The Aircraft Carrier, USS Coral Sea (CV-43), is almost totally obscured by water and vapor clouds during a practice atomic radiation washdown, at sea.
USS Nautilus (SSN-571), the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine, is seen from an overflying aircraft, as it plows ahead at high speed, on the surface of the sea.
The Guided Missile Cruiser USS Canberra (CAG 2) is seen from another ship as she is underway. A terrier missile is launched from her stern area, showing a brilliant white flame as it heads toward a drone target aircraft somewhere in the skies above. Black smoke trails as it goes out of sight. Scene shifts to a tracking camers showing the missile and a clock. Suddenly the camera records the missile striking the drone plane which then is seen burning and falling from the sky in pieces.
A flight of Douglas A4D-2 Skyhawk aircraft are catapulted from the aircraft carrier, USS Forrestal (CV-59) during daylight.

Opening scene shows a tramp steamer listing to starboard.during World War 1. She displays "India, Greece" in large letters on her side. Slate indicates that an explosives technician from a U-Boat had climbed aboard and set charges on the Greek Steamer, "India" as she is stopped in the Atlantic during World War 1. The India is carrying a cargo of coal from Cardiff Wales, to Oran. The ship is seen listing. Smoke still rises from her stack. Slate states that the cross on the hull of the sinking "India" is the Greek national emblem. The ship sinks lower and finally slides out of sight, with smoke rising above the water from her exploding boilers. (Note: This German U-boat is the SM U-35, which was operating in the western approaches to the Straits of Gibraltar after leaving the Mediterranean on 11-12 April. It carried a professional cinematographer on board. Two years earlier, on June 12, 1915 , the U-35 also sank the British ship, "Crown of India." ) The next sequence shows an image of the German Daily Express newspaper for Monday May 10, 1915. Dead! it reports in bold print: The world has a duty to conduct a Hunt for turtles. Scene shifts to deck of surfaced German U-boat, showing a dinghy arriving alongside, from which several giant sea turtles are unloaded. Crew members examine the turtles on the deck of the submarine. At least one appears to be dead. Next scene shows lookouts on conning tower of the U-Boat, as they see smoke on the horizon. (The Imperial German Naval war flag is displayed on the conning tower.) The Captain calls for full speed ahead on both engines, and the controls show that being selected. (World War i; World War 1; WWI; WW1)
