Submarine Command (1951)

Philip Van Zandt: Gavin

Quotes 

• Gavin : [contemplating the mothballed submarines]  How many of 'em you got here?

  Lt. Cmdr. Ken White : 64.

  Gavin : At 6 million bucks apiece that's close to 400 million dollars. Why don't you junk 'em, instead of just letting 'em sit there. That way the tax-payers would get something back for their money.

  Lt. Cmdr. Ken White : What if we should need 'em again?

  Gavin : Aw - it's my guess the next war'll be fought with push-buttons.
