Men of Honor Page #2

Let's go, Carl!

Beat him by a mile!

- Whoo!

- Oh!

Okay.

You got anything

to say for yourself?

Your response is noted.

You ever hear of

the Search and Rescue swimmers?

- You know, sailor falls overboard,

these men --

- Dive in and save 'em. Yes.

You just became one.

I'm transferring you to their unit.

You're the fastest damn swimmer

on this ship,

and you have got the balls

to back it up.

Thank you, sir. I'll pack up

and report to the deck department--

You're just there to swim.

Nothing else.

Stay with the stewards.

Let him out.

Hey, Carl. You know, the only reason

your ass ain't in the brig...

is 'cause you high yellow, boy.

- Damn!

- Search and Rescue Squad.

Boy, you in good

with Captain Pullman now.

Put in a good word for me, they

might let me drive the boat.

"You're never

gonna believe it, but yesterday...

I made Seaman, which is Navy

for a glorified deck hand.

I'm still not sure what I'm gonna be,

but I'll make you proud of me yet.

Anyway, Dad, sounds like the mail

chopper's here, so I better get topside.

Give Mom a big hug for me.

Your loving son, Carl. "

- Good afternoon, Chief.

What the--

Mail chopper clipped

a radio mast!He's down!He's down!

Splash a diver, now!Men on

that chopper. I want 'em up alive.

Diver's coming up.

Bring it up.

Bring it up!

Come on! Faster! Pull him up!

Come on, Vince. Pull him up!

- Come on! Faster, faster!

- Brashear, get on that steadying line.

Keep it up!

Lay back into that! Keep it steady!

Keep it steady!

Keep it steady!

Bring him in!

Coming down!

Bring him down!

Sailors, get him up!

On the hatch. Ready?

Come on.

Face down!

- No.

- Goddamn!

If I'd just been a couple of minutes

earlier, he'd be breathin'now!

You did your best,

Chief Sunday. Lieutenant Hanks.

Sir.

- Complete the diving operation.

- Yes, sir.

The copilot is still in the water.

Caughlin, it's your turn over the side.

Bring that man home. Hat him.

Take Chief Sunday to the chamber

for decompression.

Lay back on him.

On the side!

Diver comin'up

and over!

- Chief?

- Drop the goddamn weight!

Drop the weight!

- Man overboard!

- Stand by divers, you're in!

What the hell's going on?

Master Chief,

we just lost Caughlin, sir.

- We got a standby diver going--

- He can't wait that long.

Tellme what you're doing?

I got a man on.

Gonna bounce dive, put him on

a rescue line and yank him out.

- Bounce dive?

- Bounce back before

the nitrogen builds in my system.

He's too deep already,

and you will call me "sir."

Goddamn it, I got a man dyin'

down there, sir!

Give mea wrench! Give me

that spare life line and air hose!

I've lost two men

on my watch.
