"What did my grandfather lose that summer?" "What did he gain?" "I'm writing this letter wishing to find out." "My grandfather Mike Stewart, took part in the war against your country as a destroyer Captain." "As a Navy man, he boasted a glittering war record." "Right after the war ended, he hung up his uniform... and led a quiet civilian life from then on." "My grandfather never talked about his memories of the war." "I always heard that he never kept any mementos... from his days in the Navy." "But one item he left behind was the sheet music I have enclosed... which he carefully preserved for years." "Mr. Suzuki?" "Yes." "And you must be Ms Izumi Kuramoto..." "Yes." "My grandfather was Takayuki Kuramoto." "This was my grandmother's maiden name." "The Veterans' Association found me through her." "But why would someone in the U.S. Navy back then... have kept this more than 60 years?" "You're the only one I could find... who sailed with my grandfather." "I never dreamed I'd see this music again." "I was the youngest man on that submarine." "Captain Kuramoto was very good to me." "I don't know much about him." "He died before I was born." "But my grandmother..." "I remember sitting on her knee while she sang to me." "That's all, though." "She died when I was about 5." "Is that so?" "So I never heard anything about the war." "I've never had any interest in it." "But there are still wars now." "A student was asking me... when earthquakes and floods kill so many people... why do we kill each other?" "I couldn't answer." "You teach school?" "I start next spring." "So I started wondering." "Japan and America were in a fight to the death, right?" "How did an enemy end up with that music?" "And why did he keep it for 60 years?" "Maybe it's just too difficult for me... to understand." "No." "It's not that difficult." "We were all just doing the best we could." "That's all." "By that summer Japan had nothing left to fight with." "But all of us on the I-77 gave it our best." "I'll never forget those last 2 weeks of the war... and Captain Kuramoto's smiling face." " Take her down!" " Enemy sub!" " Open vents!" " Level trim." "Bow down full!" "All free hands forward!" "Bow down!" "We are in the water now, captain!" "Depth 30 meters." "Depth 30 meters!" "Suzuki!" "Get forward!" "Yes, sir!" "Bridge submerged!" "Flood negative tank!" "Torpedoes, Captain!" "2 of them!" "Heading 90, range 1200." "60 seconds to impact!" "Ready torpedoes!" "Ready torpedoes!" "1100 meters...1050..." "Torpedoes ready!" "Depth 15 meters...16... 17...18... 19...20..." "Torpedoes closing, range 850!" "42 seconds!" "Enemy speed and heading?" "5 knots, heading starboard." "Flank speed." "Left full rudder." "Left full rudder!" "Flank speed." "Full power!" "Running depth 20." "Strike angle 2." "Standing by!" "Fire 1 and 2!" " Firing!" " Firing 2!" "Torpedoes at 400 meters!" "20 seconds!" "Blow main tank!" "Take her up!" "300 meters!" "Here they come!" "5 seconds, 4, 3, 2..." "Torpedoes passed!" "And now... it's our turn." "One hit!" "Open vents." "Level trim." "Dead slow ahead." "Check for damage, report, and return to course." "Quite a shock so early in your first mission, Doctor..." "Not at all." "Torpedo Officer Tamura and Navigating Officer Nakatsu." "This is Suzuki's first mission, too." "He's Captain's Aide, so ask him if you need anything." "I will." "He's showing me the ship." "Carry on." " Suzuki..." " Yes, Sir!" "Play for us sometime." "Aye-aye, sir." "Leave to enter!" "Lt Kuwata!" "Tsubota, ship's doctor." "How do you do." "A kid..." "A shiny new Lieutenant JG?" "Recon informs us... the Americans have assembled... more than 10 tankers at Guam... to send in separate convoys to Okinawa." "So we'll all form 5 layers of defense..." "The other 4 boats are already in