00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:17,

00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:23,Rendezvous ship Essex sighted.

00:01:23,764 --> 00:01:26,She flies the Navy pennant.

00:01:26,433 --> 00:01:28,Sound the three-gun
recognition salute.

00:01:28,201 --> 00:01:29,Aye, aye, sir.

00:01:31,705 --> 00:01:32,Mr. Farragut.
Yes, sir.

00:01:33,006 --> 00:01:34,This is your end
of the line.

00:01:34,808 --> 00:01:36,l don't know what the
Navy wants you to do,

00:01:36,343 --> 00:01:37,but good luck
in your missión.

00:01:37,844 --> 00:01:39,We'll do the best
we can, sir.

00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,The cargo trunks will go with
you. Surplus rations to follow.

00:01:42,949 --> 00:01:47,Whatever's in store for them, they'll
need a little comfort, poor devils.

00:01:57,864 --> 00:02:01,Like music to me ears,
Captain, singing a little song.

00:02:01,568 --> 00:02:03,''Link, you're going home.' '

00:02:03,703 --> 00:02:07,Three times l heard the tune
now. ''Link, you're going home.' '

00:02:07,607 --> 00:02:10,They finally sent relief. l
thought they'd forgotten us.

00:02:10,877 --> 00:02:12,Not the Navy, sir.

00:02:12,312 --> 00:02:17,They might misplace a ship now and then,
but they never lose one permanent-like.

00:02:18,685 --> 00:02:21,Have all hands report to service
quarters. They'll be boarding us soon.

00:02:21,488 --> 00:02:23,Aye, aye, sir.

00:02:23,390 --> 00:02:26,Can l start the scuttlebutt,
sir, about going home?

00:02:27,227 --> 00:02:29,Yes, Mr. Link,
start the scuttlebutt.

00:02:33,166 --> 00:02:36,NARRATOR/ Latitude 14 degrees
north, 74 degrees west.

00:02:36,403 --> 00:02:38,The middIe of the
Caribbean Sea,

00:02:38,472 --> 00:02:40,and a young navaI officer
named David Farragut

00:02:41,074 --> 00:02:45,who is destined to pIay an important part
in one of the strangest stories ever toId

00:02:45,679 --> 00:02:47,about the United States Navy.

00:02:54,154 --> 00:02:56,OFFlCER: Starboard watch,
inward turn!

00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:59,Why, it's
Midshipman Farragut.

00:03:03,129 --> 00:03:04,Lieutenant David
Farragut reporting, sir,

00:03:04,731 --> 00:03:07,with new orders for the
captain of the Essex.

00:03:07,534 --> 00:03:09,Carry on with your
orders, Mr. Farragut.

00:03:09,536 --> 00:03:12,The Essex is to embark upon
a secret missión so hazardous

00:03:12,305 --> 00:03:14,that the Navy Department
gives the ship's complement

00:03:14,107 --> 00:03:17,the choice of staying aboard or
transferring to the Lexington.

00:03:17,244 --> 00:03:19,We've been in these
waters a year now.

00:03:19,079 --> 00:03:21,l was under the impressión
we were setting sail for home.

00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,lf such members of the
complement are transferred,

00:03:23,450 --> 00:03:26,it's to be within
the next hour.

00:03:26,286 --> 00:03:28,May l ask what this
missión calls for?

00:03:30,123 --> 00:03:31,Here, sir.

00:03:32,092 --> 00:03:34,To be opened eight hours after sail
has been set from the rendezvous.

00:03:34,794 --> 00:03:37,The necessary cargoes
are alongside in the boats.

00:03:37,864 --> 00:03:39,That's all they said?

00:03:39,366 --> 00:03:41,Nothing about rotating the
ship and sending it back?

00:03:41,935 --> 00:03:43,These men need a rest.

00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:46,As an officer, l just
carry out my orders, sir.

00:03:46,606 --> 00:03:48,l learned that
as a midshipman.

00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:52,You had a lot to learn as
a midshipman, Mr. Farragut.

00:03:52,345 --> 00:03:54,You've more to learn now
that you've been commissioned.

00:03:54,915 --> 00:03:57,Pity l can't continue
teaching you.

00:04:04,491 --> 00:04:05,Men,

00:04:07,327 --> 00:04:10,the news l bring you now
will not sit lightly.

00:04:10,564 --> 00:04:12,The Essex is not
going home.

00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,lnstead, we've been ordered on
a secret missión by the Navy,

00:04:16,236 --> 00:04:17,a missión so
filled with risk

00:04:18,071 --> 00:04:21,that future service aboard
this ship is voluntary.

00:04:22,542 --> 00:04:25,All men wishing to
transfer to the Lexington,

00:04:26,446 --> 00:04:28,step forward one pace.

00:04:32,018 --> 00:04:34,You seem to have
lost your command, sir.

