Pearl Harbor outer marker,
Hey, Case!
What's happening?
Where's your whites?
The Prez is coming.
He won't miss me.
What's this? You're in the Navy,
you've got to look good.
- Cue Ball!
- Where's your whites?
- Poor boy doesn't have a dress uniform.
- I've got the dress, I forgot the pumps.
Tell him not to worry.
Everything here is handled.
Oh, my God.
No, no, that's okay.
We'll take care of it.
Well, it's going to be a zoo.
Chief Ryback.
Send him in.
Get in your dress uniform.
You know how I feel about ceremonies.
I thought this time...
If I had your ribbons,
I'd wear them to bed.
Yes, sir.
Get in your whites.
I'll introduce you to the President.
- I appreciate that, but...
- That's not a good idea.
For once, Commander Krill and I
are in total agreement.
I have 50 gallons of bouillabaisse
I need to prepare by tomorrow.
- My birthday?
- I could do the cheeseburger routine.
It's not for me, it's the crew.
They really love that stuff.
Just don't show your face
till after the ceremony.
You're a sorry-looking sailor.
That I am. Thank you, sir.
Sir...
...why do you tolerate that clown?
I know he's a good cook...
He's more than a good cook. You have
no idea. Now let him be, XO.
Yes, sir.
Fifty years ago today...
... the infamous Japanese attack
destroyed the Pacific fleet...
... here in Pearl Harbor.
In honor of those who died,
the USS Missouri now returns.
Built to avenge Pearl Harbor,
she did.
Days after we dropped the bomb
on Hiroshima...
... Japan surrendered
on the Missouri's deck...
... ending World War II.
The Missouri fired the first shots
of the Gulf War.
Her powerful 16 inch guns destroyed
Iraqi bunkers.
Her Tomahawk missiles rocketed deep
into the heart of Baghdad.
The fastest and most powerful
dreadnought ever to sail the seas...
Where's your tattoo?
Where I got it, you don't want to see.
Now the ship will be decommissioned.
President Bush is paying final tribute
to the ship...
... and her great history.
Did you hear the joke about Andre
and Beaudreau hunting on the bayou?
"Where're the guns, Druillet?"
That's about right.
In the end this unity
of purpose...
These ceremonies not only remember war,
they celebrate peace.
The President ordered the removal
of all Tomahawk cruise missiles...
... from U.S. surface ships.
Tomorrow the ship embarks for
San Francisco for her final voyage.
Her weaponry will be removed,
dismantled, and never fired again.
The vessel will then take her place
in naval history.
We will gain the inevitable triumph,
so help us God.
Look at the money spent
on this photo opportunity.
Ready to go, sir.
Very well, let's single up.
Aye, sir.
Single up all lines.
- Captain, you have clear water to port.
- Very well.
Krill ain't running this ship.
The old man has to okay
all helicopter landings.
How's the captain going to authorize
a surprise party for himself?
We already stowed all the gear.
What's on this helicopter?
This little sweetheart.
- She's in the...
- Yeah, she's in the cake.
That is Miss July '89. Jordan Tate.
- We'll be ready for her.
- Good. Go ahead and keep that.
Lieutenant, we don't have time
to talk about this now.
No time for the security
of nuclear weapons?
Maybe I'm not being clear.
Any watches not crucial shall be
secured during the party...
...including the Marine roving patrol.
We're operating
on a skeleton crew.
This is an order.
The log will show I consider this
unsafe, and obeyed under protest.
Fine.
Hey, Cue Ball.
Cue Ball in the house.
Show me a move!
Turn up the tunes! Turn up the tunes!
