This, coupled with a blind sense of duty, is what drives him to take a tiny ship on a suicide mission. Bernie led a failed rescue mission roughly a year prior, and despite having done all that he could, his reputation was severely damaged. The leader of this operation is Bernie Webber (Chris Pine - totally made for this kind of thing). When a random tow-truck driver notices the Pendleton's lights cutting through the fog, he alerts the now depleted local Guard who decide, against reason, to mount a rescue. The Mercer manages to send a distress signal, resulting in an immediate rescue operation from the Coast Guard, but the Pendleton is too damaged for the crew to do much of anything but hope. Amidst this meteorological madness, two tanker ships, the SS Fort Mercer and the SS Pendleton, are smashed to pieces. In the winter of 1952, a record-breaking Nor'easter hit New England, setting the seas into a state of extreme turbulence.
