Operation Pacific Page #2

Synopsis: The submarine USS Thunderfish successfully completes a secret mission to rescue a group of orphans on a remote Pacific island. On the way back to Honolulu they encounter a Japanese aircraft carrier but the torpedoes they fire explode about halfway to the target, a recurring problem that has plagued the submarine fleet for some time. The Thunderfish's XO, Duke Gifford runs into his ex-wife and Navy nurse Mary Stuart at the hospital. There's still a spark between them but the boat is sent out on another mission before anything is resolved. When Gifford's good friend and captain, Pop Perry, is killed Gifford believe it's his fault. A inquiry clears him and after he and his men solve the problem of the misfiring torpedoes, they set out to sea.

-Damage control report, sir.

Commander Submarine Thunder to

COMSUBPAC, Pearl Harbor.

Women and children aboard.

Request ambulance and nurses.

Suggest Mary Stuart meet Thunder.

Make it a priority message.

Women and children are coming in aboard

the submarine, Thunder. Go pick them up.

- Thunder?

-Yes.

I'd like to be excused.

My ex-husband's on that boat.

-But I thought you wanted to meet him.

-I do.

But on the Thunder

I'll be the visiting team.

I'd like the first meeting

to be on my home ground.

As your senior officer, I should comply

with his request and order you to go.

But as one woman to another,

how is your headache?

-Splitting.

-You're excused.

Thank you.

Attention!

Permission to come aboard, sir.

-Good afternoon.

-Welcome to Pearl.

Hello.

-Somebody enjoyed himself in Australia?

-Yes, sir. Nice people down there.

We're happy to be home too, sir.

Chief?

-Good afternoon, sir.

-What's the matter? You look worried.

I lost one of my children, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Shall we go below, gentlemen?

Sorry about your carrier, Pop.

We contacted the Saratoga. Her planes

got the cruiser and two destroyers.

-The carrier got away.

-Better luck next patrol.

We would have racked her up

ourselves, Admiral...

except for those two prematures

that rattled our eyeteeth.

What are we gonna do

about those torpedoes?

Sure knocked the bottom out of my gang.

Those magnetic exploders

are driving us all crazy.

Everybody from the Bureau of Ordinance

on down is working on it.

We're doing something.

We're dropping them next patrol.

Good.

We're going back to contact exploders.

Maybe we can get a few hits now.

Here is our patrol report.

Yes?

Sister Anna is leaving

and wants to say goodbye.

Go ahead.

Duke, you brought them aboard.

You take the bow.

Bows we take together.

'Bye.

-We've been looking for you.

-Commander Gifford.

We've been wondering what to say

after "thank you"?

-Leave it at that.

-It's been a pleasure to have you aboard.

Tonight in chapel,

I know the words will come to me.

I seem to think better

when I'm kneeling. Goodbye.

-What's the matter?

-Oh, nothing!

Don't you think we better get below with

the braid?

Just a minute. I'll be right back.

I'm sorry, Nurse. I thought she was...

I thought you were somebody else.

I beg your pardon.

Think you knew her?

There was a nurse in Darwin and l....

We better get below.

-Do you want to have them all crying?

-No, I was--

-Where's your mask?

-Mask?

Over your nose.

You're breathing germs on them.

-Where's yours?

-Are you the baby's father?

-No.

-You shouldn't be here. Leave.

Wait. I carried that baby through jungles,

helped deliver him.