position." "We're the last line of defense?" "And as that last line, we had only 14 torpedoes, of which we have used 2." "Leave to enter!" "Well!" "Lt JG Toyama reporting with kaiten attack squad, sir." "We meet again!" "For the third time, sir." "Is that so?" "Let's go for it, then." "I hope you will, sir." "Captain..." "Several low-pressure fronts are moving toward our quadrant." "That complicates things." "The I-81 is in front of us." "Captain Arisawa might take care of them all." "That'd be nice." ""Appointment:" "Captain of the I-81."" "The Americans are coming," "However, since the main navy is destroyed, and all we have left are submarines." "How can we win that way?" "3 years and 8 months of war..." "It started with the military, and it should end with us." "A war like this... should only kill soldiers." "The women and children aren't responsible for it." "The Americans won't show any mercy to an enemy who won't quit." "They'll try to kill us all." "Beethoven's great, isn't he." "This is Chopin." "Shizuko?" "Why are you here?" "You left this when you came by." "Is that really why you're here?" "It's for luck." "Thank you." "I'll be going, then." "Are you leaving already?" "The children are waiting." "If not for the war, she'd still be studying piano... instead of taking in orphans." "That's a Navy brat for you." "She got that from our dad." "She's done that since she was 2." "She's very determined." "Look sharp or she'll have you." "I can't read it." "We're going to surface." "Get the batteries charged." "Get ready to start the diesels." "Charge those batteries up full!" "Yes, Sir." "This fresh air certainly feels good." "You appreciate air now, do you?" "Get as much as you can." "Soon you won't be able to." "why did you choose the Submarine Service, sir?" "For the freedom." "Freedom?" "Once a submarine is at sea... it's free to operate on its own judgment." "Is that Orion?" "At this time of year, it only rises just before dawn." "Midsummer Orion." "It's an omen of good luck." "Good luck..." "I wonder what kind of good luck awaits us..." "Chief Cook!" "Food!" "Let's eat!" "Roger!" "There he is!" "That's hot!" "That's good!" "Captain Arisawa!" "Convoy!" "Torpedoes!" "Open tubes 1 through 4!" "Target 30 degrees to port!" "Range 1,500!" "Making 12 knots!" " Tube 1..." " Screws astern!" "Close tubes!" "Down periscope!" "Down to 80 meters!" "80 meters!" "Rig for depth charges!" "Rig for depth charges!" "A leak!" "Bring some canvas!" "Tighten it down!" "Leaking from the flange!" "Tie it off!" "They'll set the charges for deeper." "Take her up!" "Take her up!" "His charges are set shallower!" "He read us!" "Coming up astern!" "Range 1200!" "Flank speed!" "Flank speed!" "Bow up 10!" "Go up to 20 meters." "We'll show him our flank, get him to drop his depth charges." "Sir?" "Don't worry." "The charges'll blind his sonar after it mixed up... with the effect created by the first charge." "Then we run for it." "Tell me when he's 200 meters away!" "Yes, sir!" "Range 200!" "Both motors back full speed!" "Back full speed!" "Starboard motor full speed ahead!" "Left full rudder!" "Into their sonar blind spot!" " No depth charges, sir!" " What?" "The blind spot is not widening." "Sir!" "Enemy approaching!" "Hang on tight!" "Rig for depth charges!" "Take her down to 100!" "Take her down to 100!" "Captain!" "Message from Escort command, Guam." "Captain... a low-pressure front's moved in." "We're here... and it makes sense that Convoy 1... might deviate south from its course 40 nautical miles... instead of heading straight to Okinawa." "Chief Cook!" "Let's eat!" "Is it that time already?" " Chow time!" " Yes, sir!" "On this boat the skipper marks time with mess calls." "Yes..." "Take 2 of these a day." "Thank you." "Vitamins, sir." "Why?" "I