[radio static]
2
00:00:38,043 --> 00:00:40,921
[Winston Churchill] Twice in a single generation,
3
00:00:41,004 --> 00:00:45,300
the catastrophe of world war has fallen upon us.
4
00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:50,097
Twice in our lifetime has the long arm of fate
5
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:52,140
reached out across the oceans
6
00:00:52,224 --> 00:00:55,936
to bring the United States into the forefront of the battle.
7
00:00:56,687 --> 00:00:59,815
[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Our American merchant ships must be free
8
00:00:59,898 --> 00:01:04,318
to carry our American goods into the harbors of our friends.
9
00:01:04,402 --> 00:01:10,284
And our American merchant ships must be protected by our American Navy.
10
00:01:11,493 --> 00:01:15,455
[Churchill] The brunt of the war has fallen upon the sailormen,
11
00:01:15,539 --> 00:01:18,792
and we have lost nearly 3,000 lives
12
00:01:18,876 --> 00:01:23,005
in a hard, unrelenting struggle,
13
00:01:23,088 --> 00:01:26,675
which goes on night and day
14
00:01:26,758 --> 00:01:30,888
and is going on now without a moment's respite.
15
00:01:31,263 --> 00:01:34,850
[Roosevelt] The goods will be delivered by this nation,
16
00:01:34,933 --> 00:01:38,687
whose navy believes in the tradition
17
00:01:39,188 --> 00:01:42,357
of "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
18
00:02:42,292 --> 00:02:44,711
[thunder rumbling]
19
00:03:08,986 --> 00:03:12,948
[man] "Dear Lord, let your holy angel be with me,

00:03:13,031 --> 00:03:17,744

Merry Christmas.

[chattering continues]
26
00:04:11,548 --> 00:04:12,716
[woman] Merry Christmas.
27
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:14,301
Cigars?
28
00:04:19,056 --> 00:04:21,391
"Yesterday, today and forever."
29
00:04:21,475 --> 00:04:24,394
That's beautiful. I'll put it on my tree.
30
00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:28,607
[sighs] All right. Your turn. Come on.
31
00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:29,900
All right.
32
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:38,200
Monogrammed.
33
00:04:41,662 --> 00:04:42,663
What's this?
34
00:04:44,915 --> 00:04:46,375
Congratulations.
35
00:04:46,458 --> 00:04:48,877
Your first command. At last.
36
00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:50,420
Aw.
37
00:04:51,547 --> 00:04:55,717
After all those years of being fitted and retained, a Fletcher-class destroyer.
38
00:04:55,801 --> 00:04:57,261
You deserve it.
39
00:04:57,344 --> 00:05:00,514
I knew after Pearl Harbor they would be needing men like you.
40
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:04,142
I report to Norfolk right after the first of the year.
41
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:07,521
Norfolk? Not Treasure Island?
42
00:05:07,604 --> 00:05:09,523
That's the navy in a nutshell, isn't it?
43
00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:11,233
Yeah.
44
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:15,362
Then the Caribbean for training and tactics.
45
00:05:15,445 --> 00:05:18,949
Jamaica, the Bahamas, Cuba. Rum and Coca-Cola.
46
00:05:19,616 --> 00:05:21,243
-Mm. -Then active duty.
47
00:05:22,744 --> 00:05:23,745
Come with me.
48
00:05:24,454 --> 00:05:25,539
[chuckles]
49
00:05:25,622 --> 00:05:26,999
I mean it.
50
00:05:29,793 --> 00:05:32,588
So I can ask you to marry me on a tropical beach.
51
00:05:35,966 --> 00:05:38,552
Oh, I'd like that, but we can't.
52
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,848
The world has gone crazy, Ernie.
53
00:05:42,931 --> 00:05:45,142
Let's wait until we can be together.
54
00:06:03,327 --> 00:06:05,537
I will always be looking for you, Evie.
55
00:06:06,747 --> 00:06:08,165
No matter where I am.
56
00:06:09,958 --> 00:06:11,793
Even if I'm a thousand miles away,
57
00:06:11,877 --> 00:06:15,047
I will be hoping I'll see you come around the corner.
58
00:06:16,882 --> 00:06:20,552
Because when you do, it's-- it's the greatest feeling in the world.
59
00:06:50,666 --> 00:06:52,209
-Morning. -[men] Morning, Captain.
60
00:06:53,168 --> 00:06:54,878
Charlie, how are the overnights?
61
00:06:54,962 --> 00:06:56,547
Convoy's three days into the Pit.
62
00:06:56,630 --> 00:06:59,258
No contacts, no incidents, except on your ship, sir.
63
00:06:59,925 --> 00:07:02,886
Two bored sailors with time on their hands, which became fists.
64
00:07:02,970 --> 00:07:04,972
-Who? -Shannon and Flusser.
65
00:07:05,055 --> 00:07:07,391
-Crew's getting nervous, Ernie. -Sleep well, sir?
66
00:07:08,016 --> 00:07:10,185
I've never had the gift for sleeping onboard.
67
00:07:10,269 --> 00:07:12,938
Hmm. And I can't sleep anywhere else, sir.
68
00:07:18,861 --> 00:07:20,237
-Amen. -[man] Amen.
69
00:07:20,863 --> 00:07:22,614
Sea's a bit high to serve hot food.
70
00:07:22,698 --> 00:07:24,867
I could manage a ham steak and eggs for you, sir.
71
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:27,244
-This will do. Thank you, Cleveland. -Aye, aye, Captain.
72
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,125
Report to the commanding officer. Clear the room.
73
00:07:40,215 --> 00:07:41,216
Uncover.
74
00:07:49,391 --> 00:07:50,392
[sighs]
75
00:07:55,898 --> 00:07:57,149
Explain yourselves.
76
00:07:59,109 --> 00:08:00,110
Flusser.
77
00:08:00,694 --> 00:08:02,029
I regret the incident, sir.
78
00:08:03,739 --> 00:08:04,823
Shannon.
79
00:08:05,574 --> 00:08:08,076
I too regret the incident.
80
00:08:19,838 --> 00:08:22,758
I will tolerate no more fisticuffs on my ship.
81
00:08:22,841 --> 00:08:24,384
So...
82
00:08:24,468 --> 00:08:28,222
"restore the relationships you have damaged and fill me with peace."
83
00:08:33,101 --> 00:08:34,102
Sir?
84
00:08:35,354 --> 00:08:38,232
[man on PA] Captain requested, bridge, sir. Captain requested, bridge.
85
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:44,613
Repetition will bring hell down from on high.
86
00:08:46,823 --> 00:08:48,116
Back to your duties.
87
00:08:49,368 --> 00:08:50,452
Count your blessings.
88
00:08:52,037 --> 00:08:53,163
[man] Captain on the bridge.
89
00:08:54,665 --> 00:08:55,666
[man 2] Aye.
90
00:08:55,749 --> 00:08:57,042
Sir, good morning.
91
00:08:57,125 --> 00:09:00,379
Escorts Eagle and Harry are out of position, six miles from convoy.
92
00:09:00,796 --> 00:09:03,924
They've been off on their own, sir, for roughly two hours.
93
00:09:16,144 --> 00:09:18,313
Eagle skipper announced, "Starting the day with a good hunt," sir,
94
00:09:18,397 --> 00:09:19,731
and then Harry joined in.
95
00:09:32,119 --> 00:09:33,787
[messenger] Message from the commodore, sir.
96
00:09:33,871 --> 00:09:35,330
Read it out.
97
00:09:35,414 --> 00:09:39,418
"Comconvoy to Comescort. H-U-F-F D-U-F-F"--
98
00:09:39,501 --> 00:09:42,754
"Huff Duff." High-frequency direction finding. Continue, please.
99
00:09:43,714 --> 00:09:47,259
"Huff Duff reports a German transmission bearing 087 degrees.
100
00:09:47,342 --> 00:09:49,553
Range 15 to 20 miles."
101
00:09:49,636 --> 00:09:51,430
Commodore says a likely U-boat, sir.
102
00:09:56,810 --> 00:09:59,188
"Comescort to Comconvoy. Will run it down."
103
00:09:59,271 --> 00:10:00,898
"Comescort to Comconvoy. Will run it down."
104
00:10:00,981 --> 00:10:02,482
Wait, wait. "Will run it down. Thank you."
105
00:10:02,566 --> 00:10:03,901
"Will run it down. Thank you." Aye, aye, sir.
106
00:10:03,984 --> 00:10:06,528
-Mister Carling, I have the conn. -Captain has the conn.
107
00:10:06,612 --> 00:10:08,655
All ahead full. Make turns for 36 knots.
108
00:10:08,739 --> 00:10:11,408
All ahead full. Make turns for 36 knots. Aye, sir.
109
00:10:11,491 --> 00:10:13,368
Right standard rudder, 079.
110
00:10:13,452 --> 00:10:15,662
[helmsman] Right standard rudder to 079. Aye, aye, sir.
111
00:10:18,415 --> 00:10:22,628
All escorts, Greyhound. Return to your stations immediately.
112
00:10:22,711 --> 00:10:27,758
We have enemy contact bearing 087, range 15 to 20 miles.
113
00:10:27,841 --> 00:10:29,218
-[man 1] Aye, sir. -[man 2] Aye, aye, sir.
114

