A U.S. Navy ship caught in a storm. Later, sailors prepare a deck gun for firing

An American ship being pummeled by wind and wave in a storm at sea. Next, sailors are seen preparing to fire a 4-inch / 50 caliber Mark 9 deck gun mounted near the ship's stern.. The sailors work on the gun, while an Officer holding a log book, of sorts, observes. The sailors raise the gun barrel and rotate it to starboard. They ram a shell into the breech, and rapidly close it. (The breech is equipped with an Ausbury mechanism for rapid opening and closing.) They continue to open and close the breech, loading multiple powder charges. Closeup from a different viewpoint of the gunners loading the gun, as a sailor at the gun maneuvering controls elevates the barrel with a hand crank

USS Tennessee struck by Kamikaze , off Okinawa, during World War II

A United States New Mexico class battleship (believed to be the USS Idaho) is seen underway off Okinawa in World War 2. Heavy flak (antiaircraft gun fire) in the sky. Japanese Kamikaze (suicide dive bombers) in the skies under heavy flak fire. Kamikaze dives and strikes a battleship that appears to be the USS Tennessee (BB-43) throwing up a ball of flame. In the background is a smoking Destroyer, probably the USS Zellars (DD777) which was already hit by one or two Kamikazes. The Zellars and Tennessee were a short distance ahead of the Idaho during the attack. The Zellars was dead in the water as the Idaho passed it.
