Radioman

businesslike procedural dutiful efficient

Radioman operates communications aboard the German U-boat Wurrfler during a tense naval standoff. He speaks crisply into his headset to relay orders, then follows aides down the hatch as the captain clears the bridge and the submarine dives. His procedural actions maintain crew discipline amid the shift from surface confrontation to submerged operations, supporting the command structure that spares an enemy ship while enabling Indy's covert boarding.