eat." "People are like engines." "Without oil they wear down." "Tonight we feast!" "There you go, Captain." "The first curry of the trip!" "Let's eat!" "Bon appétit." "Great!" "Captain..." "May I?" "I just can't see... the enemy holding his route and pushing through this storm." "Yes, that makes sense." "But... he'll think that, too, and expect us to move south... don't you think?" "Screws!" "Lots of them!" "There he is." "A convoy!" "Port 30 degrees." "Range about 4,000!" "Up periscope!" "Thanks!" "Battle stations!" "Enemy in sight." "2 tankers..." "Undamaged." "They got past the other boats?" "And Captain Arisawa..." "Ready torpedoes." "Open Tubes 1 through 4." "Open Tubes 1 through 4." "Port 15." "Range 3500." "Range 3500." "Target speed 12 knots." "Target speed 12 knots." "Run depth 6." "Run depth 6." "Strike angle 2." "Strike angle 2." "Fire 1 through 4 in volley." "Standing by!" "Fire!" "Second volley." "Fire Tubes 1 through 4." "Firing 1!" "Firing 2!" "Firing 3!" "Firing 4!" "5, 4, 3, 2..." "Right!" "2 tankers severely damaged." "Lead tanker is sinking." "8 torpedoes, 2 ships?" "1 kaiten each would have been enough." "Put yourself in our place." "Sit here and never attack." "It'd be a waste." "A real waste." "Destroyer astern!" "Take her down to 50!" "Take her down to 50!" "The destroyer's changed course toward the convoy." "Picking up survivors?" "Get them aboard, on the double!" "Sub surfacing!" "Off the starboard bow!" "What?" "Secure rescue detail." "Standby to get underway." "Bring all guns to bear!" "Belay that." "Get those guys out of the water first." "If he fires torpedoes, there's no chance we can avoid them." "He's not after us, it's the tankers." "If he wanted to, he'd have fired already." "Those have got to be KAITEN." "I can't imagine putting a human being inside a torpedo." "Sir, this is dangerous!" "They can shoot at us." "It's all right." "They know we're not going to attack them." "They won't shoot." "Clear the bridge!" "Clear the bridge!" "I-77." "She's sunk 11 of our ships this year." "As of today, 13." "Scheduled message from Command." "The second convoy has left Guam." "And no contact from the other submarines." "Hey, Suzuki..." "Sir?" "Here." "Can you play it?" "Yes, sir." "Doctor..." "I think this is the name of the song." "This is..." "Italian." ""Midsummer Orion"" "The lucky omen." "There's a note..." "O Orion..." "Guide the one I love... so he may not lose his way home." "You play well." "Not really." "My father teaches music." "I'd like to, too." "I wanted to go into music." "I wanted to be a conductor." "Just kidding." "Sir!" "Urgent!" "From Submarine Command." "Reconnaissance has confirmed the second enemy convoy." "The last message from I-81 came in 45 hours ago." ""11 August, 1400 hours." "22 degrees north, 132 east."" ""350 miles southeast of Okinawa." "Convoy sighted."" "The one we stopped yesterday." "So I-81 found it, too..." "Navigator..." "How far are we from there?" "About 80 miles." "Not far." "But to take Convoy 2 on the flank... we need to wait at 24 degrees north latitude." "Then let's go this way and meet them head-on." "Convoy 2 will pass over the last I-81 contact point." "Right full rudder!" "All ahead full." "Right full rudder!" "All ahead full." "We'll run on the surface." "Watch for aircraft." "Yes, sir." "The last I-81 message came from around here." "Yes." "Captain..." "That convoy is moving closer to Okinawa." "We should hurry and approach its course from the northwest." "Captain!" "Quiet!" "Metal...intermittent." " Metal?" " How deep?" "110 meters." "That's pretty deep." " Morse." " Morse?" "Go down to 80." "It is Morse code." "It's Arisawa." "Down to 100." "Captain!" "That's our safety limit." "Go down." ""I..."" ""8..."" ""1."" ""A..."" ""ri..."" ""sa..."" ""wa."" ""Can