Slow motion pictures of activities on the flight deck of the USS Guadalcanal (CV-60) in World War 2. An F4U Corsair airplane approaches to the port side of the USS Guadalcanal underway in the Atlantic, during World War 2. It snags the first arresting cable, but heads off the port side, until the arresting cable pulls it back onto the flight deck, narrowly missing the photographer. Spray from firefighters is seen. The pilot exits the cockpit, toward the camera. flames break out beneath the airplane, and smoke rises from the scene. Suddenly large quantities of liquid are seen spraying the scene as firefighters come closer, extinguishing the fire.
A storm at sea. Huge waves rising in the sea. Two men hold fast to the rails of a large steamship and watch the waves. One gets wet as a wave splashes above deck. Views of heavy seas and threatening skies.
Many Pollywogs in the large pools on the deck of USS Enterprise during crossing the line ceremonies. Shellbacks bringing in the pool. Shellbacks dressed as pirates. Looking down over the large box used at the garbage trough. Shellback climbs in as the Shellbacks rub the garbage over the Pollywog. Man then leaves the wooden trough. Pollywogs being dumped into the pool. Shellbacks slapping the Pollywogs on the backside as they move along on their hands and knees. Some of the new Shellbacks wringing out their undershirt. Many of the new Shellbacks on the flight deck, talking and laughing over the whole matter. Many are dressed as pirates, many of the Pollywogs who are now full fledged Shellbacks. Standing around on flight deck, some of the Pollywogs trying to clean themselves up.
