Starboard motor running ahead, sir.
Haul in for leaving harbor.
(WHISTLES BLOWING)
GATES:
You know, I never thoughtI'd actually envy anyone
going out on a dull exercise.
Well, come on, James. Let's have
breakfast and start filling in forms.
What's the tide doing, pilot?
About two knots sou'westerly, sir.
Nice day.
- What's the weather forecast?
- Pretty good, sir.
Hope it's right. We're playing cricket this
evening, return match against Portland.
- Mind you beat them.
- It's in the bag.
- We're in position now, sir.
- Thanks. Clear the bridge.
- First lieutenant?
- MANSON. :
Number One, here, sir.- All set?
- All set, sir.
- Use Q.
- Use Q tank, aye, aye, sir.
- What the hell do you think you're doing?
- I'm sorry, sir. That was Clarrie, sir.
- She's a homing pigeon. I'm sorry, sir.
- You blithering idiot, Higgins.
This is a submarine, not a blasted aviary.
Tell the coxswain
you're in the First Lieutenant's report.
Aye, aye, sir. I'm very sorry, sir.
Lunatic.
(FOGHORN SOUNDING)
- Here, what's an aviary?
- It's a place where birds are kept.
- I thought he was being rude.
- Flood Q.
Flood Q, sir.
Can you see the diving signal?
- Thirty feet, sir.
SAILORS:
Thirty feet, sir.- ARMSTRONG:
Low Q.- Low Q, sir.
- How's our position, Sub?
- I'm just plotting it now.
Good.
Snort mast all correct, sir.
Got a good charge.
Right, Chief.
We'll start the asdic exercise at 2:00.
Seen this?
A report of the Admiral's inspection
last week.
"Engine room department
well-run and efficient."
That's nice of him.
"Morale of the whole ship's company
seemed excellent."
- Well, why shouldn't it be?
- Yes, that's what I was wondering.
I don't suppose the old boy's ever served
in anything smaller than a battleship,
let alone one of these things.
He probably thinks we're all slightly mad.
Liable to crack under the strain
at any moment.
But I always feel much better,
don't you, sir?
Yes. More peaceful, isn't it?
Echo, sir. Two degrees, starboard bow.
Range, 1000 yards.
Well, check that.
I can't see anything there.
Still hear it, sir.
Snipe, ask the captain to come
to control room, will you?
SNIPE:
Sir.Captain, sir? The First Lieutenant would
like you to come to the control room.
ARMSTRONG:
All right.What is it, Number One?
Asdic reports an echo, sir. Green two,
half a mile. I can't see anything there.
We had a fix lately, pilot?
Yes, sir,
just before the coastline disappeared.
Let's have a look.
- Still got it?
- It's disappeared now, sir.
It must have been a false echo.
Nothing on the horizon
It was very clear, sir.
A small object, I'd say, but very clear.
