The U.S.Navy submarine AL9 performing high speed maneuvers on the surface, during World War 1. What looks to be a camouflage paint scheme is where paint has been abraded away by the sea. Toward the end of the sequence, a Pennsylvania-class "Super Dreadnaught" battle ship is seen in the background. (Note: During World War I, Captain of the AL-9 was Captain Percy T. Wright, and the Executive Officer was Commander Terry Brewster Thompson, who later wrote about the exploits of the AL-9 in his book entitled "Take Her Down".)

A gun mounted on the submarine. The deck of the submarine. The captain in the conning tower of the submarine. Another U.S. submarine displaying 'AL-10' on its conning tower.
