I ended up, finally locating in the captioning sources line up, a set up that didn't crap out on Me, til near the final few minutes & by then.. wasn't really any dialogue, so no bit loss.

I believe that meat, was some form of ham.. as near as I can tell, because (can't recall right off which of the others at the table, said it... though table is too generous, considering the size of it in the cramped space there. Any way, that 1 guy, makes a remark to the 1st officer of swine or pig, as I recall in asking how they liked it.. I think. Or, may have been making a wise crack about the 1st officer... as the 1WO was often referred to as being a tight arse follower of the party. Party, of course, well understood as to what is meant there.

Particular, was that scene on board the 'Wesser' when they stopped off at Vigo, to resupply to make the attempt to pass through the Strait into the Med. When the Captain of the Wesser, mistook the 1WO, as being the skipper of U-96.

M. M.

Directors Cut is my favorite version. Lol I love how they mess with the 1WO(equivalent to the XO in US subs correct?) , especially when he tells him to play "Tipperary" lol The meat they were eating though, revolting lol

The "red headed 3WO makes me laugh, reminds me of a red headed college friend lol. Thomsen and 3WO are my favorites and the Captain of course.
