In this short scene, the two men discuss the launch of the new U.S. Naval Base in Norfolk, England. The two men are waiting to board the new submarine, which will be called the New London, and they discuss the pacifists who oppose the construction of the base. They urge the anti-nuclear activists to stop trying to hold the public opinion captive. They also discuss the fact that the new base will give them a chance to get to know one another better.
