Mr. Tyler, sir,
do you plan on going up against a destroyer with а...
only one fish in the tube and a busted motor?
Yes, I am, Eddie.
- How wise is that, Lieutenant? - Not very.
But have a look. Chief.
There is no way
a two-knot submarine can get in firing position against a 30-knot destroyer
unless we go deep at 160 meters,
we can shoot out a bunch of junk from the forward tubes.
It will resurface and create a debris field.
Now the destroyer's gonna go to the center of that debris field,
shut off its engines to make it real nice and quiet...
and do an acoustic search to make sure we're dead.
But we're not. See, we're here,
on our way up to periscope depth.
All right, principle of ascent velocity.
Our positive buoyancy pulls us up and away from the destroyer.
And when we surface, we'll be showing it our ass at 700 yards.
That is a perfect setup for a stern shot on a stationary target.
Boom. It don't get much prettier than that.
All right, Mr. Tyler.
Very well. Rabbit,
I need you to load Mazzola's body into tube three...
and put an escape jacket onto him to make sure he floats.
Wanna shoot him out like garbage?
His body is gonna save our lives.
I'll say a few words for him.
Hirsch, go with Rabbit. Eddie, can you man both planes?
If you can't take out that destroyer,
the danger is not that some of us may die.
It's that some of us may live.
These men have seen and heard things...
that must not be revealed to the enemy...
our secrets, such as our radar capabilities...
and our understanding of German encryption.
If we fall into German hands alive, we will be tortured without mercy.
Either you succeed in sinking that ship...
or you must see to it that none of us survive to be captured.
