• [on board a badly shot up HMNZS Achilles] 

  Gunnery Officer : Captain, sir.

  Capt. Parry, HMNZS Achilles : Yes, guns?

  Gunnery Officer : We've fired nearly 1200 rounds sir. About one third of the arsenal only remaining.

  Capt. Parry, HMNZS Achilles : Thank you. Are you all right?

  Gunnery Officer : A few new ventilation gaps here, sir. A bit draughty, but otherwise all right.
