What are the commands given by Mr.Mitty to lieutenant Berg?

The commander's crew, including a certain Lieutenant Berg, clearly express their dismay and lack of hope, while their leader, whom they reverently call "The Old Man," stands as a pillar of strength and urges them on through the maelstrom.

After the commander orders his crew to make some technical changes to their aircraft, this opening paragraph ends as it began: with vivid and dramatic dialogue as the crewmembers proclaim their trust in their leader.
