Romeo 2-6!

Missiles good to go.

Let's light em up Cpt Nagata!

Captain Nagata!

FIRE!

Holy sh*t! Hit sir! Hit!

This is a call for help!

Any warship or any military personnel

please respond. Over.

- Any station..

- This is the USS John Paul Jones.

Identify yourself and your position!

Over.

Hopper! Hopper!

- Sam? Are you okay? Where are you?

- I'm ok.

Listen. They are here at the satellite array at Saddle Ridge.

Do you copy?

They're going to transmit a signal

and establish communication.

You need to destroy the facility.

We have 4 hours.

Hopper!

Can you hear me?

- Babe! You need to get out of there.

- Hopper! Hopper!

- They're gone! They're gone.

- We better get gone too.

I'm thinking an Arleigh Burke class destroyer's

about to rain hell on this mountain top.

You ready to kill another one?

- Tango 1-9!

- Tango 1-9! Loaded.

- Whisky 2-5!

- Whisky 2-5!

- Raikes, can you get a track on the ship?

- Negative.

It's moving all over the place.

I can't get a line on it.

- Sucker's really jumping around.

- Very intelligent.

- What time is sunrise?

- 40 minutes, sir.

Let's take these bastards somewhere

they don't wanna go.

ALl hands to battle stations ready.

I need to know when we round this point

if we're gonna hold it tight.

Right around Diamond Head here.

There's a brutal current there.

It'll take a miracle to keep her off the reef.

- Orly, Is it possible? Can you do it?

- It's not impossible, Sir. I can try.

- But I don't know...

- Can you do it? Yes or no?

Contact is 7 miles out and closing fast.

Yes sir, I can do it.

Captain Nagata,

how good is your aim?

Excellent.

- Alright let's start this turn!

- Aye sir, hard left!

Hard left, sir!

- Sarge how we doing?

- We're on the reef!

Orly, you're way too close! Go left!

Easy.

We're about to kiss these rocks, Orly!

Orly!

- Where did you learn to shoot?

- I'm not sure how to say in English.

Natsu Camp. Summer camp.

- How about now?

- Still too tight!

- I can see fish Orly! Come on man!

- Contact 2 miles out.

- Contact. ETA 21 seconds.

- Summer Camp.

Contact 700 yards out.

Summer camp?

- Champion! When I was 12.

- Are you kidding me?

Here we go.

Holy!

On my mark.

Three.

Two.

One.

Light em up!

Boom!

Woooo!!!

- Status of guns.

- Sir they're bringing up all the rounds from lower decks.

Sir!

Clear the bridge! Clear the bridge!

Sh*t!

Orly! Get up! Let's go!

Go! Go! Go!

Stand up! Come on!

Raikes! Hey, Raikes! Here! Come on!

Here!

Come on! We have to jump!

That's the John Paul Jones!

That's Hopper.

Relax, Sam!

I'm seeing a lot of life boats in the water.

You said the satellite will be in

position in 3 hours?

Yeap, that's correct.

So if they miss it, they have to wait.

- My uplink never misses. It's not gonna miss.

- How are your driving skills?

- What do you mean? My driving skills are horrible.

- Not your driving. Sam!

- How are your driving skills?

- Good.

Let's see if we can't buy the

world another day.

- Who talks like that?

- Just get in the vehicle. Let's go.

I'm not getting in. This is your show now.

I don't have a death wish.

Thank you very much.

Bye everyone.

Stop! Stop!

This is my property.

It doesn't end like this.

What do you want us to do, Hopper?

We have no ship left.

We have one.

We've got a battleship.

Are you crazy. That's a museum.

Not today.

This ship is 70 years old.

It's totally outdated.

The firing systems are all analog.

The engines haven't been started in a decade.

Which would be fine, except they're steam

which I have no idea how to fire up.

and even if i had a users manual

and 6 weeks to go through it all

we still don't have enough crew to fire it up.

I don't know what you're thinking, sir.

- Is everyone alright?

- Yes sir. We're okay.

You men have given so much

to your country,

and no-one has the right to ask any of you.

But I'm asking.

- What do you need son?.

- I need to borrow your boat.

Son!

Sir!

What the hell you gonna do? Stand there and stare at me?

Get your goddamn eye on that spotter!

Eye on spotter, sir!

- Been working on a destroyer haven't you?

- Yes sir!

- Are you ready to play with the big boys?

- Oh yes sir!

- Come on, we need the help.

- Awesome

Best cover your ears.

Purrs like kitten!

Bridge, Tanker Joe. I got 8 boilers hot.

Ready to rock & roll sir!

How we looking on fuel?

Just enough for a maintenance run.

- Ordinance?

- I gathered what we can,

- it's not much.

- Alright. Let's get her to sea. We got work to do!

Roger that.

- All engines ahead flat!

- All engines ahead flat!

All engines ahead flat! Aye sir!

- You good?

- Good sir! Good sir!

Good.

Status at turret 1?

Turret, barrel, armed!

- Status at Turret 2?

- Armed!

- Status at Turret 3?

- Ready to rock & roll!

Port side armed.

- Sir, are we really firing on Oahu?

- Sure looks that way.

Holy sh*t.

Saddle Ridge will be in weapons range in 5 minutes.

Whoa brother. Somebody's gonna kiss the donkey.

Hopper!

- I didn't think that one moved.

- Me neither.

My God! Are you kidding me?

"Art of War"

Fire control, weapons status.

- Aimed at target.

- Train all three turrets to 2-1-0.

- Sir that's the wrong direction.

- I'm well aware of that, Raikes!

- What the hell's he doing?

- Losing his mind all over again.

- Hard left rudder!

- Hard left, aye sir!

- Draw port anchor!

- What?

Drop it now!

We're gonna die!

We are gonna die!

You're gonna die. I'm gonna die.

We're all gonna die.

Just not today.

- Let's drop some lead on those mother...

- FIRE!

Reload! Reload!

- Reset! Secure the hatchet!

- Port side ready!

Release the anchor!

Incoming! Incoming!

- Are you alright?

- They ain't gonna sink this battleship. No way.

HIT IT!

Everything you got!

I want every available plane on

this ship in the air! Now!

- I can't believed that worked!

- Yea, Art of War.

Fight the enemy where they aren't.

After all these years, it finally just clicked.

- That's not what it means.

- Really?

Not even close!

Come on!

Sh*t!

My leg's stuck.

Mick!

- Status, weapons.

- Turret 3 is down!

We got one round of high explosive back at turret 3.

Tell them to have it ready when you get there.

I got this.

Beast, update. I need that round.

You need to bring it to turret 2.

Sir?

Turret 2 is 500 feet away!

This round weighs over 1000 pounds!

How do you expect us to get it there?

Help!

Raikes, get to the gun plot. Finger on the trigger!

Yes sir.

Easy! Easy!

Get outta here!

- We gotta go.

- I can't!

- Calm down! Ok?

- Ok!

I'm gonna friggin save us!

- Armed Turret 1!

- Coordinates!

- 3-3-0!

- Elevation!

There! Go!

Let's go!

- He's armed!

- You better not be up there.

Let's go! Come on!

Hopper!

We only have one round left, right?

Yea.

It's been an honor serving with you captain.

The honor was mine.

- Fire.

- Fire!

Locked on target!

We take great pride in honoring the many
