British sailors convert a civilian fishing trawler into an auxiliary patrol vessel and operate it in Pacific waters

Two men look at a Navy recruiting poster showing line of battle ships and message "Join the navy and see the world." The word "see" has been struck through and replaced with the word "save." A contingent of British sailors march on a dock in formation. Sailors are seen repainting a wooden fishing boat named "Kinji II." They paint the pennant number "FY 32" on it., designating it as an auxiliary patrol vessel. Crew readies to go on patrol. Two such patrol vessels make way at high speed. One shows Pennant number "FY 18"
