[first lines]
Narrator:
At the beginning of the American Civil War, when Virginia voted to secede from the Union, the United States Navy was forced to abandon Gosport, its finest naval facility. The U.S.S. Pawnee arrived with orders to make certain that nothing of any value was left to fall into Confederate hands, including the pride of the Navy: the 40-gun steam frigate Merrimack.
Commdr. Smith:
Burn every ship that can't be towed! Burn the machine shops, the storehouses...
Lt. Joe Smith Jr.:
What about the drydock, sir?
Commdr. Smith:
Destroy it, completely. One thing we mustn't leave for the enemy is the drydock.
