Quotes 

• CO CDR Tom Chandler : Lieutenant Foster. We need a female for this mission. You grew up on a farm. Can you still handle a rifle?

  Lt. Kara Foster : Qualified as expert marksman last year. I can knock the nipples off a chicken from a thousand yards, sir.

• CO CDR Tom Chandler : You were right. Ruskov was using the extra time to strengthen his position.

  XO Mike Slattery : Well, it's not like we could just sneak out of the harbor. Even under cover of night, we're glowing big and bright on his radar.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : We've got the world's best fighting machine and an entire naval base at our disposal. Gator, find us a way out of here. Lieutenant Green, I want a tactical plan. Work with Tex. He's not Navy, but he knows the island and he can fight. We need all hands.

• CO CDR Tom Chandler : [having fired on a patrol boat of Ruskov's]  Consider that a warning, which is more than you gave to my men. Next time, I won't miss.

  Admiral Konstantin Nikolajewitsch Ruskov : I am disappointed in you, Captain. You're not the leader I imagined.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : [in Russian]  And you are not the leader you once were. You murdered your own man just to make a point. Are you willing to kill three more?

  Admiral Konstantin Nikolajewitsch Ruskov : I will sink you.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : This is an Arleigh Burke destroyer. It was built to fight. You'd better know how.

• XO Mike Slattery : Suppose there's no way to convince you not to go?

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : Konstantin Ruskov's a military genius. Literally wrote the book on modern naval warfare.

  XO Mike Slattery : Maybe you can ask him to sign your copy.

  [Chandler rolls his eyes] 

  XO Mike Slattery : Seriously, Captain, there's only one way out of this harbor. Every minute we sit here gives that asshole time to dig in.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : He's already dug in. Meeting him is the only way. I need to look him in the eyes.

• Lt. Alisha Granderson : Sir, without radar, we're gonna be awfully close to that coral in order to hit the mark. We won't get a second chance.

  CO CDR Tom Chandler : We'll just have to get it right the first time.