-[man 3] Aye, Greyhound. -Dicky, Greyhound.
115
00:10:31,428 --> 00:10:34,389
-Dicky, sir. -Modify your station to assist the convoy
116
00:10:34,473 --> 00:10:35,766
on the starboard side.
117
00:10:35,849 --> 00:10:38,352
Stragglers are mistiming the course change.
118
00:10:38,435 --> 00:10:41,271
Keep your sonar on that starboard flank.
119
00:10:41,355 --> 00:10:43,607
[Dicky] Aye, sir. Sonar, starboard flank.
120
00:10:43,690 --> 00:10:44,900
[Ernie] Right full rudder, 087.
121
00:10:44,983 --> 00:10:47,110
[helmsman] Right full rudder to 087. Aye, aye, sir.
122
00:10:47,194 --> 00:10:49,780
-Bring us up to general quarters. -Boatswain, sound general quarters.
123
00:10:51,490 --> 00:10:53,617
[siren blaring]
124
00:10:54,368 --> 00:10:55,702
General quarters, general quarters...
125
00:10:55,786 --> 00:10:57,663
-[man] Move. Let's go. -...all hands, man your battle stations.
126
00:10:57,746 --> 00:10:59,873
We are running down a possible U-boat contact.
127
00:11:00,541 --> 00:11:04,586
[siren continues blaring]
128
00:11:06,088 --> 00:11:07,673
[man 1] Let's hammer those sons of bitches.
129
00:11:08,715 --> 00:11:10,300
[man 2] Keep 'em coming, Cleveland.
130
00:11:13,387 --> 00:11:16,431
[Ernie] Eagle, Greyhound. Take my position at the front of the convoy.
131
00:11:16,515 --> 00:11:17,975
We're pursuing the target.
132
00:11:18,058 --> 00:11:19,893
Dicky, Greyhound. Cover the right flank.
133
00:11:19,977 --> 00:11:21,895
[Eagle] Front of convoy. Aye, aye, sir.
134
00:11:21,979 --> 00:11:23,897
[Dicky] Aye, sir. Covering right flank.
135
00:11:24,773 --> 00:11:26,149
Eagle, Harry, Greyhound.
136
00:11:26,233 --> 00:11:28,443
What is your ETA for resuming new stations?
137
00:11:28,986 --> 00:11:31,738
Greyhound, Eagle. We can be at our station in 20 minutes.
138
00:11:32,781 --> 00:11:35,701
Harry, sir. We're now four miles to port of the convoy.
139
00:11:35,784 --> 00:11:39,913
Yes, I know, Harry. Return to your station at best speed.
140
00:11:40,455 --> 00:11:43,000
Sir, I relieved Mister Carling. Have the deck and the conn.
141
00:11:43,083 --> 00:11:46,795
Mister Watson, we have a target bearing 087, range 15 to 20 miles.
142
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:48,922
-I have the conn. -Aye, aye, sir. Captain has the conn.
143
00:11:49,006 --> 00:11:50,299
-[Ernie] Messenger. -Sir.
144
00:11:50,382 --> 00:11:52,634
Go to my cabin and bring me my sheepskin coat. You'll find it.
145
00:11:52,718 --> 00:11:53,719
Aye, aye, sir.
146
00:11:55,053 --> 00:11:56,763
Combat, Conn. Charlie.
147
00:11:56,847 --> 00:12:01,643
We're running down a likely sub bearing 087, range 15 to 20 miles.
148
00:12:01,727 --> 00:12:04,313
I'm hoping it shows up on your surface radar.
149
00:12:05,189 --> 00:12:06,732
Conn, Combat. Aye, aye, sir.
150
00:12:09,902 --> 00:12:13,280
[man blowing pipe]
151
00:12:14,573 --> 00:12:15,616
[blowing stops]
152
00:12:15,699 --> 00:12:17,618
Now hear this, now hear this.
153
00:12:19,786 --> 00:12:21,163
This is the captain.
154
00:12:21,538 --> 00:12:22,915
We are running down the target.
155
00:12:22,998 --> 00:12:26,585
Let us attend our duties well. This is what we've trained for.
156
00:12:26,668 --> 00:12:28,921
-Martin, what you got? -Nothing yet, sir.
157
00:12:39,097 --> 00:12:40,849
-[clicking] -[Martin] Got him.
158
00:12:42,309 --> 00:12:47,272
Conn, Combat. Target bearing 092, range 15 miles.
159
00:12:47,356 --> 00:12:49,149
Charlie, what do you make of this target?
160
00:12:49,233 --> 00:12:50,984
Most likely a U-boat, sir.
161
00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:54,530
Up for air and a battery charge. Gettin' ready to come at us, Captain.
162
00:12:58,325 --> 00:12:59,993
[Watson] Steady on 092, sir.
163
00:13:00,577 --> 00:13:01,703
Very well.
164
00:13:06,458 --> 00:13:11,713
Conn, Combat. Target bearing steady at 094, range 12 miles.
165
00:13:11,797 --> 00:13:14,800
Weapons, pass the word, do not open fire without orders from me.
166
00:13:20,889 --> 00:13:22,766
Range 11 miles, bearing steady on 094.
167
00:13:22,850 --> 00:13:25,686
Range 11 miles, bearing steady on 094.
168
00:13:25,769 --> 00:13:30,399
[helmsman whistling]
169
00:13:33,694 --> 00:13:35,028
[Watson] Stop that noise.
170
00:13:35,112 --> 00:13:38,532
Range 9.5 miles, bearing steady on 094.
171
00:13:41,034 --> 00:13:42,786
Close enough for the five-inch, sir.
172
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:47,165
Heavy seas, Mister Watson, with only a radar bearing.
173
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:49,793
Let's have our eyes on him.
174
00:13:49,877 --> 00:13:50,878
Aye, aye, sir.

176
00:14:13,984 --> 00:14:17,279
Target's disappeared, sir. Fell off the radar about six miles out.
177
00:14:18,822 --> 00:14:19,907
What's this, Charlie?
178
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,700
Looks like he's dived, sir, by the way the pips faded out.
179
00:14:21,783 --> 00:14:24,286
He must've seen us, sir. Got his air and dove.
180
00:14:24,369 --> 00:14:26,747
Pips had him on course for us and the convoy, sir.
181
00:14:26,830 --> 00:14:28,373
Can you plot a search radius?
182
00:14:28,457 --> 00:14:31,877
I could, sir, but in ten minutes, the radius would be three square miles.
183
00:14:34,838 --> 00:14:36,131
Give me a course to intercept
184
00:14:36,215 --> 00:14:38,926
if the target maintains this course at six knots.
185
00:14:39,009 --> 00:14:40,052
Aye, aye, sir.
186
00:14:57,152 --> 00:15:00,531
Conn, Combat. Course to intercept is 096.
187
00:15:01,448 --> 00:15:03,575
Warn me two miles out from this intercept.
188

Aye, aye, sir.
189
00:15:04,868 --> 00:15:06,620

[Watson] Combat reports two miles from intercept, sir.
192
00:15:29,184 --> 00:15:32,271
Mister Watson, we need to slow down for sonar. Make turns for 22 knots.
193
00:15:32,354 --> 00:15:34,231
[Watson] Make turns for 22 knots, aye, aye, sir.

Contact bearing steady at 091.
205
00:16:10,142 --> 00:16:12,352
He's turned. Looks like he's running from us, sir.
206
00:16:12,436 --> 00:16:13,437
Any screw noises?

No, Mister Watson.
329
00:23:53,856 --> 00:23:55,899

Nah, take that to Lieutenant Cole.

