Away All Boats Page #9

Synopsis: The story of USS 'Belinda', Attack Transport PA22, launched late 1943 with regular-navy captain Hawks and ex-merchant captain MacDougall as boat commander. Despite personal friction, the two have plenty to deal with as the only experienced officers on board during the "shakedown." Almost laughable incompetence gradually improves, but the crew remains far from perfect when the ship sees action, landing troops on enemy beachheads. And few anticipate the challenges in store at Okinawa...

Good evening, Captain.

I wonder if you would

please lie down...

so I can check you over.

Where is Dr. Flynn?

He'll prescribe for me.

I don't mean to question

your ability, sir,

but Dr. Flynn is my doctor.

Dr. Flynn was killed, sir.

Flynn killed?

Flynn dead?

He was...

Please, Captain.

Sir, I'd...

like to have a look at my ship.

CAPTAIN:
At anchorage?

That's the...

Kerama-retto,

isn't it, Mr. MacDougall?

Yes, Captain.

We're just moving into it.

Kerama-retto...

Okinawa...

Saipan, Guadalcanal.

What's the difference?

If a man has to die in a war,

it doesn't matter where.

MacDougall.

Yes, Captain?

Watch out

for old beachhead Belinda.

She's your command.

I guess he couldn't die

until he knew his ship was safe.

He started saving her

the morning he came aboard.

All of us are better than

we ever thought we could be...

because of what he gave us...

and we'll go home again...

because of him.
