A Japanese film describes her Empire ambitions in the early 1930s
Film opens with animated map showing Japan and its nearby Asian mainland neighbors. Arrows from Japan point to areas and islands that Japan considers part of the Japanese empire. In addition to Pacific islands, they include Asian mainland places, Manchuria, and the Sakhalin Islands. The map shows the Northern limit of Japan's territorial reach with a line drawn on the map at about 47 degrees North latitude. The map shows the reach of Japan's empire extending South to include all of Manchuria and in the Pacific to encompass all the scattered islands in the Pacific accessible to Japan. The map begins drawing a circular boundary to the East encompassing all these areas of the Japanese Empire. Film shifts to Japanese navy warships patrolling the Eastern Pacific boundaries of the Empire, and bi-wing aircraft flying in formation overhead. Rising sun symbol seen on underwings of biplanes.

U.S. destroyers and battleships in live fire maneuvers, in the Atlantic
Flotilla of U.S. destroyers underway in formation. Torpedo tubes and depth charges seen on aft deck of a destroyer churning up considerable wake, as it moves at high speed. A sailor climbs upon a seat atop the torpedo tube assembly, while another sailor rotates the assenble to port. The torpedoman uses controls to aim the tubes. View from different time and location, shows a torpedo being launched from tube in very calm waters. The torpedo makes big splash as it hits water and another soon after, before proceeding away, across an open bay. A line of battleships firing salvoes from their heavy guns. The smoke raised is so dense, that it obscures the entire scene completely.