hear..."" ""your boat."" "'Not..." ""able..."" ""to restart..."" ""motors."" ""Little..."" ""oxygen..." "left."" "He's repeating." "The enemy can pick that up." "He'll give our position away." "Captain!" ""Close exhaust valve."" ""Try restart."" ""Use remaining air..."" ""full out..."" ""to blow ballast."" "Get out of here." "When I was a kid," "I wanted to be an artist." "You can't draw." "You do it, then." "I will." "Okay, good." "I envy you." "If guys like you survive, the country won't fall apart." "Whatever else happens." "Tomatoes are a rare treat." "Line up here." "1, 2, 3, 4..." "That's right!" "Promise me... you won't die first." " What?" " I mean it." "Promise me." "Okay." "I won't." "You mean it?" "I mean it." "Lighten up!" "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." "That's right!" ""By the way..."" "Screws!" "Approaching!" "Man your stations!" "Look after... my sister." "Captain!" "We'll get sunk!" "Captain!" "Chief Engineer!" "Start motors!" "More depth charges!" "Captain!" "Start motors!" "Flank speed!" "Full power!" "Full power!" "Suzuki..." "Ascend angle 20." "Ascend angle 20." "Arisawa..." "Pilothouse, sonar!" "Twin screws!" "It's her." "A leak!" "Suzuki!" "Close outrigger valves!" "Matsumoto!" "Bring a wrench!" "And canvas!" " You okay?" " Yes, sir!" "Parceling cord, quick!" "Tie it tight!" "Ishimaru!" "Hang onto that helm!" "Canvas, over here!" "Ichimura!" "Take him out!" "But..." "Get out!" "Let's get out of here!" "Sonar blind spot is widening!" "Keep pinging her." "You okay?" "Yes, sir." "Damage report." "Torpedo Control, leakage." "Okayama?" "Under control!" "Good!" "Engine Room!" "Fire!" "Tamura..." "Come with me!" "Let's stop the motors." "No." "Kuwata can handle it." "But..." "Maintain speed." "Horizontal plane." "Yes, sir!" "Ichimura!" "Lt Kuwata!" "He's still in there!" "Well done." "We kept the motors going." "Lt Kuwata!" "We're okay!" "Captain!" "Fire extinguished!" "Roger!" "Now they can't use sonar." "We'll play dead for a while." "Run silent." "Pilothouse, Sonar!" "The dead area is widening." "It'll take awhile till we can hear again." "He probably won't run." "Hard Left Rudder." "All Engines Stop!" " Hard Left Rudder, aye!" " All Engines Stop, aye!" "Okay, I'll wait for you... just try and move." "Let's see who's more patient." "Captain..." "They'll be out of action a while." "Take care of them." "Yes, sir." "This is a first." "Sir?" "Seeing you outside the engine room." "You're probably right." "Thank you for coming to see my men." "Mr. Kuwata..." "It looks like we're in for a fight." "All sections report on repairs." "Double Lucky Seven..." "Beautiful stars." "They remind me of my kid brother." "He liked to talk about stars." "He wanted to be an astronomer when he grew up." "When the war started, he joined up with the Navy and landed on a destroyer... like he was following me." "Sure, we were ready, ready for anything." "But none of us ever dreamed of him dying to something... as horrifyingly insane as a man riding in a torpedo." "The Japanese Navy was supposed to be... the best and bravest opponent out there." "Professional sailors, bound by honor who fought smart and fair, but then to create a creature like that." "What's driven them into this madness?" "They can't see this starry sky from there side of the pool." "Vitamins." "Thank you." " You okay?" " Yes, sir." "I'll do it." "Captain... we've been down 35 hours." "CO2 levels are passing acceptable limits." "Soon everyone's going to pass out." "That's right." "Thank you." "Captain... isn't it about time we were allowed to attack?" "The kaiten..." "We could use them." "Suzuki... call the mechanic." "Excuse me." "Careful, Mori!" "One spark and you'll blow us all up." "Yes." "Okay!" "They're basically Type-93 torpedoes." "They run on