U.S. Navy training film about escape from ditched modern jet fighters that sink faster than the old propeller airplanes

Narrator remarks about the short time for escape from such aircraft on the surface of the water. Views of tests conducted by the U.S. Navy to test the sink rates of jet aircraft from various heights and attitudes. A dummy is placed in the cockpit of a derelict F9F Panther, which is lifted by a crane and is dropped into water from a low height. It is seen floating. (Narrator states that even with no structural damage, it sinks in less than a minute.) Next an FJ-2 Fury is dropped from about 55 feet. Due to structural damage, narrator states such an aircraft may sink in a few seconds, and generally between zero to 55 seconds. View of crane operator and then of an airplane sinking rapidly. Scene shifts to James F. Roth of U.S. Navy Attack Squadron 42,(VA-42) the "Green Pawns," in the closed cockpit of a Navy jet airplane.
