Midway • 2019

Chester W. Nimitz: Congratulations, sir. You're the right man to run the Navy.
Ernest King: When they get in trouble, they send for the sons of bitches.
[King and Nimitz sit to continue their discussion]
Chester W. Nimitz: The situation is the Pacific is far worse than has being reported. We have three carriers. The Japs have ten. We have zero functional battleships, they have nine. They have more cruisers, more bombers, more fighters, and much of their equipment is more modern. We'll just have to count on the men that we have out there to hold the line.
Chester W. Nimitz: I don't envy the new commander.
[Nimitz looks at King, but King looks down in hesitation]
Chester W. Nimitz: It's me, isn't it?
Ernest King: The President asked for you himself. He said you should get the hell out to Pearl, and stay there until our ships sail into Tokyo Bay