Yes. Fifty souls.
348
00:24:59,129 --> 00:25:02,174
Sir, permission to secure boilers two and four?
349
00:25:02,257 --> 00:25:04,343
Mister Nystrom, are you not the officer of the deck?
350
00:25:04,426 --> 00:25:05,719
Yes, sir, I am, sir.
351
00:25:05,802 --> 00:25:08,055
Then take that to the chief engineer without bothering me.
352
00:25:08,138 --> 00:25:11,475
Aye, sir. Uh, our noon position report, sir.
353
00:25:11,558 --> 00:25:14,311
I'm estimating we are at Position Oboe
354
00:25:14,394 --> 00:25:16,355
in the North Atlantic, surrounded by open sea.
355
00:25:16,438 --> 00:25:18,148
-That about right? -If you say so, sir.
356
00:25:18,232 --> 00:25:20,734
Take us back to station ahead of the convoy, center column.
357
00:25:20,817 --> 00:25:22,653
Ahead of convoy, center column. Aye, sir.
358
00:25:24,488 --> 00:25:27,824
Left standard rudder. Steer course 190.
359
00:25:27,908 --> 00:25:31,161
[helmsman] Left standard rudder, steering course 190. Aye, sir.
360
00:25:45,259 --> 00:25:47,386
[helmsman] ...rudder. Steer course 270. Aye, sir.
361
00:25:47,469 --> 00:25:48,512
Sir.
362
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,932
Your helmet, sir. Shall I see it stowed away?
363
00:25:54,184 --> 00:25:55,227
Yes, thank you.
364
00:25:59,064 --> 00:26:00,399
[man] Sir,
365
00:26:00,482 --> 00:26:03,735
noon fuel reports will be slightly off due to that U-boat chase.
366
00:26:03,819 --> 00:26:05,195
Still waiting on reports from Dodge,
367
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:08,031
but Viktor and James are reporting diminishing reserves.
368
00:26:08,115 --> 00:26:09,449
Send a reply.
369
00:26:11,076 --> 00:26:15,372
"Comescort to James. Please use utmost efforts to conserve fuel."
370
00:26:15,455 --> 00:26:16,498
Aye, sir.
371
00:26:17,749 --> 00:26:19,793
Sir, after that last pattern, now might be a good time
372
00:26:19,877 --> 00:26:22,296
to bring up the extra supply of depth charges stowed in the crew quarters.
373
00:26:22,379 --> 00:26:24,381
-Permission granted. Thank you. -Aye, sir.
374
00:26:31,555 --> 00:26:32,973
[shudders]
375
00:26:34,683 --> 00:26:35,893
[lookout, on radio] Two distress rockets...
376
00:26:35,976 --> 00:26:38,729
Forward Lookout reports two distress rockets rear of the convoy.
377
00:26:39,855 --> 00:26:41,106
[Ernie] Reciprocal course.
378
00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:43,734
-Mister Nystrom, I have the conn. -Captain has the conn.
379
00:26:52,117 --> 00:26:53,118
Where?
380
00:26:53,202 --> 00:26:55,329
There, sir. That's the Despotiko, sir.
381
00:26:55,412 --> 00:26:57,497
She's a merchant ship. Last ship in the line.
382
00:27:02,169 --> 00:27:04,630
Signals report commodore signaling general alarm, sir.
383
00:27:04,713 --> 00:27:06,965
Mister Nystrom, come left at 200.
384
00:27:07,049 --> 00:27:08,967
Alert all escorts, "I'm going to the rear."
385
00:27:09,051 --> 00:27:12,596
Send in Cadena for rescue and bring us up to general quarters.
386
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:16,683
[man] General quarters. General quarters. All hands, man your battle stations.
387
00:27:16,767 --> 00:27:20,020
-[siren blaring] -All ahead standard. Sonar, resume sweeps.
388
00:27:20,646 --> 00:27:22,689
[talker] Sonar, Bridge. Resume sweeps.
389
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,677
[lookout] Torpedo! Torpedo! Bearing 205, range 500.
390
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,929
-Where? -There, sir.
391
00:27:57,683 --> 00:28:00,060
-Right full rudder. -Right full rudder. Aye, aye, sir.
392
00:28:04,648 --> 00:28:06,191
Shoot me a bearing of where that came from.
393
00:28:06,275 --> 00:28:07,442
[man] Yes, sir.
394
00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:17,619
Bearing 160.
395
00:28:17,703 --> 00:28:20,497
Charlie, I'm steering to avoid a single torpedo.
396
00:28:20,581 --> 00:28:22,374
Point of origin, 160.
397
00:28:23,166 --> 00:28:25,919
Mister Nystrom, bring us around to port in a reciprocal course
398
00:28:26,003 --> 00:28:27,129
into screening position.
399
00:28:27,212 --> 00:28:29,214
Put us between Cadena and that U-boat.
400
00:28:29,715 --> 00:28:32,718
-Screen Cadena. Aye. Left full rudder. -Left full rudder. Aye, sir.
401
00:28:32,801 --> 00:28:34,094
[Nystrom] All ahead flank.
402
00:28:35,012 --> 00:28:38,515
[man] Message from Cadena, sir. She signals rescue completed.
403
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:39,600
Thank you.
404
00:28:40,642 --> 00:28:41,810
-Messenger. -Captain.
405
00:28:41,894 --> 00:28:43,812
Write this. "Comescort to Cadena.
406
00:28:43,896 --> 00:28:46,982
Rejoin convoy at best speed. Modified zigzag."
407
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:48,483
-Send it. -Aye, sir.
408
00:28:57,492 --> 00:28:59,828
Distant noises. Port quarter, bearing indefinite.
409
00:28:59,912 --> 00:29:02,789
Sonar reports distant noises. Port quarter, bearing indefinite.
410
00:29:02,873 --> 00:29:04,958
Assumes it's hull of ship breaking up, sir.
411
00:29:05,042 --> 00:29:07,419
-Sonar, sweep to starboard. -Sonar, Bridge. Sweep to starboard.
412
00:29:07,502 --> 00:29:10,088
Mister Nystrom, ease the rudder. Meet her.
413
00:29:10,172 --> 00:29:11,798
Maintain this screening position.
414
00:29:11,882 --> 00:29:14,051
[Nystrom] Holding this course. Aye, aye, sir.
415
00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:19,389
Zigzag right. Ten degrees rudder.
416
00:29:19,473 --> 00:29:21,600
[helmsman] Right ten degrees rudder. Aye, sir.
417
00:29:25,979 --> 00:29:27,189
Steady at ten degrees, sir.
418
00:29:28,273 --> 00:29:30,234
-Steady as you go. -[helmsman] Steady as I go.
419
00:29:30,317 --> 00:29:32,027
[messenger] Return message from Cadena, sir.
420
00:29:32,986 --> 00:29:36,615
She's two hours from convoy, sir. Reports 42 men rescued from Despotiko.
421
00:29:38,408 --> 00:29:39,535
Very well. Thank you.
422
00:29:40,118 --> 00:29:41,578
[Charlie] Skipper, we're freezing up.
423
00:29:41,662 --> 00:29:44,331
I've given orders for the steam hoses to keep the depth charges clear.
424
00:29:44,414 --> 00:29:46,959
Greyhound, Harry. Greyhound, Harry.
425
00:29:47,668 --> 00:29:48,710
Greyhound.
426
00:29:48,794 --> 00:29:51,255
Pips on the radar screen, bearing 091, sir.
427
00:29:51,338 --> 00:29:53,632
Looks like two subs directly ahead of the convoy.
428
00:29:53,715 --> 00:29:55,926
-Range 10 miles. -Harry has two contacts, 10 miles.
429
00:29:56,009 --> 00:29:57,386
-Dicky, sir. -Go ahead, Dicky.
430
00:29:57,469 --> 00:30:00,639
We got a pip, bearing 098, range 14 miles.
431
00:30:00,722 --> 00:30:03,392
Greyhound, Eagle. We've got Harry's pip, sir, and another.
432
00:30:03,475 --> 00:30:06,645
Bearing 090, range 13 miles.
433
00:30:07,229 --> 00:30:09,356
Very well. Four contacts now.
434
00:30:09,439 --> 00:30:11,191
Zigzag 20 degrees. Left standard rudder.
435
00:30:11,275 --> 00:30:13,151
[helmsman] Twenty degrees. Left standard rudder. Aye, sir.
436
00:30:13,235 --> 00:30:14,778
Eagle here, with another pip on the move.
437
00:30:14,862 --> 00:30:16,572
-Range five miles, bearing 07... -Another. Five miles,
438
00:30:16,655 --> 00:30:17,906
dead ahead of the convoy.
439
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:20,951
Greyhound, Harry. Nine miles to one pip at 090.
440
00:30:21,034 --> 00:30:23,245
The other bearing 092, range eight miles.
441
00:30:23,328 --> 00:30:24,663
Are the ranges closing?
442
00:30:24,746 --> 00:30:27,332
Negative, Greyhound. They seem to be behaving at present.
443
00:30:27,416 --> 00:30:29,376
Very well. Maintain your stations.
444
00:30:29,459 --> 00:30:31,253
Attack within range and good luck.
445
00:30:34,131 --> 00:30:37,426
A wolf pack shadowing us. They'll attack as a group.
446
00:30:38,594 --> 00:30:41,930
Yeah, waiting for nightfall, when we can't see nothing.
447
00:30:44,183 --> 00:30:45,350
I need you down below.
448
00:30:45,434 --> 00:30:47,686
Keep an eye on the surface radar for our friend back here.
449
00:30:47,769 --> 00:30:48,854
Aye, aye, sir.
450
00:31:11,585 --> 00:31:14,213
Six subs, guys. We got a contact report from Eagle?
451
00:31:14,296 --> 00:31:16,423
[man] Aye, sir, got 'em all. They're keeping their distance.
452
00:31:16,507 --> 00:31:19,259
Five ahead of the convoy and our little dance partner back here,
453
00:31:19,343 --> 00:31:22,679
tracking us and the Cadena. Presumed bearing 196.
454
00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:53,585
-Signal from the commodore, sir. -Read it out.
455
00:31:54,211 --> 00:31:55,754
"Comconvoy to Comescort.
456
00:31:55,837 --> 00:31:59,466
Numerous German language transmissions 10 to 15 miles ahead. Various bearings."
457
00:32:00,217 --> 00:32:01,218
