Take a look
at the scope, sir.
:15:32
The water temperature's
down five degrees
:15:35
and even the barometer's
giving improper readings.
:15:38
It should be down,
and it's way up.
:15:43
- What the hell is that?
- It seems to have a cycle, sir.
:15:46
One run it's there,
the next one is clear.
:15:49
One run it's there, the next one is clear.
I've never seen anything like it.
:15:54
Turn those destroyers around
and head them back to Pearl Harbor.
:15:57
- No need for them to go through this.
- Yes, sir.
