Mr. Tyler.

Heart's in the right place.

Just need to give it

some time.

Yeah, I heard

about what happened to you.

That's one of the advantages

of bein' seen and...

not bein' seen.

You'd be surprised

some of the sh*t

we mess-doers hear.

[Clattering]

Boy, don't go droppin'

my eggs.

Damn.

Excuse me, Mr. Tyler.

Look, all you gotta do

is pick 'em up with both hands,

boy, both hands!

Tyler!

When the hell were you

gonna tell me?

I hear this from the chief.

What do you want me to say?

He sh*t-canned me.

Now you're gonna transfer

to another boat.

Excuse me. Can either one

of you two tell me where I can

find the exec of this thing?

Yeah, that's me, mac.

Move your truck.

We'll unload shortly.

You'll unload it now.

Here's the manifest.

Get those crates

belowdecks.

Who the hell are you?

Marine Major Coonan,

Office of Naval Intelligence.

I'm goin' to sea with you boys.

That's my luggage.

You got a problem,

talk to Mr. Hirsch.

Clear!

Cast off all lines forward!

Cast off forward!

Take in all lines aft.

Cast off aft!

[Dahlgren]

Rudder amidships,

all ahead one-third.

All ahead one-third!

Bridge hatch shut.

Engine room, secure the diesels.

Shift propulsion to the battery.

Engine room, secure diesels,

shift propulsion to the battery.

Main induction

indicates shut.

Aye.

Green board, Skipper.

Very well.

Passing the 100-fathom curve.

On course, on time, sir.

Engine room reports

secured diesels, propulsion

switched to battery.

Very well.

All ahead two-thirds.

All ahead two-thirds, aye.

Mr. Emmett, take her down.

Make her depth 1-5-0 feet,

ten degree down bubble.

One-five-zero feet,

ten degree down bubble.

Aye, sir.

Chief of the watch,

sound the dive alarm.

Pass the word to 1 MC.

Open the main

ballast tank vents.

Aye, sir, passing the word.

[Man Chattering]

Dive, dive, dive.

Sir, main ballast tank vents

indicate open.

Aye. Both planes

dive, 15 degrees.

Both planes dive, 15 degrees.

All clear!

Decks awash.

Decks awash.

Aye, sir.

First time

on a submarine?

That's right.

Six-zero feet.

[Dahlgren]

Lower the scope.

Captain, engine room reports

minor flooding from shaft seals

and brine pump.

- Bilge is at 18 inches

and rising.

- Very well.

How deep does

this thing go?

She'll go all the way

to the bottom

if we don't stop her.

Normally we try not to get

below 150 feet.

Any deeper, the leaks

overwhelm the pumps.

These S-boats are antiques,

older than most of the crew.

One-zero-zero feet.

Aye.

Excuse me, Mr. Emmett.

Put a pipe patch on it,

lash it with marline.

The yard can fix it

when we get back to port.

Aye, sir.

Relax, gentlemen.

She's old, but she'll hold.