compressed oxygen." "Without their oxygen, they're useless." "A kaiten isn't very maneuverable." "You'd just end up cruising around... till your fuel ran out." "It'd be a waste." "But thank you, Toyama, for giving me the idea." "Release Kaiten 1." "Mitchan, is that picture for Big Brother, too?" "That's a good submarine." "It's a whale." "Their oxygen's has to have run out by now." "Are you sure they haven't sunk?" "No, they're still alive." "Radio message from escort command, Guam." "Proceed immediately to provide escort for convoy 2, sir." "Sailor, you haven't heard that message." "Sir?" "Cut off all radio transmissions." "For the last 10 minutes, communications have not been operational." "Mr. Flynn, we're done waiting." "It's time to collect for those 13 sunken ships." "I'm going to stop him cold." "This will be our last battle against the Japanese Navy." "Tamura..." "Their captain's left-handed." "He turned to port after he dropped his charges, didn't he." "When he drops his charges he'll turn to port... circling with a 300-meter radius to come back at us." "But at the same time... what if we turned to starboard?" "Our turning radius is 50 meters." "We come up to torpedo depth before he finishes his turn." "Then we'll have him amidships as he comes around." "But he's only made 2 passes." "We can't be sure he'll turn to port based on that." "Arisawa... told me that." "When he attacks next we sneak in under him." "Repairs complete." "Motors operational." "We'll torpedo him." "Restart motors!" "Ahead full!" "Restart motors!" "Ahead full!" "The destroyer's moving!" "Bearing away southeast!" "Is he giving up?" "He's going to escort the convoy." "No." "He won't give up that fast." "Tamura..." "Stand by torpedoes." "Yes, sir." "Screws!" "Bearing 2-4-0!" "Range 2,300 yards!" "He fell for it!" "The game begins!" "All ahead Flank!" "Left Full rudder!" " All ahead Flank!" " Left Full rudder!" "All ahead Flank!" "He's coming around!" "I thought so." "Captain, she's come about and she's heading straight for us!" "He realizes there's no point trying to escape." "Do you think he'll use his suiciders?" "No, he won't use them." "He's got too much honor for that." "but that might be his undoing." "Standby depth charges!" "Standby depth charges!" "He'll come at us with a torpedo attack coming up to periscope depth." "Set for 100 feet!" "Set for 100 feet!" "Target heading?" "Starboard 30." "Closing at 20 knots." "He's expecting torpedoes, so he'll set charges for 20 meters." "Go down to 50." "Go down to 50." "She's not coming up!" "What is he up to..." "Left Full Rudder!" "Left Full Rudder, aye!" "He's turning to port!" "Right full rudder." "Ahead full." "Bow angle 10." "Right full rudder." "Ahead full." "Bow angle 10." "Open Tubes 1 through 4." "Stand by torpedoes!" "Standing by!" "Standing by!" "It's him." "It's him, Arisawa." "Fire!" "Firing!" "Tube 1 not firing!" "Fire 2 through 4!" "Firing 2!" "Firing 3!" "Firing 4!" "Turning to starboard!" "Come about to Starboard!" "Right Full Rudder!" "Right Full Rudder, aye!" "Torpedo in the water!" "Close aboard!" "Port K-gun's!" "Set depth for 30 feet!" "30 feet?" "!" "Captain, we'll damage our own ship!" "Fire!" "If he'd fired 2 seconds earlier, we'd have had it." "Missed." "All ahead Flank!" "After him!" "He's coming at us!" "Down periscope." "Bow down full!" "Go under him again." "All hands forward!" "Get that last torpedo fixed." "We can't get clear!" "We're going to collide!" "If he hits a kaiten, it'll explode!" "Flank speed!" "Right full rudder!" "Tilt the boat!" "Right full rudder!" "It's our last one!" "Hold on!" "Yes, sir!" "Captain!" "The hydraulics are out on the horizontal planes!" "She won't stop!" "Blow main tank." "Blow main tank." "Full blow." "Still sinking." "Leaving safe depth." "Close outrigger valves!" "Bring cord!" "Block this!" "Cord!" "Take over." "182 meters... 