NARRATOR:
From her beginningson a Navy drawing board,
through the months of secret field
experiments out on a western desert,
then through
the desperate search
for new metals with properties she needed,
she was designed to be man's
greatest weapon of the seas,
the atom-powered submarine.
Her engines were to be a
miracle of speed and power,
to withstand any blow,
her armament and firepower
of greater force
than the worst enemy
she might encounter.
The mind of man had
thought of everything,
except that which was
beyond his comprehension.
(HAWAIIAN MUSIC PLAYING)
All right, Griff,
I'll take over.
Good morning, Captain.
Had breakfast?
Yep. Orange juice,
bacon, eggs, coffee.
How we doing?
I can't get used
to this thing.
Just like an automatic elevator.
Speed, 18. Steady on course.
Quite a bit of difference between this
and the old-fashioned iron lung, huh?
Roomy? My gosh, this conning
tower is just like a ballroom.
Take it easy, Griff.
It's still a submarine.
Aye, aye, sir.
How about the men?
They should complain.
All they do is eat and sleep,
press a button when there's
some work to be done.
How about you, Captain? Satisfied?
Down scope.
Why shouldn't I be satisfied?
Three world records in the bag
on our first shakedown cruise.
Listen to that music.
All we need is some
champagne and dancing girls.
Shall I have the chief
change the record, sir?
Yeah, you'd better, before
All right.
MacAninch, something a little
more salty, if you please.
Salty, sir?
Yeah, let's get off
this Hawaiian kick.
It's even demoralizing
the captain.
Aye, aye, sir.
Eight.
Pair of fives.
Pair of tens.
Whoa.
What's going on?
Yeah, what?
Que pasa? I dig that.
(SONAR BEEPING)
There's another beep from
the sonar equipment, sir.
Target bearing, 1-8-0.
Range, 1-5-0-0.
There's nothing back there.
GRIFF:
Sonar still picks it up, Captain.Bearing?
It's dead astern, submerged
about as deep as we are.
Looks like it could be
following us.
Whales sometimes get playful
out here in the Pacific.
Scans bigger than a whale.
PETE:
Another sub?GRIFF:
Even biggerthan a sub.
It's closing in on us, Captain.
You'd better take a look at this.
Conning Tower to Control.
Left 20 degrees rudder.
New course, 3-0-0.
OFFICER:
Left 20 degrees rudder.New course, 3-0-0.
The rudder is 20 degrees left, sir.
What would you call that?
Probably a short circuit in our sonar
system showing up as an echo.
Check it.
I just did, Captain. It's working all right.
Shall I check it again, sir?
Never mind.
It's really gaining on us, whatever it is.
Getting closer, huh?
As close as 500 yards.
Conning Tower to Maneuvering.
All ahead flank.
All ahead flank, sir.
Give me everything you've got.
Aye, aye, sir.
Are we losing it?
No, sir. He just gained
another 200 on us.
Give me a sonar image. I want to
see what this thing looks like.
Griff, man battle stations.
Man battle stations!
(ALARM BLARING)
OFFICER:
Man battle stations!Man battle stations!
Man battle stations!
Man battle stations!
Go to Control and take the conn.
Aye, aye, sir.
Now let's see what you got here.
What do you call that?
It's no whale, sir, that's for sure.
It's no ship, either.
Let me check that wiring again.
Keep me informed.
Come left 3-5-0.
Left 3-5-0.
OFFICER:
Sonar checksokay, Captain.
Bearing, 1-2-0.
Range, 5-0-0.
Can't seem to lose it, Captain.
Range, 4-0-0.
What happens when it
catches up with us?
When you're in command of $55
million worth of submarine,
you don't gamble.
Range, 3-0-0.
Stand by to take her deep.
Aye, aye, sir.
Range, 2-0-0.
Take her deep.
Full dive on the bow plane, please.
Full dive on the bow plane, sir.
10 degrees down bubble..
10 degrees down bubble.
All planes are at full
dive, sir. Very well.
Resume course.
Steer 3-3-0.
3-3-0, sir.
OFFICER:
It's too closeto get a range now, sir.
Conning Tower to Maneuvering. All stop.
We're getting a radiation warning
signal. Where's it coming from?
GRIFF:
Not from our reactor, sir.It must be. Recheck your reactor.
Reactor shield okay. Engines
okay. Nothing hot in here, sir.
What happened to us?
I don't know.
All you men okay?
Okay, but let's find out
where that radiation is
coming from before we all fry.
It's coming from outside the ship. Look!
I don't figure it.
I can't either, sir.
Haven't got time to try now.
Our sonar system's out. Fix it.
Maneuvering.
Let's pull out of here!
All ahead full!
All ahead full, sir!
But we're standing still!
That's not
the engine's fault, sir.
Keep pouring it on.
You okay, Griff?
Okay here, sir.
Surface!
(ALARM BLARING)
CREWMAN:
Pull main ballast!Still no luck, Captain.
We're fouled tight.
Hand me that thing.
I want two Aqua-Lung
volunteers to blast the sluice.
Get in your gear and stand by the
escape hatch. Take a demolition charge.
I'll take over.
Aye, aye, Captain.
(CRASHING)
Anybody hurt?
Mac took an awful crack
in the head here, Captain.
Come on, Mac.
How do you feel, Mac?
All right. What's a
fractured skull, anyway?
(GEIGER COUNTER TICKING)
Is that damn thing still going?
Not afraid of a little
radiation, are you, Mac?
you can't have children, sir.
Mac was married just before
we left port, Captain.
Congratulations, Mac.
Thanks, Captain. We're
counting on a family, sir.
We won't hang around down here
any longer than we can help it.
OFFICER:
Volunteersare ready now, sir.
Hand me that thing.
I'm gonna rig in the bow diving plane
to see if that will free us.
If it won't...
Just cross your fingers.
Rig in bow diving planes.
Aye, aye, sir.
That's doing it. Full
rise on the stern planes.
Full rise on the stern planes. Aye!
We're loose, Captain!
Speed's increasing.
We're coming up, sir.
Phew. That's a relief.
Stand by to surface.
Stand by to surface.
Aye, sir.
What's on your mind, Griff?
Stern planes are fouled.
Show signs of radioactivity.
Tell those swimmers
to stay clear?
I did, sir.
What did you find down there?
What kind of stuff?
Rubber-like, Captain.
What'd it look like?
We didn't get too close
because of what the exec
said about the radioactivity.
Looked more
like a fish to me.
It was more like a barrel.
A barrel?
Yes, sir.
till we get into dry dock.
She's jammed solid, sir.
All right, you men go below
and get yourselves some coffee.
Aye, aye, sir.
Aye, sir.
What's your guess, Griff?
I was just gonna ask you, sir.
Privately?
Privately,
and I'm advising you
to do the same.
The next time I cruise
in these waters,
I'm gonna have torpedoes
onboard and warheads on them.
How about officially?
Officially?
Shakedown cruise completed, X- ray.
