USS Springfield

Jonsey, still watching the Japanese fleet did a full sound check. With the boat going 30 knots, he didnt notice the Russian sub closing behind him. "Con, sonar. No new contacts. Suggesting we do a full turn to get a readig on our suroundings."

McCrea, still waiting for the votes of his officers, thought about it for a moment, then picked up the phone. "Sonar, what is the speed of the Jap fleet?"

"17 knots sir!"

Turning the phone from Sonar to speaker phone, the captain said to the crew, "Men, we are in the year 1941. In 20 hours aproxamately, Pearl Harbor will be attacked by the Japanese. We are on an intercept course with them. In ten minutes, we will preform a double Crazy Ivan. Secure all lose items." As soon as he finished, the XO gave him the box. Leaveing the con, McCrea went back to the Officer's room. He opened it, and picked up the first.

"Attack and sink."

The second: "Defend America to the best of our abilitys." The third and fourth were the same. The fifth read, "Do nothing." The sixth, seventh, and eighth read the same as the second. With six of twelve the same, McCrea didnt even read the rest.

McCrea tossed the scraps of paper, and put the box away, thinking "In only a few ours, we will change the course of History."

Also, as i posted in my first post, i put the Springfield on 'flank' speed. Not sure how 18 knots will catch that..Might want to edit the last post?...
