19:02 and there goes Shima’s plan mate. A fortune in stolen gold swallowed by the sea and a good man gone with it. Fare thee well Private First Class Ichiro Tanaka . You were one of the good ones, lad . Well griffjn , we need to find your brother, we got a debt to repay .
*Fade into the Level* “Right! Here’s the plan: there should be a huge ventilation system below decks to prevent the buildup of lethal gases. We are gonna find those systems and break ‘em, so the fans are always on. Next, we locate the fuel tanks, damage their valves so that they’re spraying vapour, and the fans’ll spread it all through the ship. Finally, we set a demolition charge in the centre, and sayonara! Let’s go, Griffin! And try not to attract too much attention! *Griffin proceeds to open the 4th vent.* “(Engineers report lowering fuel levels.)” *Bromley approaches Griffin as all vents are opened and monitors are damaged. He sets a charge.* “Right! Demolition time! We gotta get off this boat quick! I hope Tanaka managed to find something useful to do...” *Griffin and Bromley find the stored gold but are ambushed by sailors and are gassed. They regain consciousness, finding themselves restrained in the hospital section of the ship, with Griffin being interrogated by Shima, while another proceeds to repeatedly punch Bromley.* “You have caused me a great deal of pain. But this is nothing compared to the torture you are about to encounter. Your meddlesome irritations have cost me a fortune in gold! You may have won the battle, but I assure you, one day the war will come back to haunt you, and Japan will rise again! There is something very familiar about you, Yankee scum... Is it possible that you have a brother? ...Nothing to say? Then I shall pay a visit to my other American prisoner and see if his tongue is as resistant as yours. Only I will not be as gracious a host as you have seen here today.” *Bromley breaks free as Tanaka frees Griffin. Shima draws his Katana and holds Tanaka, staring down Bromley with a headlock on another Japanese Commander.* “Tanaka! No, lad! NO!” *Two guards rush in with pistols after Bromley throws Griffin the T-99 LMG, but are quickly taken out. Griffin and Bromley hide in the storage for a moment.* “Right! Get up to the bridge. I’ll arrange some transport below. Meet me on the flight deck!” *Rushing through the carrier, taking out planes and sailors alike, Griffin sees Shima holding his brother hostage, alongside a couple of guards.* “Say goodbye, American fool! This is as close to your brother as you will ever get!” *Continuing to wipe through sailors, he reaches the bridge.* “(The damage done is too extensive.)” *Griffin take out the two sailors guarding the wheel before proceeding to the runway, meeting with Bromley.* “Get into the plane! Get in, lad! Get in! Take the rear gun! I’ll get us out of here!” *Griffin quickly get in the tailgun as Bromley mans the plane.* “Ah, sorry. Controls are a bit touchy. Damn. We’re not gonna have enough runway to lift off! We need another go.” *With Griffin frantically shooting at planes, Bromley speeds up.* “What in blazes?! Keep us covered while I figure this thing out, alright? My Japanese is a bit rusty...” *Bromley turns the plane around and builds enough speed for lift-off.* “Here goes!” *Continuing to shoot at planes and at the ship, eventually the operation comes as an accomplishment, as the screen fades to white before fading back to a slow motion shot of the Toshikaze exploding and sinking.* “There goes Shima’s plans, mate! A fortune in stolen gold swallowed by the sea, and a good man gone with it! Fare thee well, Private Tanaka... You were one of the good ones, lad... Well, Griffin, we need to find out where Shima’s taken your brother! It’s up to you and me, mate. We’ve got a bit of a debt to repay!”

The part of the soundtrack during the takeoff and after the supercarrier is blown up felt like the feeling of despair and success rolled into one.
I still play this game to this day. Don't make em like they used to
18:21 The most epic finale
Rare soundtrack to find thanks for uploading.

Thank you so much for this!
I always hated how they never really release the real in-game soundtrack that fans have to do the job.
Thank you so much for posting this. It's been far too long since I've heard this score.
8:20 that’s what I call fun time
RIP Ichiro Tanaka
Press F to respect.
You were one of the good ones, lad!