Very well.
458
00:32:01,301 --> 00:32:04,179
I need the gloves you'll find in my cabin. The fur, not the knit.
459
00:32:04,263 --> 00:32:05,806
Gloves. Fur, not knit. Aye, aye, sir.
460
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:20,696
[grunts] Chief Rudel, I need these wipers operating.
461
00:32:20,779 --> 00:32:23,031
It's not electrical, sir. They're frozen.
462
00:32:23,115 --> 00:32:25,492
I can put some men on it with buckets and swabs.
463
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:27,786
Salt water. Warm salt water, not boiling.
464
00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:29,079
Aye, sir.
465
00:32:30,998 --> 00:32:33,542
Conn, Combat. Looks like our friend's come up for fresh air
466
00:32:33,625 --> 00:32:35,252
and to maintain speed with us, sir.
467
00:32:35,335 --> 00:32:39,506
Contact bearing 207, range three miles.
468
00:32:39,590 --> 00:32:41,508
Hard right rudder to 207.
469
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:43,760
[helmsman 2] Hard right rudder to 207. Aye, sir.
470
00:32:51,894 --> 00:32:55,480
[Martin] Target now bears 208.
471
00:32:56,315 --> 00:32:59,401
Target now bears 208. Range...
472
00:32:59,484 --> 00:33:01,945
Range looks like 2.5 miles.
473
00:33:02,029 --> 00:33:03,655
Looks like 2.5 miles.
474
00:33:03,739 --> 00:33:05,032
-What's goin' on? -I don't know, sir.
475
00:33:05,115 --> 00:33:06,283
I can't get a good read.
476
00:33:09,036 --> 00:33:10,746
Come right to 220.
477
00:33:10,829 --> 00:33:12,831
[helmsman] Come right to 220. Aye, sir.
478
00:33:12,915 --> 00:33:16,084
What do you mean, "looks like"? I need a bearing on this target, Charlie.
479
00:33:16,168 --> 00:33:17,711
It's my radar, sir. It's gone soft.
480
00:33:17,794 --> 00:33:20,088
-I need Rudel down here. -Understood.
481
00:33:20,631 --> 00:33:23,050
Have Chief Rudel report to the XO in the CIC.
482
00:33:23,133 --> 00:33:24,885
Mister Lopez, all mounts, local control.
483
00:33:24,968 --> 00:33:26,512
-Fire when they bear. -Aye, aye, sir.
484
00:33:26,595 --> 00:33:29,765
All mounts, local control. Fire as you bear.
485
00:33:31,683 --> 00:33:34,478
[Martin] Bearing's changing. Uh, 203. Range--
486
00:33:34,561 --> 00:33:37,439
Contact bearing's changing, 203.
487
00:33:37,523 --> 00:33:41,485
-Range looks like 2.5 miles. -203, range 2.5 miles.
488
00:33:41,568 --> 00:33:43,195
[Lopez] Firing on target, starboard bow.
489
00:33:43,278 --> 00:33:44,738
Left standard rudder to 180.
490
00:33:44,821 --> 00:33:46,949
[helmsman] Left standard rudder to 180. Aye, sir.
491
00:33:47,032 --> 00:33:50,369
-[lookout] U-boat, starboard bow! -[cannons firing]
492
00:33:59,878 --> 00:34:02,840
[talker] Fire Control reports five-inch mounts opened fire on target.
493
00:34:02,923 --> 00:34:04,925
Eleven rounds fired. No hits observed, sir.
494
00:34:05,008 --> 00:34:06,885
Left standard rudder to 100.
495
00:34:06,969 --> 00:34:10,180
-[helmsman] Left standard rudder to 100. -Messenger, take this to Signals.
496
00:34:10,264 --> 00:34:11,557
"Greyhound to Cadena.
497
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,143
Must return to station at head of convoy to engage targets.
498
00:34:15,227 --> 00:34:17,061
Fired on U-boat. Drove him under.
499
00:34:17,144 --> 00:34:20,273
Have faith you will outrun him. Good luck."
500
00:34:20,356 --> 00:34:21,400
Send that.
501
00:34:21,483 --> 00:34:23,068
[Rudel] You wanted to see me, sir?
502
00:34:23,151 --> 00:34:24,903
Yeah. What can we do about this damn interference?
503
00:34:24,987 --> 00:34:27,114
It's not interference, sir. I checked everything.
504
00:34:27,197 --> 00:34:28,740
The pilot light's on, no surge currents,
505
00:34:28,824 --> 00:34:30,659
and I reset the overload relay four days ago.
506
00:34:30,742 --> 00:34:35,454
I could reset it again, but we're gonna be down nearly two hours. Waste of time, sir.
507
00:34:37,374 --> 00:34:38,416
[radio: buzz]
508
00:34:41,545 --> 00:34:42,546
Bridge.
509
00:34:42,628 --> 00:34:45,257
"The night cometh when no man can work," Ernie.
510
00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:47,134
Rudel's done all he can.
511
00:34:47,217 --> 00:34:50,345
We're just gonna have to live with the radar how it is for now, Captain.
512
00:34:50,929 --> 00:34:52,514
Understood. Thank you, Charlie.
513
00:35:25,047 --> 00:35:27,925
[wind whistling]
514
00:35:32,304 --> 00:35:34,681
[creaking, rattling]
515
00:35:37,643 --> 00:35:41,230
[man on radio] Captain, need to slow in the sea, or we risk blowing a turbine.
516
00:35:41,313 --> 00:35:42,689
Understood.
517
00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:44,942
Mister Harbutt, she can't take it. Slow us down a bit.
518
00:35:45,025 --> 00:35:47,569
-All ahead two-thirds. -All ahead two-thirds. Aye, aye, sir.
519
00:35:47,653 --> 00:35:49,863
-Darken the ship. -[Harbutt] Shift to red.
520
00:35:50,822 --> 00:35:52,199
[Cleveland] You missed another meal, sir.
521
00:35:52,282 --> 00:35:54,910
Brought you a bacon and egg sandwich, still warm.
522
00:35:54,993 --> 00:35:56,745
I found some of those peaches you like.
523
00:36:04,711 --> 00:36:05,712
Amen.
524
00:36:05,796 --> 00:36:06,797
Amen.
525
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,340
I'll keep the coffee coming, sir.
526
00:36:08,799 --> 00:36:10,759
-Coffee, Mister Harbutt? -Thank you, sir.
527
00:36:13,387 --> 00:36:14,680
[distant explosions]
528
00:36:14,763 --> 00:36:16,139
[talker] Distress rockets, sir.
529
00:36:16,223 --> 00:36:19,393
Lookouts report gunfire, bearing 046, range three miles.
530
00:36:19,476 --> 00:36:21,270
[explosions continue]
531
00:36:21,353 --> 00:36:23,397
-I'll take it, Mister Harbutt. -Captain has the conn.
532
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,066
-Bring us up to general quarters. -Boatswain Mate, Condition 1.
533
00:36:26,149 --> 00:36:28,569
[Ernie] Left full rudder. Steer us across the front of the convoy.
534
00:36:28,652 --> 00:36:30,445
[man] General quarters, general quarters.
535
00:36:30,529 --> 00:36:32,155
All hands, man your battle stations.
536
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,450
Set Condition 1 throughout the ship. Lock down all watertight passageways.
537
00:36:35,534 --> 00:36:38,996
[talker] Combat reports sub bearing 036. One and a half miles, sir.
538
00:36:40,122 --> 00:36:41,582
[Ernie] All mounts, fire at will.
539
00:36:41,665 --> 00:36:42,958
[Lopez] All mounts, fire at will.
540
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:49,840
[lookout] Merchant ship dead ahead!
541
00:36:53,635 --> 00:36:54,970
Check fire!
542
00:36:55,053 --> 00:36:57,973
-Hard left rudder, hard over! -[Lopez] Check fire! Cease fire!
543
00:37:18,243 --> 00:37:19,828
[Ernie] Right standard rudder!
544
00:37:19,912 --> 00:37:21,914
[helmsman] Right standard rudder. Aye, aye, sir.
545
00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:34,801
All ahead standard!
546
00:37:37,888 --> 00:37:39,723
Son? You heard the order?
547
00:37:40,516 --> 00:37:42,059
All ahead standard. Aye, aye, sir.
548
00:37:42,142 --> 00:37:43,519
All ahead standard!
549
00:37:47,606 --> 00:37:48,982
[lookout] U-boat!
550
00:37:49,066 --> 00:37:50,150
Where?
551
00:37:50,234 --> 00:37:54,363
U-boat bearing 012, range 1,000! Between us and the freighters!
552
00:37:55,155 --> 00:37:56,990
[explosions]
553
00:38:02,663 --> 00:38:04,748
Check! Check! Check!
554
00:38:04,831 --> 00:38:07,167
Mister Lopez, you have freighters in the line of fire!
555
00:38:07,251 --> 00:38:09,836
-[Lopez] Cease fire, cease fire. -All batteries, check fire!
556
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,839
[men] Cease fire! Cease fire!
557
00:38:16,468 --> 00:38:19,429
[Ernie] Friendly fire, friendly fire! They can't see us!
558
00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:22,474
[grunting]
559
00:38:23,517 --> 00:38:26,395
[screaming]
560
00:38:30,232 --> 00:38:31,567
[Ernie] Close up, close up!
561
00:38:31,650 --> 00:38:34,069
Man that telegraph! Get replacements up here!
562
00:38:38,657 --> 00:38:41,118
-Right full rudder, all ahead two-thirds. -Right full rudder. Aye, aye, sir.
563
00:38:41,201 --> 00:38:43,412
Mister Lopez, prepare to engage that target.
564
00:38:43,495 --> 00:38:46,123
When he dives, we're gonna hammer him with two patterns: shallow, then deep.
565
00:38:46,206 --> 00:38:47,124
[Lopez] Aye, sir!
566
00:38:47,207 --> 00:38:51,253
[Harbutt] That's the Vasco, sir! She's an oil tanker. She could blow!
567
00:38:53,171 --> 00:38:54,756
Mind your helm across the column!
568
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,133
[helmsman] Minding my helm. Aye, aye, sir.
569
00:38:56,216 --> 00:38:58,468
-Slow to one-third. -[talker] Slow to one-third. Aye, sir.