184... 186..." "Look out!" "Mori!" "Get the doctor!" "Mori!" "I lost my grip on it..." "Okayama!" "No one's to blame." "Tamura..." "Eject Petty Officer Mori's body through a torpedo tube." "Release oil and waste material with him." "Yes, sir." "It's Big Brother!" "Big Brother from the submarine!" "Big Brother!" "Big Brother!" "It was a surprise, you showing up like that." "I hadn't thanked you for the good-luck charm." "Am I imposing?" "Not at all." "I'm glad you came." "Maybe it's a reward... for visiting my parents' grave today." "That music...do you have a copy?" "If you don't, it'd be a shame if it got lost." "There's no other copy." "If there were, it wouldn't work as a charm." "I know my way from here." "You should go back." "The children are waiting." "I'll be waiting." "Please come back." "Without fail." "I'll treasure it." "I won't let your good-luck charm sink into the ocean." "Wait..." "O Orion..." "Guide Mori." "And Mori..." "Guide us." "Launching." "I doubt he's ever lost a man before." "Okayama, get that thing fixed." "Aye, sir." "Get to work." "It was in his pocket." "The body has to be from the Japanese sub." "Give this back to him." "Do you think we sank her, or do you think she's playing dead?" "Was his shirt buttoned up?" "Sir?" "The buttons on his uniform." "Were they buttoned up?" "Yes... they were buttoned up, sir, right up to the collar." "They're still alive." "They'll never give up." "Aye, sir!" "O Orion." "Guide the one I love." "So he may not lose his way home." "Okay?" "Captain..." "We've been here 12 hours." "Oxygen's running low." "Shall we open another kaiten?" "Wait a bit." "Kubo!" "What are you doing?" "Let me go!" "Get down!" "Launch me!" "Come down!" "I've got something!" "Now, listen." "We're not fighting to death." "We're fighting to live." "A man isn't a human bomb." "You've only got one life." "Don't waste it." "The enemy's moving!" "Coming up fast astern." "All hands brace for depth charges!" "At 190 meters... that one bang won't give him a fix on us." "We have less than one hour of oxygen left." "Okay, let's eat." "Chief Cook, rice balls to all hands." "Roger." "Okay, lots of salt." "Don't sweat into them!" "Fill 'em up." "Come on!" "A whale... 2 babies..." "This is the Captain." "Your attention, please." "You have born these conditions very well." "I thank you." "For 22 months we have fought together on this vessel." "We've seen hard times... and overcome them with our united efforts." "Thank you." "The ship has sustained damage, but by uniting our efforts... we will come back to life once again." "The I-77 will now use... its one remaining torpedo to launch a final attack." "Except for the wounded let us all fight... and win... and go home to Japan to eat our fill." "Battle stations." "Battle stations!" "Mr. Kuwata, how are the motors?" "We've just about managed to fix them." "With the injuries, we're short-handed..." "No, we're fine." "With 1 torpedo, it won't be easy." "But Captain... you'll beat 'em." "Thank you." "Mr. Tamura, how's the torpedo?" "Give me 10 more minutes." "All right." "One more thing..." "Yes, sir?" "Can you adjust the kaiten speed?" "Well..." "Don't move till I say." "Right." "Do you think we can surface?" "If we concentrate our air pressure, we can blow the tanks once." "But the vents are damaged." "Once we surface, we can't submerge again." "Suzuki..." "Yes, sir." "Could you play for us one more time?" "Do you think they might have gotten away?" "No, they're still down there." "Pilothouse, Sonar!" "Are they moving?" "No, sir!" "Then what?" "Music, sir." "Music?" "I hear music coming from the sub, sir." "Is the lack of oxygen affecting them?" "Her position is bearing 3-4-0 range 