:54:02
exactly what are
our rules of engagement?
:54:05
Russian- speaking personnel
have been transferred to our ships
:54:08
When the quarantine
takes place in the morning
:54:10
our ships will attempt radio contact
with approaching vessels
:54:14
They'll be ordered to reduce speed
and stand by for inspection
:54:18
An inspection team will then
board and search the vessel
:54:21
If weapons are found, the ship will be
ordered out of the quarantine area
:54:24
If they refuse
:54:26
they'll be towed into the nearest port
:54:28
What if the ship doesn't stop
for inspection or want to be towed?
:54:31
We fire a warning shot
across their bow
:54:33
And what happens
if the ship ignores the warning shot?
:54:36
Wen then fire at its rudder
:54:38
disable it
and carry on our inspection
:54:40
There will be no shooting
without my explicit orders
:54:44
Is that understood?
:54:45
Yes sir
:54:47
Well, Admiral
looks like it's up to the navy
:54:49
The navy won't let you down, sir
:54:51
There is one other thing
Mr. President
:54:53
We're commencing low-level photography
runs over Cuba this morning
:54:56
It'll be more detailed
than the U-2 photography
:54:59
We'll firm up our estimates
of the missiles' readiness
:55:03
and develop target packages for strikes
if you should order them, sir
:55:06
To protect our pilots
:55:07
we're prepared to retaliate
against any SAM site
:55:10
or anti-aircraft battery
that may open fire
:55:12
We have a flight of Thunderchiefs
that'll be able to
:55:14
respond within minutes
to any attacks on our planes
:55:26
I've got a bad feeling about
what's going on in there
:55:27
In the morning
:55:29
I'm taking charge of the blockade
from the situation room
:55:31
And McNamara is gonna set up shop
in the flag plot at the Pentagon
:55:34
He'll keep an eye on things there
:55:34
Good
:55:35
You get armed boarders
climbing on the Soviet ships
:55:37
with shots being fired across bows
:55:39
What about these low-level flights?
:55:41
We need the flights
:55:42
They're starting in what?
:55:42
An hour
:55:44
Do you realize what you're in for?
:55:46
We need the flights
:55:47
because the minute that
first missile becomes operational
:55:49
we gotta go in there and destroy them
:55:50
Fair enough. But Castro's on alert
:55:52
and we're flying attack planes
over their sites on the deck
:55:57
There's no way for them to know
we're carrying cameras, not bombs
