  Commodore Schrepke : Is that so?

  Ben Munceford : Not aboard an American destroyer.

  Commodore Schrepke : (Is) that so surprising in these times?

  Ben Munceford : I guess not, if one can make the switch mentally. But I, uh... I still connect you with... Hitler's navy.

  Commodore Schrepke : Your pardon: Admiral Dönitz's navy, sir.

  Ben Munceford : You have a torpedo evasion plan, haven't you? Well have you or haven't you? Captain! C'mon, you knew there was this chance. Do something! Finlander! Answer me, damn you!