1,300 yards." "It sounds like she's really deep." "Why would they be giving away their position?" "Screws!" "Screws from the same location!" "Bearing?" "Are they coming toward us?" "No, sir!" "They're moving away right bearing drift!" "Speed 6 knots." "Captain..." "they're finally making a run for it." "How many screws?" "It's hard to tell because of the depth, sir, but..." "There's 2 of them!" "Right bearing drift." "Captain!" "Let's go get em!" "They're getting away!" "Captain!" "All ahead full!" "Standby depth charges!" "We'll use everything we've got!" "We're gonna be right on top of..." "Get it ready!" "We're gonna go on top of the board!" "The enemy's moving." "Heading port 25, range 1200." "Unmanned kaiten..." "No one would expect that." "Captain, we're ready." "Our crew here has fixed the torpedo." "Awaiting your order." "We'll get it on target for you." "Thank you, Torpedo Officer." "Kojima?" "Range 800 meters." "We're ready to attack." "Thank you, Navigator." "Let's move out, then." "May I, Captain?" "It's been an honor serving with you, sir." "Blow main tank." "Periscope depth." "Blow main tank." "Okay, men... do your buttons up." "They'll laugh at Japan if we surface out of uniform." "150 meters... 145... 140... 135..." "40..." "Depth 30 meters." "Start motors." "Left full rudder!" "Left full rudder!" "Starboard ahead dead slow, port back dead slow." "Bring us around." "Pull it." "Up periscope." "Up periscope." "Depth 19.5 meters." "Right!" "Open Tube 1!" "Open Tube 1!" "Okayama..." "Aye!" "Target heading 30 starboard." "Running depth 2." "Standing by." "Fire!" "Go!" "Standby depth-charges!" "High-speed screw on the port side!" "It's coming right at us!" "It's a torpedo!" "Hard Left rudder!" "Port back full!" "Hard Left rudder, aye!" "Dodge it!" "Dodge the damn thing!" "A hit." "Captain!" "It won't sink." "Captain... we're surfacing." "They replaced our guns with kaiten." "We can't shoot it out." "Damage Report!" "Put that fire out!" "Have the radiomen get out a distress call... to any ships in this area with our location!" "Aye aye, sir!" "Captain!" "She's surfacing!" "All guns prepare to fire!" "All guns prepare to fire." "Aye!" "Prepare to abandon ship!" "Prepare to abandon ship!" "We finally got him!" "All guns prepare to fire!" "Give them time to abandon ship." "Abandon ship!" "They're going to shoot!" "Get clear!" "You'll get shot!" "Abandon ship!" "Get clear of the boat!" "Quick!" "They're going to shoot!" "Captain!" "From Submarine Command." "It's urgent!" "Japan... has surrendered." "Japan... has lost." "It's over?" "Captain..." "the screws will still turn." "Ram the enemy ship." "Japan is finished." "Chaos will reign." "A true warrior kills as many of the enemy as he can." "We owe this... to our dead comrades." "A signal." "It's English." "Look." "Midsummer Orion." "O Orion..." "Guide... the one I love... so he may not... lose his way home." "Subtitles:" "Arigon" "It's not finished." "It's just beginning." "Orion had never looked so beautiful." "If not for that signal... both you and I might not be here." "On the front lines, it wasn't easy to accept that the war was over." "This music is what really ended the war for us." "It brought home to us... the obvious fact that we were all human." "After the war, the I-77 crew used to get together every year." "But Captain Kuramoto never came." "I guess he never got over the pain of losing one of his crew." "That's the kind of man he was." "He went into the merchant marine." "I know." "He just couldn't leave the sea behind." "Pain and suffering... the sea takes it all in for you." "Dad!" "Come over here!" "Are you ready for a walk?" "Can I tell you a story today?" "All right, about a great hunter." "And he had a great dad." "He was a king of ocean named Poseidon."
