    Cmdr. Joseph Rochefort: [Joins them] Admiral, I got some really bad news.

    Adm. Chester W. Nimitz: Well, today's the day for it.

    Adm. Chester W. Nimitz: How long will it take for you to unravel their new system?

    Cmdr. Joseph Rochefort: A month, maybe two.

    Capt. Matt Garth: Sir, do you still want that fleet order issued?

    Adm. Chester W. Nimitz: ...Yes. Target: Midway.
