Admiral Armistead
SIR, I am not returning to base until you publicly drop the false charges brought against me. There is confirmation that Yamato and Hiryu sit at the bottom of Truk Harbor. I am being falsely accused and I do believe that either you have false intel or I am being framed.
I do not wish to stand trial for something I did not do. I suggest that you inspect your direct subordinates. Lt. Goose may be working for the enemy by trying to shut down the USS Grenadier.
Sir, with all due respect, I think this is stupid. I am being tried for falsified medical records among other things. I'll have you know that before the USN approves anybody to Submarine School, the recruits undergo a Psychiatric Evaluation to see if they are fit for Submarine duty. After I completed my Naval Academy Education and was commissioned, I passed this Evaluation with flying colors. They wouldn't have let me be a submariner otherwise.
Sir,
I will return to base. I want to meet with my officers before anybody comes aboard or goes ashore. I want the MP's to detain Lt. Goose on charges of espionage. It may be a leak in our system or maybe our radio communications are compromised. I think you should explore your options before you single me out and blame me for something that I didn't do or wasn't involved in.
Regards,
Lt. Commander Eugene D. Williams, USN, USS Grenadier
Does anybody else see a WW2 replay of the show Last Resort here?
