Battleship Page #3

---

fighting ship in american naval history,

the MIGHTY MO. The USS MISSOURI.

Sh*t!

- Hopper, your cover!

- Keeping you on your toes.

Hopper! Let's go, come on! Hopper.

That way's the Admiral. I knew that.

I knew that. We knew that.

The USS Missouri was the final battleship to

be completed by the United States,

before being decomisioned and replaced

by a more modern fleet of vessels,

like Destroyers.

What's the diference between a battleship and a destroyer?

You see...

Battleships are great ships,

But they're kinda like dinosaurs.

They're designed to take hits.

Kinda like a floating punching bag.

But then there are destroyers which are just awesome.

They're designed to dish it out like the Terminator!

- Are you a captain?

- No he's not a captain because he's always late.

- Come on!

- I fight the ship.

- Come on!

- Which is even better!

- Listen get it done. Get it done.

- Babe it's a formality. I'm all over it.

Ok! Go!

We have with us today,

veterans from the MISSOURI.

Who have served on her, some going back to WWII.

Examples of the finest men to have ever served in any navy.

Lt. Hopper, what an honor.

Thank you for joining us.

Good to be here.

And now as we prepare to embark in this outstanding...

- I'm nervous.

- Shades off.

...I would like the commanding officers to come to the stage.

Captain Nagata, Japan.

- Konnichiwa!

- Captain Lou, Malaysia.

- Allo! Allo!

It's so close. Like the way we say it.

He hates me.

He doesn't hate you! Shut up, shut up.

- Captain Jacks, Australia!

- G'Day!

Shut up!

- Captain Zhao, Singapore!

- G'Day.

- Shut up!

- G'Day.

A special acknowledgment to Commander

Stone Hopper, US Navy...

Stay calm. Knock em out.

who along with his outstanding crew and ship

had the highest overall rating last year.

Shades off Hopper!

- Commander.

- Thank you Admiral.

Welcome everybody,

it's really great to see you all here today.

Especially you gentlemen.

It's a true honor.

Me and my crew are gonna have to

be on our toes this year.

Because your ships look outstanding

and your men look ready.

So good luck out there!

Be safe! Keep chargin!

He loves his daughter. She loves you,

he's gonna respect that.

- Hey, Mike!

- Admiral!

You remember Sam?

It's an obsolete tradition.

Just asking for permission.

- Tell me that came from...

- Stop.

- Sam is a physical therapist.

- Stop worrying about this...

and walk up and do what you gotta do.

- Hello Hopper!

- Why are you here?

This is gonna be sweet!

- I was within the rules.

- Really?

Were you within the rules when

you kicked me in the face?

Isn't there some place more important
