Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (TV Series)

Submarine Sunk Here (1964)

Richard Basehart: Admiral Nelson

Quotes 

• Admiral Nelson : [Discussing flooding a compartment to right the boat]  We open a sea cock at this depth, the water will come in like a battering ram.

  Patterson : But the watertight door would be shut, Sir. The water would stay in the compartment.

  Admiral Nelson : Yeah. And so would the man who opened the valve. I can't ask any man to do that.

  [Crewman Blake overhears this conversation and makes his decision]
