"Was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. Just delivered the bomb, The Hiroshima Bomb. Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. Eleven-Hundred Men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about half an hour, A Tiger, Thirteen-footer. you know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You can tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. Well we didn't know. 'Cause our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us as overdue for a week.
