Memorable quotes for
In Harm's Way (1965)


Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: How do admirals feel about nurses?

Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: The same way captains did.




Admiral Kimmel: It is my duty to inform you that you have been relieved of your command, pending the findings of a court of inquiry.

Captain Torrey: I don't understand, sir.

Admiral Kimmel: You weren't zig-zagging when you took the two torpedoes.

Captain Torrey: I was stretching my fuel, sir.

Admiral Kimmel: If you didn't have fuel to complete your mission, why didn't you turn back for Pearl?

Captain Torrey: My mission was to intercept and engage an enemy of greatly superior strength, sir. I could only take that one way: that my group was expendable.

Admiral Kimmel: I doubt if a court of inquiry will accept that. Captain, you're about to be caught in a vacuum between a peacetime Navy and a wartime Navy. Six months from now, they'll be making admirals out of captains who exhibit some guts. But right now, they're only reacting to the Pearl Harbor disaster, and punishment is order-of-the-day. Of course, you don't have to abide by what a court of inquiry decides. You can ask for general court-martial, get yourself a couple of crack sea lawyers, and make a fight of it.

Captain Torrey: I wouldn't care to do that, sir.

Admiral Kimmel: Why not?

Captain Torrey: Second-generation Navy, Admiral.

Admiral Kimmel: I see. I don't plan to ask for court-martial either, Captain, and I've lost a fleet. So I expect we'll both just take what they give us, and trust it will be a useful job somewhere.

Captain Torrey: Yes, sir.

Admiral Kimmel: Good luck.

Captain Torrey: Good luck to you, sir.

Motto: In Harm's Way





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Jones

John Paul Jones (July 6, 1747–July 18, 1792) was America's first well-known naval hero in the American Revolutionary War.

John Paul Jones was born John Paul in 1747, on the estate of Arbigland in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright on the southern coast of Scotland. John Paul's father was a gardener at Arbigland, and his mother was a member of Clan MacDuff.

John Paul adopted the alias John Jones when he fled to his brother's home in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1773 to avoid the hangman's noose in Tobago after an incident when he was accused of murdering a sailor under his command. He began using the name John Paul Jones as his brother suggested during the start of the American Revolution.

Though his naval career never rose above the rank of Captain in the Continental Navy after his victory over the Serapis with the frigate Bonhomme Richard, John Paul Jones remains the first genuine American Naval hero, and a highly regarded battle commander. His later service in the Russian Navy as an admiral showed the mark of genius that enabled him to defeat the Serapis.

Jones simply was not as good a politician as he was a naval commander, in an era where politics determined promotion, both in America and abroad. Though he was originally buried in Paris, after spending his last years abroad, he was ultimately reinterred at the United States Naval Academy, a fitting homecoming for the "Father of the American Navy."

During his engagement with Serapis, Jones uttered the legendary reply to a British officer's surrender request, "I have not yet begun to fight!"
