 Good evening gentlemen. This is the captain speaking. We have just completed the last deck cycle of this cruise and are headed 283 degrees true for Pier 12 at Norfolk Naval Base. The ship will dock tomorrow at 1300. You've had a tough time of it lately, but you've done a fine job. Well done to all hands. Going to sea is exciting for a man. Stimulates him. He looks forward to it. The excitement of going to far places and seeing new things and coping with unforeseen problems. It's a real challenge, but there's often a great deal of sacrifice that has to be made. It's made generally by those people that love him, particularly his wife. You know you can get absolute answers in most relationships between mass and space and time. But when you inject a man into the equation, it becomes so complex that our fancy computers can no longer handle the problem. It takes a human mind to be able to deal with it. This relationship is so intimate that it is often difficult to distinguish the sailor from his ship and the ship from his sailor. It's his home, his workbench, his chapel, his office, his dining hall, and in some instances it becomes his tomb. Now set the special scene anchor detail. All departments make preparations for any report. It's funny you know how little things affect a man's whole life. If I had not seen those sailboats on the Severn River that year we went up to the World's Fair in New York, I'd probably be some of the place far away from here today. It's a marvelous piece of machinery, 88,000 tons of steel and 5,000 men. Stop. Oh, and just stop by, sir. Pick up the ladder and race. We're stand up by to pick up. They share a love with any good captain has I guess for his machinery. I love to have them stand right beside me and hold my hand like a babysitter. I don't believe I've ever got a bad piece of advice from one of them all the years I've been dealing with them. Use ahead, two thirds. Right 30 degrees, rudder. Second pull, this is the first we have all messengers out ready to receive touch. Take control. It won't be long till we are home. We've been so far, working all night, working all day. Look at us now, steaming along into the bay. And though we may have been young at the start, I know we've grown a good bit and now we're coming home. Home from the sea, from the sea. There is so much more to do. We're moving might as to go. But once we're inside, swing her around, end of our journey. The tugs will not just fall into the pier, because we're coming home from the sea. Our ship is such a... And we are part checking the sea. Easy to stand up here in this crow's nest and give orders to the helm and the engines, and to the pilots, and expect it all to be done right on schedule. You have to learn that this crew is made up of 5,000 young people. All individuals, all with the same sorts of problems and troubles and feelings and thoughts that your own children have, kids 19, 21 years old, now become a man in handling some of the most expensive machinery in the most complex system in the world and doing it precisely on time, on schedule. With such precision, skill and devotion. Just look at them wait. They're waiting all along the shore. They seem so far below. Wish I could see. Wish I could know. Someone who's come to see. Secure the special scene anchor detail.