570
00:38:58,552 --> 00:39:00,721
-Watch that merchantman. -Aye, sir.
571
00:39:02,764 --> 00:39:06,101
[lookout] He's diving! U-boat diving, bearing 040.
572
00:39:06,185 --> 00:39:07,394
Range close aboard!
573
00:39:08,228 --> 00:39:09,521
-Mister Lopez. -Aye, sir.
574
00:39:09,605 --> 00:39:10,898
Stand by for shallow pattern.
575
00:39:10,981 --> 00:39:12,733
Stand by for shallow pattern. Aye, aye, sir!
576
00:39:12,816 --> 00:39:14,651
Sonar, sweep for contact to starboard beam.
577
00:39:14,735 --> 00:39:16,945
Sonar, Bridge. Sweep for contact to starboard beam.
578
00:39:19,114 --> 00:39:21,408
Bridge, Sonar. There's too many screws. I can't hear anything.
579
00:39:21,491 --> 00:39:23,619
Sonar reports mixed signals, sir. Too many propellers.
580
00:39:23,702 --> 00:39:25,454
-On my command, Mister Lopez. -Aye, sir.
581
00:39:28,165 --> 00:39:29,958
Still too many screws. Interference from the convoy.
582
00:39:30,042 --> 00:39:32,502
Sonar reports too many screws, sir. Interference from the convoy.
583
00:39:45,849 --> 00:39:47,226
[garbled pinging]
584
00:39:47,309 --> 00:39:48,560
I got something.
585
00:39:56,151 --> 00:39:58,278
Got 'em. Contact close. Starboard beam 083.
586
00:39:58,362 --> 00:40:00,489
Sonar reports contact close. Starboard beam 083, sir.
587
00:40:00,572 --> 00:40:02,199
Correction, starboard beam 088, sir.
588
00:40:02,282 --> 00:40:03,325
Now, Mister Lopez!
589
00:40:03,408 --> 00:40:05,994
[Lopez] Fire, fire! Roll two, fire. Port to starboard.
590
00:40:13,043 --> 00:40:14,628
[Ernie] Next pattern, Mister Lopez.
591
00:40:14,711 --> 00:40:15,754
Again, sir?
592
00:40:15,837 --> 00:40:17,297
Yes, again, Mister Lopez!
593
00:40:17,381 --> 00:40:20,843
All positions, fire when ready. All positions, fire, fire!
594
00:40:20,926 --> 00:40:22,469
Helm, meet her! Head up the lane!
595
00:40:22,553 --> 00:40:25,180
[helmsman] Meet her. Heading up the lane. Aye, aye, sir.
596
00:40:34,857 --> 00:40:35,899
[Ernie] Come on.
597
00:40:37,067 --> 00:40:39,319
-Sonar reports contact bearing-- -[sonarman] Correction.
598
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:41,655
-Correction. Sonar reports... -Questionable screw noises.
599
00:40:41,738 --> 00:40:43,323
...questionable screw noises.
600
00:40:44,074 --> 00:40:45,117
Contact stationary.
601
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,827
Sonar reports contact stationary.
602
00:40:46,910 --> 00:40:47,995
Stationary?
603
00:40:48,662 --> 00:40:50,163
Sonar, Bridge. Anything further?
604
00:40:56,753 --> 00:40:58,589
Still stationary. Possible decoy.
605
00:40:58,672 --> 00:41:02,926
Sonar reports contact is not moving. Possible decoy.
606
00:41:12,728 --> 00:41:13,979
[explosion]
607
00:41:17,191 --> 00:41:18,358
[Harbutt] The tanker, sir!
608
00:41:30,078 --> 00:41:33,874
[lookout] Survivors! Men in the water! Port bow! Port bow!
609
00:41:33,957 --> 00:41:36,627
[talker] Contact. Bearing starboard 538, 538.
610
00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:37,961
Distance 200 yards.
611
00:41:38,045 --> 00:41:40,464
-Mister Harbutt, who's your junior? -Wallace, sir.
612
00:41:40,547 --> 00:41:41,840
Get him out here.
613
00:41:45,177 --> 00:41:47,513
[messenger] Sir, a message from Cadena.
614
00:41:47,596 --> 00:41:48,597
Read it out.
615
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,599
"Merchant ships vulnerable at rear of convoy.
616
00:41:50,682 --> 00:41:52,893
Attack imminent. Request your earliest assistance."
617
00:41:55,187 --> 00:41:58,774
Captain, survivors 500 yards starboard, sir. Proceed with rescue?
618
00:42:06,865 --> 00:42:08,742
Get down to midships, put down a scrambling net
619
00:42:08,825 --> 00:42:11,453
-and get those men out of the water. -[Wallace] Aye, aye, sir.
620
00:42:11,537 --> 00:42:13,664
Stop engines. All slow astern.
621
00:42:14,414 --> 00:42:15,916
Mister Harbutt, you have the conn.
622
00:42:15,999 --> 00:42:18,710
Mind the debris and hail me the moment Wallace has them aboard.
623
00:42:18,794 --> 00:42:20,128
-Aye, aye, sir. -Signals?
624
00:42:20,212 --> 00:42:22,089
-Aye, sir. -"Comescort to Cadena.
625
00:42:26,051 --> 00:42:27,678
Will assist as soon as possible."
626
00:42:28,220 --> 00:42:29,471
Aye, sir.
627
00:42:38,814 --> 00:42:40,566
[man] Give me your hand. Keep climbing.
628
00:42:41,108 --> 00:42:46,196
Krauts call it a Pillenwerfer, sir. It's German for something.
629
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,573
"Pill-thrower."
630
00:42:47,656 --> 00:42:49,741
-Yes, go on. -Uh, I'd never heard of one before,
631
00:42:49,825 --> 00:42:54,037
but I got a buddy who was on the Kidd, and he had one on his first crossing.
632
00:42:54,121 --> 00:42:57,082
It's a mechanical decoy about the size of an icebox,
633
00:42:57,165 --> 00:42:59,209
and it shoots out gas like an Alka-Seltzer.
634
00:42:59,293 --> 00:43:00,919
The krauts just drop it in the water,
635
00:43:01,003 --> 00:43:03,338
and it hangs there while we waste depth charges on it.
636
00:43:04,006 --> 00:43:05,674
Detail it in your after-action report.
637
00:43:05,757 --> 00:43:08,135
Make sure all the other operators are familiar with it.
638
00:43:08,218 --> 00:43:10,095
I-- I should've caught it sooner, sir.
639
00:43:11,555 --> 00:43:13,265
No, you did good work. Thank you.
640
00:43:13,348 --> 00:43:14,558
Sir. Aye, sir.
641
00:43:14,641 --> 00:43:16,476
[Charlie] You couldn't have known, Ernie.
642
00:43:20,355 --> 00:43:22,024
[Harbutt] Got 'em, sir. Four men.
643
00:43:22,107 --> 00:43:23,901
-Only four? -All they could see or hear, sir.
644
00:43:23,984 --> 00:43:26,653
Okay. Head to rear of convoy. Right hard rudder, hard over.
645
00:43:26,737 --> 00:43:27,779
All ahead two-thirds.
646
00:43:27,863 --> 00:43:30,073
[helmsman] Right hard rudder, hard over. Aye, aye, sir.
647
00:43:32,075 --> 00:43:35,120
[lookout] Rocket! Distress rocket astern! Rear of convoy!
648
00:43:37,748 --> 00:43:40,209
All ahead flank. Meet her when we're headed down the lane.
649
00:43:40,292 --> 00:43:42,085
[helmsman] All ahead flank. Aye, aye, sir.
650
00:43:51,428 --> 00:43:54,348
[Harbutt] That's the Southland, sir. It's an American supply ship.
651
00:44:16,995 --> 00:44:18,455
Greyhound, Harry here.
652
00:44:18,539 --> 00:44:23,085
To confirm, targets remain at speed just outside our perimeter.
653
00:44:23,752 --> 00:44:26,255
[Harbutt] Southland rescue completed. Twenty-eight men rescued, sir.
654
00:44:26,755 --> 00:44:28,632
[man] Radar is back up, Captain.
655
00:44:28,715 --> 00:44:30,384
Left full rudder to 087.
656
00:44:30,467 --> 00:44:32,845
Take us up the right side of the convoy. All ahead standard.
657
00:44:32,928 --> 00:44:34,638
[helmsman] All ahead standard. Aye, aye, sir.
658
00:44:34,721 --> 00:44:36,682
Engine room answers all ahead standard, sir.
659
00:44:37,808 --> 00:44:40,185
[radio: static]
660
00:44:40,269 --> 00:44:43,897
Greyhound. Greyhound, Greyhound.
661
00:44:43,981 --> 00:44:45,566
This is Gray Wolf.
662
00:44:46,483 --> 00:44:52,364
We hunt you and your friends Eagle, Dicky and Harry.
663
00:44:53,657 --> 00:44:56,910
We watch your ships sinking into the deep.
664
00:44:57,661 --> 00:45:02,124
We hear the screams of your comrades as they die.
665
00:45:03,417 --> 00:45:07,588
How many of them will there be before you join them?
666
00:45:09,339 --> 00:45:13,760
The Gray Wolf is so very hungry.
667
00:45:15,304 --> 00:45:17,848
-Your women will learn of your dying... -Greyhound to all escorts.
668
00:45:17,931 --> 00:45:21,143
-...and weep into the long night before... -Switch TBS traffic to channel Zebra.
669
00:45:21,226 --> 00:45:24,396
-...they turn to the arms of their lovers. -Execute.
670
00:45:25,189 --> 00:45:29,568
[howling]
671
00:45:29,651 --> 00:45:30,652
[howling stops]
672
00:45:44,666 --> 00:45:45,959
Eagle here. Pips on the move.
673
00:45:46,043 --> 00:45:48,879
One bearing 080, range 11 miles and closing.
674
00:45:48,962 --> 00:45:51,173
The other at 085, nine miles.
675
00:45:51,256 --> 00:45:52,382
[Charlie] ...that signal.
676
00:45:52,466 --> 00:45:54,009
Greyhound, Dicky. Greyhound, Dicky.
677
00:45:54,092 --> 00:45:56,386
-Greyhound. -Our contact is now bearing 113.
678
00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:59,139
The other bears 101, range two miles and approaching.
679
00:45:59,223 --> 00:46:01,183
Greyhound, Harry. Our two pips are separated.
680
00:46:01,266 --> 00:46:04,228
Bearing 084 and 095. Both 8.5 miles.
681
00:46:04,311 --> 00:46:06,104
Looks as if they're coming in for a scrum.
682
00:46:06,188 --> 00:46:08,398
Noted, thank you. Greyhound out.
683
00:46:08,982 --> 00:46:10,984
Charlie, did you get the sighting reports?
684
00:46:11,068 --> 00:46:12,986

