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?

It is clear you don't understand proper navy protocol. YOU DO NOT ORDER ME. No charges have been brought against you yet, it's a DAMN hearing, a hearing in which you can defend your good name.
Your claims against Lt. Goose are unfounded and without evidence, yet you want him charged, why at the same time you refuse to face the suspected charges against yourself.
Your Patrol Report...YOUR REPORT is the evidence against you. You did this to yourself. You stated "I just don't want to lose career so early"
You claimed the Hiryu was creeping around the harbor blowing fireballs out it's arse engulfing your crew, after you claimed you SUNK IT. You then asked "What is going on here, possible VOODOO by the Admiral himself".
You blamed a Subchaser for foiling your attack, even though it wasn't attacking you.
This is your last chance to explain yourself. Report to base at once or I will have you shot on site. LAST CHANCE NIMWIT..........
