Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
Superman, who can meet tall buildings of a single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, then steal in his bare hands, and who disguise this Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, Fights are never ending battle for truth and justice.
And now to our story, it begins for, out at sea, deep beneath the rolling surface of the water, where a sleek, gray-hole submarine, modern symbol of America's first line of defense slips through the murky depths like some giant, cypress creature of the uncharted oceans.
Inside the steel hull, the voices of its designer, Charles Grayson, and his commanding officer, Captain Denning, rise above the soft, rob of its engine. I'm afraid to take a chance, Mr. Grayson. We're down to 280 now!
But Captain Denning, the purpose of this test run is to prove that she can stand the pressure at 400 feet and better. Why, why, I'll stick my life on that. I know, but there are the lives of my crew to consider.
I'll grant they were hand-picked for this test run, but even so I can't expose them to unnecessary danger. It isn't danger. And even if it weren't, it isn't unnecessary. By ever since the calming tower of the first submersible slipped beneath the surface of the water.
Every nadley in the world has been striving to perfect a ship that could stand the enormous pressure at great depth. Well, you've done that. The weighty is good depth. I know, but it's not good enough.
