Not only was an Enigma machine found on the U-505, but also German code books. The radio room was stripped bare. Then Lieutenant David headed toward the captain's cabin. The cabin contained a small desk, sink and a bunk. David found the Skipper's safe. He opened it with a crowbar. Pickels breaks open locked drawers. Pickels finds the submarines official logbook. He finds out the boat's name. It is the U-505. David walks into the forward torpedo room. He finds several demolition charges. Luckily, the charges had not been activated.

Then David walked into the engine room. Jacobson was still trying to figure out how to shut down the electrical system. German words on the dials and levers were confusing him. Luckily, Jacobson throws a switch. The electric motors stop. Hohne yells that water is coming in the hatch. He closes the watertight hatch. The electrical system is turned back on to keep the submarine from sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