688
00:46:33,841 --> 00:46:35,509
Are you engaging the target?

00:47:00,993 --> 00:47:03,745

00:48:27,204 --> 00:48:30,374
Keep apprised of Eagle's target bearing and notify me when we're two miles out.
705
00:48:30,457 --> 00:48:31,458
Aye, aye, sir.
706
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,258
Sir, it's about the consumption of depth charges.
707
00:48:39,341 --> 00:48:42,135
-Yes? -Last pattern makes 32 cans fired.
708
00:48:44,930 --> 00:48:46,807

None, sir.
710
00:48:49,184 --> 00:48:50,519
We're down to six charges.
711
00:48:53,021 --> 00:48:56,692
We pulled everything from below last watch, if you recall, sir.

00:48:59,069 --> 00:49:01,655
Yes, yes, of course. Thank you, Mister Flipper.
713

It's Fippler, sir.
714
00:49:05,450 --> 00:49:09,162
Mister Fippler, we must leave off the firing of full patterns.
715
00:49:09,621 --> 00:49:10,998
What I was gonna suggest, sir.
716
00:49:19,089 --> 00:49:23,177
"Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove."

[radio: buzz]
718
00:49:28,140 --> 00:49:31,310
-Captain. -I know it's risky, Charlie, but
719
00:49:31,393 --> 00:49:32,728
we need to break protocol.
720
00:49:32,811 --> 00:49:36,523
How soon can we reach air cover? No more zigzags, no evasive maneuvers.
721
00:49:36,607 --> 00:49:37,608
Aye, aye, sir.

We can be in range of air cover in 24 hours.
725
00:49:55,792 --> 00:49:58,170
That's 0800 if we shift to a direct course, sir.
726
00:49:58,253 --> 00:49:59,087
Thanks, Charlie.
727
00:50:06,845 --> 00:50:08,138
[Charlie] What happened to him?
728
00:50:08,847 --> 00:50:11,016
Took a header. Gave me something more to do.
729
00:50:13,852 --> 00:50:15,938
-That for the captain? -Yeah.

Greyhound, Dicky. I'm launching depth charges now.
766
00:52:07,174 --> 00:52:10,219
[Ernie] Understood, Dicky. I am crossing your bow for my own attack.

00:52:11,762 --> 00:52:13,430
[radar: garbled beeps]
768
00:52:13,514 --> 00:52:15,224

-[glass shatters] -[man] Take cover!

Son of a bitch ricocheted off the surface.
792
00:54:07,127 --> 00:54:08,420
[Ernie] Man your posts.

Dicky, Greyhound. What is your damage?
809
00:55:27,082 --> 00:55:30,002
Greyhound, our guns couldn't depress far enough to do any damage.
810
00:55:30,085 --> 00:55:33,130
But, at 20 yards, the shells went right through us without detonating.
811
00:55:33,213 --> 00:55:34,214
Are you seaworthy?
812
00:55:34,298 --> 00:55:36,091
All three hits were well above the waterline, sir.
813
00:55:36,175 --> 00:55:38,385
We'll have our holes patched, and we'll be back in the hunt.
814
00:55:38,468 --> 00:55:41,597
Very good. Return to your screening station at best speed.

00:56:26,808 --> 00:56:29,561
I can arrange for a service within the next ten minutes, sir.
827
00:56:31,063 --> 00:56:32,564
Of course. All hands.
828
00:56:32,648 --> 00:56:33,774
Aye, aye, Captain.
829
00:56:35,317 --> 00:56:36,318
Bill?
830
00:56:37,486 --> 00:56:38,612

at whose second coming in glorious majesty to judge the world
839
00:57:09,476 --> 00:57:11,353
the sea shall give up her dead,

and corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him
841

00:57:59,067 --> 00:58:01,403
Firing line, half right, face!
854
00:58:02,029 --> 00:58:04,907
Anthony Pisani, gunner's mate, third class.
855
00:58:04,990 --> 00:58:06,950
Ready. Fire!
856
00:58:08,827 --> 00:58:12,539
Daniel Marx, seaman, second. Ready. Fire!
857
00:58:15,125 --> 00:58:19,213
George Cleveland, messmate. Ready. Fire!
858
00:58:26,887 --> 00:58:28,055
[water splashes]
859
00:58:28,805 --> 00:58:30,390
[officer] Ready. Two!
860
00:58:40,776 --> 00:58:43,028
[lookout] Distress rocket at rear of convoy!
861
00:58:44,446 --> 00:58:46,448
-Left standard rudder. -Left standard rudder. Aye, sir.
862
00:58:46,532 --> 00:58:49,368
Harry, Dicky. Greyhound. Eagle has been hit.
863
00:58:49,451 --> 00:58:54,414
I am going to his aid, rear of the convoy. Maintain your sweep. Go easy on your fuel.
864
00:58:54,498 --> 00:58:56,333
-[Dicky] Aye, sir. -[Harry] Aye, aye, sir.
865
00:59:03,298 --> 00:59:05,217
-Messenger, my glasses. -Aye, sir.
866
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:08,011
-Meet her. -[helmsman] Aye, sir. Heading up the lane.
867
00:59:08,095 --> 00:59:11,223
-[Ernie] Right standard rudder. -Right standard rudder. Aye, sir.
868
00:59:16,645 --> 00:59:17,771
-Meet her. -[helmsman] Meet her.
869
00:59:17,855 --> 00:59:20,065
-All ahead flank. -All ahead flank. Aye, sir.
870
00:59:35,789 --> 00:59:37,082
-Messenger. -Sir.
871
00:59:45,174 --> 00:59:46,383
-[Ernie] Mister Harbutt. -Sir.
872
00:59:46,466 --> 00:59:47,551
That's Eagle and Cadena.
873
00:59:47,634 --> 00:59:49,469
Circle them at one mile to cover the rescue.
874
00:59:49,553 --> 00:59:53,432
-Helm, left standard rudder. Come to 225. -Left standard rudder...
875
00:59:53,515 --> 00:59:56,059
Eagle, Greyhound. What is your status?
876
00:59:56,852 --> 00:59:59,521
We were hit forward of the engine room and have a fire below deck.
877
00:59:59,605 --> 01:00:00,814
Some casualties.
878
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,359
The Kong Gustav was hit first, sank in three minutes.
879
01:00:04,443 --> 01:00:05,694
We saw no survivors.
880
01:00:06,528 --> 01:00:07,821
It's a bad afternoon, sir.
881
01:00:09,072 --> 01:00:10,157
How seaworthy are you?
882
01:00:11,450 --> 01:00:13,952
We have a five-degree list at starboard, and we're down at the stern,
883
01:00:14,036 --> 01:00:16,079
but we'll tow all right up to five knots.
884
01:00:16,163 --> 01:00:18,916
We have a flap of plate sticking up, scooping in the sea.
885
01:00:18,999 --> 01:00:21,168
The list gets worse if we make any speed.
886
01:00:22,419 --> 01:00:23,962
We must keep you afloat, Eagle.
887
01:00:24,713 --> 01:00:26,465
We'll do all the sea allows, sir.
888
01:00:27,007 --> 01:00:29,676
Very well. Greyhound out.
889
01:00:57,246 --> 01:00:58,997
[Carling] I'm ready to relieve you, sir.
890
01:00:59,081 --> 01:01:01,375
[Harbutt] Very well. We're steady on course 225.
891
01:01:01,458 --> 01:01:04,002
And we're at standard speed with fuel conservation.
892
01:01:04,086 --> 01:01:05,587
[Carling] I relieve you, sir.
893
01:01:08,465 --> 01:01:09,466
[Harbutt] Sir?
894
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:13,220
Sir, I stand relieved. Mister Carling has the deck and the conn.
895
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:14,763
Very well.
896
01:01:15,347 --> 01:01:18,851
Mister Carling, Cadena has Eagle under tow at four knots.
897
01:01:18,934 --> 01:01:21,979
Continue circling. We'll hold the screen at rear of convoy.
898
01:01:22,729 --> 01:01:24,940
Sonar, standard sweep to starboard.
899
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,776
Sonar, Bridge. Search to starboard, standard pattern.
900
01:01:41,456 --> 01:01:44,001
Greyhound, Eagle. Greyhound, Eagle.
901
01:01:49,047 --> 01:01:50,132
Greyhound.
902
01:01:50,215 --> 01:01:52,384
Request permission to abandon ship, sir.
903
01:01:53,051 --> 01:01:55,095
The collision mats were not big enough.
904
01:01:55,179 --> 01:01:58,473
We have a 15-degree list now, and the main deck is underwater.
905
01:01:59,099 --> 01:02:02,186
Well, I'm sure you've done all you could. Permission granted.
906
01:02:02,769 --> 01:02:06,190
She's been a good home, sir. It's been an honor sailing with you.
907
01:02:06,273 --> 01:02:08,442
We'll be praying for you. Godspeed, Captain.
908
01:02:08,525 --> 01:02:10,694
Thank you for a job well done.
909
01:02:32,508 --> 01:02:33,592
Thank you, Cleveland.
910
01:02:34,551 --> 01:02:35,636
I'm Pitts, sir.
911
01:02:36,637 --> 01:02:38,597
-Thank you. -Sir.
912
01:02:52,819 --> 01:02:54,196
I need Mister Cole.
913
01:02:57,658 --> 01:03:00,369
[man] XO requested, bridge. XO requested, bridge.
914
01:03:04,540 --> 01:03:05,874
You wanted to see me, skip?
915
01:03:16,677 --> 01:03:18,095
[Ernie] I've lost Eagle.
916
01:03:18,178 --> 01:03:22,641
Harry and Dicky are low on depth charges and fuel, as are we.
917
01:03:22,724 --> 01:03:25,769
I can offer only scant protection to the convoy.
918
01:03:26,728 --> 01:03:28,355
We need air cover, Charlie.
919
01:03:30,232 --> 01:03:31,233
Do--
920
01:03:37,489 --> 01:03:41,159
Do I break radio silence with a message to the Admiralty?
921
01:03:41,243 --> 01:03:44,454
Or does that let the wolf pack know just how vulnerable we are?
922
01:03:44,538 --> 01:03:45,914
What would the message be?
923
01:03:48,250 --> 01:03:49,334
"Help needed urgently."
924
01:03:50,168 --> 01:03:52,170
No. "Help needed." That means "urgently."
925
01:03:52,838 --> 01:03:55,048
"Needed" isn't needed. Just "help."
926
01:03:55,132 --> 01:03:58,177
That's all the Admiralty needs to hear for a modified rendezvous point.
927
01:03:58,260 --> 01:04:00,429
The Germans might miss a message as short as that.
928
01:04:01,096 --> 01:04:04,683
I wouldn't need to take this risk if I'd been smarter yesterday.
929
01:04:05,350 --> 01:04:07,728
What you did yesterday got us to today.
930
01:04:07,811 --> 01:04:11,607
It's not enough, Charlie. Not nearly enough.
931
01:04:25,162 --> 01:04:26,580
Message from the Admiralty, sir.
932
01:04:27,372 --> 01:04:30,125
Some of it's badly scrambled, sir. I've done my best with it.
933
01:04:32,252 --> 01:04:33,879
-XO to the bridge. -Aye, aye, sir.
934
01:04:35,672 --> 01:04:36,715
What are these scrambles?
935
01:04:36,798 --> 01:04:39,843
I think coded numerals, sir. But I'm sure of that.
936
01:04:40,844 --> 01:04:42,513
"Expect aircraft.
937
01:04:42,596 --> 01:04:45,182
His challenge, 'Uncle William.' Your answer, 'Baker Dog.'"
938
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:47,601
[Charlie] Captain?
939
01:04:47,684 --> 01:04:49,811
Charlie. Message from Admiralty.
940
01:04:49,895 --> 01:04:51,605
Reinforcements dispatched.
941
01:04:53,190 --> 01:04:54,733
But it's only partially deciphered.
942
01:04:54,816 --> 01:04:56,276
Put together a team, see what else is there.
943
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:57,361
Aye, aye, sir.
944
01:05:15,921 --> 01:05:17,589
[radio: static]
945
01:05:17,673 --> 01:05:19,132
[Gray Wolf, on radio] Greyhound!
946
01:05:20,717 --> 01:05:23,720
Your flock is not safe from this wolf.
947
01:05:24,972 --> 01:05:28,267
We can always find you in the night to kill you.
948
01:05:28,350 --> 01:05:29,351
Escorts, Greyhound.
949
01:05:29,434 --> 01:05:31,937
-Or will Dicky die next? Or Harry? -Divert all further TBS traffic
950
01:05:32,020 --> 01:05:33,480
to channel Hotel. Execute.
951
01:05:33,564 --> 01:05:35,315
[Gray Wolf howls]
952
01:05:35,399 --> 01:05:37,734
Thought these were numerals, but it was "Point X-ray."
953
01:05:37,818 --> 01:05:39,945
"Modify rendezvous point to Point X-ray."
954
01:05:40,028 --> 01:05:42,614
-Mm-hmm. How soon? -Something like four hours, skip.
955
01:05:44,074 --> 01:05:45,075
Sir.
956
01:06:19,818 --> 01:06:21,361
-[Ernie] Messenger. -Yes, sir.
957
01:06:21,445 --> 01:06:25,282
Go to my cabin and bring me my slippers.
958
01:06:25,365 --> 01:06:26,366
Aye, sir.
959
01:06:30,329 --> 01:06:31,872
[grunts]
960
01:06:45,677 --> 01:06:47,763
Ah, thank you. Return those.
961
01:06:49,806 --> 01:06:51,266
[grunts]
962
01:06:58,607 --> 01:06:59,608
Ah.
963
01:07:00,776 --> 01:07:01,902
[exhales]
964
01:07:02,694 --> 01:07:04,696
[radarman] I've got two contacts bearing 099...
965
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:07,407
[talker] Combat reports two pips, starboard bow. Bearing 099.
966
01:07:07,491 --> 01:07:08,867
The other at 168, sir.
967
01:07:08,951 --> 01:07:11,328
-Boatswain, take us to white. -Aye, aye, sir.
968
01:07:13,455 --> 01:07:14,790
Charlie, these pips.
969
01:07:15,332 --> 01:07:18,001
Yes, sir, we got two skunks showing on surface radar.
970
01:07:18,085 --> 01:07:19,545
They're heading straight for us.
971
01:07:19,628 --> 01:07:22,506
Just two hours to the rendezvous point, Ernie, God willin'.
972
01:07:25,551 --> 01:07:30,764
All escorts, Greyhound. I have two surface targets off to starboard.
973
01:07:30,848 --> 01:07:32,516
Maintain your screens.
974
01:07:33,684 --> 01:07:35,936
Mister Watson, bring us up to general quarters.
975
01:07:36,019 --> 01:07:38,438
-[Watson] General quarters. -[man] Aye, aye, sir.
976
01:07:38,522 --> 01:07:41,191
General quarters, general quarters. All hands, man your battle stations.
977
01:07:41,275 --> 01:07:43,902
[Ernie] Harry, Dicky. Greyhound. I am engaging targets.
978
01:07:43,986 --> 01:07:46,446
[Dicky] Request permission to come down there and bounce 'em with you, sir.
979
01:07:46,530 --> 01:07:48,866
-Negative, Dicky. Maintain your screen. -Aye, sir.
980
01:07:50,325 --> 01:07:52,035
-Messenger. -Sir.
981
01:07:54,037 --> 01:07:55,372
I'd like more coffee, please.
982
01:07:56,206 --> 01:07:57,291
Aye, sir.
983
01:08:04,506 --> 01:08:06,592
[garbled radio transmission]
984
01:08:06,675 --> 01:08:07,843
[Gray Wolf] Greyhound.
985
01:08:08,552 --> 01:08:10,554
Guten Morgen, Greyhound.
986
01:08:11,722 --> 01:08:15,434
Did you think you had slipped away from this Gray Wolf?
987
01:08:15,517 --> 01:08:19,770
No, you did not. You will not.
988
01:08:20,689 --> 01:08:24,775
The sea favors the Gray Wolf on the hunt,
989
01:08:24,859 --> 01:08:27,404
not the hound on the run.
990
01:08:27,988 --> 01:08:31,824
You and your comrades will die today.
991
01:08:32,409 --> 01:08:33,409
[Charlie] Conn, Combat.
992
01:08:33,493 --> 01:08:35,913
-Radar showing contact at 110. -[lookout] Periscope to starboard bow.
993
01:08:35,996 --> 01:08:38,790
Range is 2,100 yards and closing, sir.
994
01:08:38,873 --> 01:08:40,125
[lookout] About one mile!
995
01:08:40,876 --> 01:08:42,293
-There, sir! -[Lopez] Fire!
996
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:48,467
The wake, sir! There!
997
01:08:54,348 --> 01:08:55,431
Contact 187...
998
01:08:55,516 --> 01:08:58,976
Sonar reports torpedoes, starboard beam, bearing 187. Range 1,500, sir.
999
01:09:00,687 --> 01:09:02,689
-Left full rudder. -[Watson] Left full rudder.
1000
01:09:14,743 --> 01:09:18,580
Second torpedo to starboard beam! Bearing 120! Range 1,000!
1001
01:09:18,663 --> 01:09:21,333
-Right hard rudder, hard over! -Right hard rudder, hard over!
1002
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,885
Belay that, belay that! Meet her. Meet her!
1003
01:09:31,969 --> 01:09:33,220
Belay. Meet her. Meet her.
1004
01:09:33,303 --> 01:09:34,888
[helmsman] Aye, sir. Holding course.
1005
01:09:52,739 --> 01:09:54,449
[Ernie] Right hard rudder, hard over!
1006
01:09:54,533 --> 01:09:56,952
Starboard slow astern! Port ahead full!
1007
01:09:57,035 --> 01:09:59,037
[Watson] Starboard slow astern! Port ahead full!
1008
01:10:14,970 --> 01:10:16,763
[Ernie] All hands, brace for collision!
1009
01:10:32,988 --> 01:10:35,407
Meet her! Steer straight for that pip at 119!
1010
01:10:35,490 --> 01:10:36,909
-119. Aye, aye, sir. -All ahead full.
1011
01:10:36,992 --> 01:10:39,870
-All ahead full. Aye, aye, sir. -We'll ram that U-boat if we have to!
1012
01:10:40,454 --> 01:10:42,873
[cannons firing]
1013
01:10:59,431 --> 01:11:01,099
[lookout] Torpedo off starboard bow!
1014
01:11:01,183 --> 01:11:03,685
-Bring us full left to 100. -Aye, aye, sir.
1015
01:11:22,871 --> 01:11:24,998
Conning tower, dead ahead!
1016
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,211
[Watson] We must have hit her!
1017
01:11:30,546 --> 01:11:34,383
Charlie! Lay a course to open the arcs of fire aft! We'll hit 'em broadside!
1018
01:11:34,466 --> 01:11:37,803
Left full rudder, slow to two-thirds. After batteries, fire as you bear.
1019
01:11:43,225 --> 01:11:44,768
All mounts, local control!
1020
01:11:44,852 --> 01:11:47,145
-Target will be fine on our starboard bow! -[repeating command]
1021
01:11:47,229 --> 01:11:48,647
Fire as they bear!
1022
01:11:48,730 --> 01:11:51,733
[Lopez] Weapons, Bridge. All mounts, local control. Fire as they bear.

