View from the surfaced German U-Boat, UB-35, on a scenic cruise along the British coast in World War 1. The U-Boat crew uses explosives to sink a ship, close to shore (after releasing the ship's crew). The ship was loaded with salt herring for transport to Genoa, Italy. Repeated explosions are seen. In change of scene, five prisoners of war (British ship captains) take a morning walk on the deck of the UB-35 behind a screen of tarpaulin stretched across the deck. A slate referring to the difficulties experienced by Britain from German U-Boats. The U-35 Captain, Lothar von Arnauld de la Periere, is seen sitting in his conning tower. Other officers are keeping watch. He receives a message from a sailor below. He writes a note to Headquarters reporting on ships and tonnage sunk by the U-35, and mentioning 5 English ship's captains taken prisoner, in the month of May, 1917. He signs it: "U-35, Arnauld." Closeup of the note. The U-35 proceeds to rendezvous with the Austro-Hungarian Novara-class scout cruiser, "Helgoland." View of the 4-stacker Helgoland with black smoke issuing from her stacks. View from the U-35 as it passes to port of the Helgoland. Captain von Arnauld and another officer, greet an Austro-Hungarian navy officer who comes aboard bringing greetings and wishes for good luck from his Admiral, to the U-35. View of the Admiral's flagship,the Austro-Hungarian Armored Cruiser, S.M.S. Sankt Georg. (Slate reads three cheers for the returning U-Boat, so presumably the Sankt Georg crew gives cheers.) Camera pans across the cruiser to deck of the U-35, where officers and men of the U-35 salute and raise their hats in three cheers for their Austrian-Hungarian comrades. Flags fly from the U-35, one for each Allied ship sunk. The U-35 with crew on deck moves slowly into port next to another submarine and large ship. U-Boat Captain von Arnauld walks to a fleet message center. The U-35 crew happily receive and read letters from home. The next scene shows the U-35 heading out to sea again,
A three-masted schooner stopped at sea by a German U-Boat during World War 1. It is being watched by officers in the conning tower of the U-Boat. The submarine moves abeam the ship to which it sends crew members in a dinghy to attach explosives at her waterline. The Schooner, still under full sail, is seen settling slowly into the water, and finally sinks from sight. (World War I; World War 1; WWI; WW1)
Film opens showing recently launched British Navy de Havilland DH.112 Sea Venom aircraft in the air headed away from the Aircraft Carrier, USS Antietam (CVA-36). Another British Sea Venom aircraft takes off from the Antietam. Next, a slate is seen with date 23 June, 1953 and titled "Royal Navy Air Ops." The tail of a British Naval aircraft is seen with "Royal Navy WF 172" stenciled upon it. In the next scene, a Hawker Seahawk (early vesion with extended straight wings) is catapulted from the deck. A British Pilot is seen in a single seat Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft on deck. A straight wing version of a Hawker Hunter GA11 aircraft is catapulted from the deck. View of a A U.S. Navy Piasecki HUP-1 helicopter from the USS Antietam.
British Royal Navy Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft is seen approaching to land on the U.S. Aircraft Carrier, USS Antietam (CVA-36) during British Navy practice carrier operations using her angled flight deck, in 1953. Anti-aircraft guns on the Antietam are seen in foreground. The aircraft bounces upon touchdown and immediately continues in a touch and go landing. Another (or the same) Supermarine aircraft repeats a similar touch and go landing. A third British Attacker aircraft approaches to land, but rounds out too high and simply goes around. The next one seen executes a perfect touch and go but the one behind it fails to "touch" before continuing, as does the next one trying a touch and go. The next one makes a smooth touch down before proceeding to go. The final scene shows a Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft touching down and staying there, in a full stop landing employing arresting gear.
British Royal Navy practice carrier operations aboard the United States aircraft carrier USS Antietam (CVA-36) in 1953. A Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft lands on angled deck of the Antietam employing arresting gear. Several British Royal Navy Hawker Seahawk aircraft make repeated touch and go landings (10) on the Antietam. The last Seahawk plane makes an arrested landing.

Next are seen a succession of successful arrested landings by six Seahawk aircraft. The last one taxis after being released from arresting gear.