00:04:37,457 --> 00:04:39,lt's only fair to
tell you, men,

00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,rumor has it that the Lexington
is not returning to the States

00:04:43,863 --> 00:04:45,but continuing to Africa

00:04:45,999 --> 00:04:49,for extended service
against the slave traders.

00:04:51,638 --> 00:04:52,But, Captain...

00:04:52,739 --> 00:04:54,Something you didn't learn
as a midshipman, Mr. Farragut,

00:04:54,941 --> 00:04:57,a ship can't sail
without a crew.

00:04:58,845 --> 00:05:01,Now go back and tell your
captain we're pulling under way.

00:05:01,214 --> 00:05:05,l'm to remain aboard the Essex
as your executive officer, sir.

00:05:05,285 --> 00:05:08,A ship this size doesn't need
any added commissioned personnel.

00:05:08,154 --> 00:05:11,Orders from the Navy Department
because of the nature of the missión.

00:05:11,324 --> 00:05:14,l trust you will find time to
continue your teaching, sir.

00:05:15,528 --> 00:05:20,Secret missión to who knows where, a
homesick crew with a year's service,

00:05:21,034 --> 00:05:24,and a new square-pants executive
officer from Washington.

00:05:26,573 --> 00:05:27,Very well.

00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:31,Stand by to make sail.

00:05:50,797 --> 00:05:52,Good evening,
Mr. Link.

00:05:54,534 --> 00:05:56,Keep steady your course.
l'll be back shortly.

00:05:56,970 --> 00:05:59,What course? With them
new provisions aboard,

00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:01,we can sail on for a year
from anywhere to nowhere

00:06:01,908 --> 00:06:03,and back again.

00:06:03,076 --> 00:06:04,Just keep your
course, mate.

00:06:04,911 --> 00:06:08,As long as your keel ain't run aground,
you ain't g***t no cause for complaint.

00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,Well, Davey, me lad,
you sure have grown.

00:06:16,022 --> 00:06:18,Lieutenant Farragut,
Mr. Link.

00:06:18,091 --> 00:06:19,Can't you
recognize an officer?

00:06:19,359 --> 00:06:20,Brass buttons
and all.

00:06:20,794 --> 00:06:23,Seems like only yesterday you
was a squirt of a midshipman

00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:24,l was fetching
out of the drink.

00:06:24,831 --> 00:06:26,For which l'll
always be grateful.

00:06:26,866 --> 00:06:28,Well, petty officers
must be getting scarce.

00:06:28,568 --> 00:06:29,l see they've
made you a chief.

00:06:29,903 --> 00:06:32,About the time the Captain
g***t command of this ship.

00:06:32,372 --> 00:06:34,We're all up in the service
these days, Davey-lad.

00:06:35,041 --> 00:06:37,l expected him to be
an admiral by now.

00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:40,He's g***t what it takes, all
right. All guts and no heart.

00:06:41,081 --> 00:06:43,Ain't no sense in keeping
that grudge forever.

00:06:43,516 --> 00:06:47,As an instructor, it was his
job to chew midshipmen off,

00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,and just between us two,
you gave him plenty of cause.

00:06:50,056 --> 00:06:52,When a man's religion is the
book of naval regulations,

00:06:52,492 --> 00:06:54,he's gotta be
sour inside,

00:06:54,194 --> 00:06:56,and our captain's a
very sour man, Mr. Link.

00:06:56,596 --> 00:06:59,You're wrong, Davey.
He lives by the book, sure,

00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:02,but he's never stepped out
of line with the men yet.

00:07:02,769 --> 00:07:05,You know what, Link? l'm
just waiting for the day.

00:07:06,506 --> 00:07:07,What day?

00:07:08,041 --> 00:07:11,When he takes that one big step,
when he makes one move from here.

00:07:12,846 --> 00:07:15,l'll bet a year's pay
that day never comes.

00:07:15,682 --> 00:07:19,Well, now, then maybe l could
offer a suggestion or two,

00:07:19,152 --> 00:07:21,for better officer
relations, mind you.

00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:24,What l mean is, if l knew what
we was up to on this cruise...

00:07:24,891 --> 00:07:27,The orders are sealed. You and
the men will know when we do.

00:07:28,061 --> 00:07:30,Mr. Farragut, l'd like
to see you below, sir.

00:07:30,897 --> 00:07:32,Aye, aye, sir.

00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,One more thing,
Davey-lad.

00:07:36,603 --> 00:07:40,The Lexington, she really wasn't
going to service in Africa?

00:07:41,608 --> 00:07:43,lt's like the Captain
said, Mr. Link.

00:07:49,682 --> 00:07:54,He's commissioned, all right.
He's even lying like an officer.

00:07:58,625 --> 00:08:00,Come in, Mr. Farragut.

00:08:03,997 --> 00:08:05,Sit down, sir.

00:08:05,365 --> 00:08:06,Thank you, sir.

00:08:12,505 --> 00:08:14,Mr. Farragut, you served...