1038
01:13:43,262 --> 01:13:44,263
Very well.
1039
01:13:45,722 --> 01:13:46,807
Messenger.
1040
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,227
-Yes, sir. -Write this.
1041
01:13:51,019 --> 01:13:53,480

01:14:02,781 --> 01:14:03,782
-Send it. -Aye, sir.
1045
01:14:07,995 --> 01:14:09,663
[helmsman] My heading is 290, sir.

-Message, sir. -Read it out.
1051
01:14:41,737 --> 01:14:43,739
"Admiralty to Greyhound. Welcome.
1052
01:14:43,822 --> 01:14:46,450
Kindly make verbal report to Diamond on TBS."
1053
01:14:53,498 --> 01:14:56,293
Diamond, Greyhound. Diamond, Greyhound. Do you hear me?
1054
01:14:56,877 --> 01:15:00,464
Loud and clear, Greyhound. We hear you had a bit of a rough go of it.
1055
01:15:01,340 --> 01:15:03,717
Yes, sir. In the last 48 hours,
1056
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:08,263
we've lost seven ships from the convoy. Two others were damaged.
1057
01:15:08,722 --> 01:15:11,350
And the condition of your command? How are you holding up?
1058
01:15:11,433 --> 01:15:14,728
I took a round from a sub on our portside deck. Three were killed.
1059
01:15:14,811 --> 01:15:16,104
But you are seaworthy?
1060
01:15:16,188 --> 01:15:20,108
Yes, sir. Dicky and I fought him out on the surface, and we got him.
1061
01:15:20,192 --> 01:15:22,569
Uh, my escort group sank three others.
1062
01:15:22,653 --> 01:15:25,864
Four U-boats? [laughs] Bloody good job, Greyhound.
1063
01:15:27,616 --> 01:15:31,036
We will be relieving you now and taking the convoy on to Liverpool.
1064
01:15:31,119 --> 01:15:32,454
You take Dicky and Harry
1065
01:15:32,538 --> 01:15:34,831
and make best speed to the naval yard in Londonderry.
1066
01:15:36,667 --> 01:15:41,839
Sir, I request I stay with the convoy. I have 56 hours fuel at economical speed.
1067
01:15:42,506 --> 01:15:45,843
No, that's an order, Commander. We'll see the convoy on from here.
1068
01:15:45,926 --> 01:15:47,845
I need you to take Dicky and Harry back home.
1069
01:15:47,928 --> 01:15:51,056
They're not fit to stay in the game, understood? Off to Derry with you.
1070
01:15:51,139 --> 01:15:52,140
Aye, aye, sir.
1071
01:15:52,808 --> 01:15:55,477
Tell me, Greyhound, just curious,
1072
01:15:55,561 --> 01:15:57,688
how many crossings does that make for you now?
1073
01:15:58,689 --> 01:16:00,274
This was my first, sir.
1074
01:16:00,357 --> 01:16:02,442
[chuckles] Unbelievable.
1075
01:16:02,526 --> 01:16:05,696
Well, let's hope next time's a bit easier, eh? Admirable show, Commander.
1076
01:16:05,779 --> 01:16:06,905
Thank you, sir.
1077
01:16:21,795 --> 01:16:23,463
Dicky, Harry. Greyhound.
1078
01:16:23,547 --> 01:16:25,048
-Dicky here. -Harry here.
1079
01:16:25,132 --> 01:16:26,967
You are relieved of your screening duties.
1080
01:16:27,050 --> 01:16:30,012
Form starboard echelon on me at the head of the convoy.
1081
01:16:30,095 --> 01:16:33,515
We will depart on 087 for Londonderry.
1082
01:16:33,599 --> 01:16:35,017
[Dicky] Aye, aye, sir.
1083
01:16:35,100 --> 01:16:36,143

1084

[pencil cracks]
1085
01:16:58,290 --> 01:16:59,458
Messenger.
1086
01:17:00,375 --> 01:17:02,169

1087
01:17:04,755 --> 01:17:07,549
-Signal Bridge. Send it. -Signal Bridge. Aye, sir.
1088
01:17:07,633 --> 01:17:10,302
Commodore is signaling five minutes to course change, Captain.
1089
01:17:10,385 --> 01:17:12,554
Very well. Take us up the lane.
1090
01:17:12,638 --> 01:17:14,973
When we clear the lead ships, turn right to 087.
1091
01:17:15,057 --> 01:17:17,100
-Dodge, James, starboard echelon. -Aye, aye, sir.
1092
01:17:17,184 --> 01:17:19,353
Steady on 087. Starboard echelon.
1093
01:17:19,436 --> 01:17:22,064
-Helm, mark your head. -[helmsman] Mark 083, sir.
1094
01:17:22,147 --> 01:17:23,690
[Carling] Very well. Keep her so.
1095
01:17:23,774 --> 01:17:25,484
[helmsman] Steady as I go. Aye, sir.
1096
01:17:43,585 --> 01:17:45,587
Mister Carling, she's all yours.
1097
01:17:47,589 --> 01:17:49,216
I will be in my cabin if you need me.
1098
01:17:50,384 --> 01:17:51,385
Aye, aye, sir.
1099
01:18:10,404 --> 01:18:12,573
[distant cheering]
1100
01:18:19,913 --> 01:18:22,332

1101
01:18:40,058 --> 01:18:42,186

1102
01:19:10,672 --> 01:19:13,425
[cheering, shouting]
1103
01:20:32,337 --> 01:20:34,715
"I thank you, my heavenly Father,
1104
01:20:34,798 --> 01:20:36,675
that you have graciously kept me this day.
1105
01:20:36,758 --> 01:20:40,345
Into your hands I commend myself, my body and soul. Amen."
