir. Kill the engines.
:33:11
Conn-sonar.
Captain, we've lost the contact.
:33:16
- Continue course and speed.
- Aye, sir. Continue course and speed.
:33:20
Sonar originally classified this contact
as a possible submarine.
:33:24
- Now they think it was a diesel engine.
- If it's a diesel contact, then it's not a sub.
:33:29
Aye, sir.
:33:31
Wait. Better check it outjust to make sure.
:33:35
- Bring me to single-ping range.
- That'll give away our position.
:33:39
Minimal risk with this contact.
Single-ping range, please.
:33:45
Jeez! Just been pinged big time, sir.
Bearing 0-3-0.
:33:51
That didn't take long. This could be
the shortest command stint in history.
:33:55
I knew we shouldn't have
come in from the south.
:33:58
Nice tactics, Captain Custer.
We should be home in a couple of hours.
