Crimson Tide Page #2

as of now, we're back in business.

In the good old days of Cold War, the

Russians could always be depended on...

doing whatever is in

their own best interests.

But this Radchenko's playing a whole new

ball game with a whole new set of rules.

Now I've heard people talk...

but I don't think this man's talking

to get his picture in the paper.

He seems to have a serious weed

up his ass and a legitimate gripe.

Always a dangerous combination.

And I think he's capable...

of doing every damn thing

he says he's going to do.

That's why we have to go out there

and give the man a moment of pause.

So ends theory.

Thus, let us begin the facts.

We've been informed by the NSA...

that an entire rebel corps

of the Russian Army is involved.

That's four armored divisions

numbering 60,000 men.

There seems to be

massive defections.

Vladimir seems to be winning the hearts

and minds of the Russian soldiers.

- Admiral.

- Thank you.

They've seized the region by the Chinese

and North Korean borders.

That includes a submarine base...

from which they've surged

four Akula-class attack subs.

They have acquired

a nuclear base at Artem...

that houses 25 hardened silos

for Russian ICBMs...

armed with up to

ten warheads apiece.

Now the Russian government has

assured us that talks are underway.

They claim that Radchenko forces

do not possess the launch codes.

But if Radchenko

were to crack them...

they could launch against

our west coast direct...

or come in over the Pole,

take out Washington and New York.

[Admiral] The Commander-in-Chief...

has directed U.S. Military forces...

to set DEFCON four.

We've been ordered

to get underway at 0600 hours...

to assume alert coverage, mid-Pacific,

the Far Eastern TVD target package.

Please keep your men informed.

Lieutenant Commander Hunter

is our new X.O.

Please bring him up to speed on

ship's personnel and supplies. Admiral?

- No, that's it.

- On your feet.

- [Door Closes]

- [Men Muttering]

- Here we go again, Commander.

- Thank you.

You bet. Hey, Bobby.

This is Bobby Dougherty. He's Supplies.

- Pleasure, Dougherty.

- Billy Linkletter, TSO.

- Mr. Linkletter.

- Commander.

- And you know Darik.

- Yes. Westergaurd. Long time no see.

- How's Julia?

- She's excellent.

- Good.

- And Roy Zimmer, Communications.

- Welcome aboard.

- Thank you.

- We served together on the Baton Rouge.

- Twice.

- That's right. We're lucky to have him.

- I think his dog gave me

the final seal of approval.

- He's crazy about that dog.

Takes him everywhere. The Navy looks

the other way 'cause he's Ramsey.

Navy looks the other way

'cause he's one of the few skippers

left who've seen combat.
