There he is. Hey, Andy!
Where you been?
It's an all-hands function.
Come here.
I want you to meet Joanie.
Joanie, this is Andy Tyler.
Hello.
My best friend.
We went to Annapolis together.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, I got you
one of Larson's stogies.
To our navy's
next sub skipper.
Thank you.
Lieutenant!
Gonna hoist up a few beers
with the enlisted boys later?
You got it, Griggs.
All right.
Mr. Tyler!
Mr. Tyler!
Hmm?
My mom is here visiting.
Can I bring her over
to meet you?
Sure thing, Trigger.
That's the lieutenant
I was talking about.
Lieutenant Tyler!
Hello there,
Prudence, Louise.
Mrs. Dahlgren, Captain.
Where's your date, Andy?
It's not like you
to arrive stag.
I'm afraid I couldn't get one
on such short notice, ma'am.
Captain, could I have
a word with you?
Certainly. Darling,
will you excuse us?
Okay.
Be right back.
## [Stops]
[Applause]
I didn't get my boat.
I know.
With all due respect, sir,
there's only one way
that could've happened,
and that's if you withheld
your recommendation.
That's right.
I just don't think
you're ready.
What do you mean,
I'm not ready?
Sir, I have worked my tail off
on the S-33. I'm qualified
in every area and then some.
No executive officer
Andy!
You're just not ready
to take on a command
of your own.
Now I've made my decision.
It's done.
[Man]
Mr. Tyler.
How you doing, sir?
Having a good time?
Hell, yeah, Chief.
How about you?
I'm looking forward
to getting underway.
I'm a sea dog.
Need some salt, sir.
He torpedoed me, Chief.
Nine months
aboard the S-33,
doing the best job
I know how.
Doing everything once
and then doing it again,
just to make sure
I didn't miss anything
the first time.
You'll get your chance, sir.
There's other commands
in the navy.
- You knew?
- [Sighing]
Didn't warn me.
Ain't my place, sir.
[Whistle Blowing]
[Man]
Club's secured!
Time to go!
[Whistle Blowing]
[Crowd Chattering,
Music Stops]
Let's go.
Get out.
Everyone out.
Come on, let's go.
What's the meaning
of this, Sergeant?
You the senior man?
That's right.
I'm the X.O. Of the S-33.
These men have
a 48-hour liberty pass.
No, sir,
not no more.
[Man On P.A., Indistinct]
What the hell
are those yardbirds
doing to my boat?
Looks like
a goddamn Nazi submarine.
Hey, Andy.
This is a fine navy day.
[Man Over P.A., Indistinct]
They wouldn't give me
five minutes to consummate
my marriage. Five minutes!
What's going on here?
Hell if I know.
Put your cover on.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Tyler,
call the crew to quarters.
Aye, Captain.
Quarters!
Everybody fall in!
Let's get in formation now!
Let's go! Now!
Formation!
[Man On P.A.]
Prepare crew three.
Muster with First Lieutenant.
Prepare crew three.
Muster with First Lieutenant.
Captain Dahlgren,
all crew members present
and accounted for, sir!
Very well.
At ease.
I'm sorry your liberty's
been cut short,
but our schedule's changed.
We have two hours to get
stowed for sea and set
the maneuvering watch.
Mr. Larson, have
your torpedo men load the tubes
with their four best fish.
Mr. Emmett, warm up the diesels
and line up a battery charge.
Mr. Tyler, we have dry stores,
ordnance and perishables
to get belowdecks.
Gentlemen, it's our turn.
That's all.
Attention!
Aye, Captain.
Crew dismissed!
You heard the man!
Stores load!
You got six seconds to get on
your boondockers and dungarees
and turn to!
Mr. Tyler, is this for real,
or is it a drill?
"It's our turn"...
what does that mean?
I thought we had
a two-day liberty pass.
What's going on?
I don't know,
but I'm gonna find out.
Get your jobs done now.
[Man On P.A.]
All off-going duty officers,
report to the dock.
Captain Dahlgren,
could you fill me in
on what's going on, sir?
We're obviously not going
to the Caribbean Station.
No, we're not.
You'll be briefed
with Mr. Emmett and Mr. Larson
once we get underway.
Aye, sir.
Andy, listen.
I'm gonna need the very best
from you on this run,
regardless of any differences
you may have with me.
Are we clear on that?
Yes, sir.
Good.
Now go find Radioman Wentz
to the materiel office.
[Knocking]
Mr. Tyler.
How are you, son?
I'm fine, Admiral Duke.
What brings you up here?
He does.
That's Lieutenant Hirsch.
He's gonna be riding
your boat.
You're not working for Sublant
on this run. Mr. Hirsch
has operational control.
He's the boss.
Anything he wants,
he gets.
[Hirsch Speaking On Phone]
Fine.
Is this him?
[Speaking German]
Yes, sir.
He'll do.
Thank you, Wentz.
That's all for now.
Lieutenant, prepare the boat
to get underway.
Aye, sir. Admiral.
Mr. Tyler, please,
don't tell the other guys
I'm half German.
They'll hate me.
Yeah, sure thing, Wentz.
[Man On P.A.]
Prepare crew three.
Muster with First Lieutenant.
Prepare crew three.
Muster with First Lieutenant.
Duty Officer Lane
to the paint shop.
Duty Officer
to the paint shop.
You all right,
Mr. Tyler?
Tiptop, Eddie.
Tiptop.
Wanna thank you
for that liberty pass.
My girl
thanks you too.
You're a good man,
