Let me speak

to the officer in charge.

Try it again tomorrow.

I only wanted to say

how sympathetic I am

about the change in command.

These decisions are not always

for us to understand.

Thank you, Comrade Suslov.

Still, it's an honor to serve

in this boat in any capacity.

indeed.

It's historic.

Excuse me.

Checking the pressurizer?

Yes, Lieutenant.

You know religious icons

are forbidden?

Yeah?

This is the future, Pavel.

Cars that never need refueling.

Free power for every family.

Maybe even travel to the planets.

It's a privilege

to be a part of this future.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Good morning, gentlemen.

- What's this?

- We only shower on Saturdays.

Action stations. Chemical fire

in motor control compartment.

This is a drill.

Watch out!

Fire in the main switchboard,

C2L.

Come on, come on!

Valve rupture in compartment eight.

Torpedo fuel spill in aft torpedo room.

Start the drill again.

Comrades, officers and sailors,

remember...

the American propaganda will always

play on your baser primitive instincts.

Greed, lust, individualism.

In American propaganda,

you will see how everybody has a car,

nice clothes, a nice apartment.

But you will never see

the truth behind this lie.

You will not see police dogs attacking

demonstrators for civil rights.

You will not see beggars, the

homeless, the Negro shantytowns.

You will not see the warmongers

who threaten the world

with nuclear holocaust.

Stand by to simulate firing

torpedo number eight.

- Number eight isn't loaded, Captain.

- I know that.

I want you to unload seven

and load eight.

- Now, please.

- Captain.

Ice formations near our depth.

I suggest we go deeper

and run the drill later.

Negative. Ice formations will not be

suspended in the event of war.

Unload seven torpedo.

Load eight torpedo.

Unload seven torpedo.

Load eight torpedo. This is a drill.

Will we ever stop?

We need the rest.

Quiet!

Proceed to your action stations

immediately.

Come on!

Gauge in gear.

Torpedo withdrawn.

Open number eight.

Traverse torpedo!

Traverse torpedo!

Dimitri!

Come on, help me!

Come on! Don't stop!

Vasily! Vasily!

Two men are injured.

Have them seen by the doctor

and start the drill again.

Two men short, Captain.

Have them put the torpedo back

in tube seven and start the drill again.

- Traverse torpedo!

- Traversing torpedo!

Going under! Clear!

Attention!

At ease.

I was told there was

some complaining.

So...any complaints?

There's no complaints here, Captain.

Good.

It's not the men's fault.

It's your fault...the officers.

You have failed

to set high standards,

to correct their deficiencies.

If you do your job,
