Sailors passing a wounded to others who prepare him for evacuation. Back on deck, medics are tending to some wounded, bandaging injuries and preparing bed-ridden for evacuation. Intervening slate reads: Most terrific blast of morning.(Note; all explosions are made from ships distant from CV-13. Impossible to shoot film aboard during detonations.) (Indicates that subsequent scenes are filmed from other ships.) Distant views of huge fire ball and dense smoke coming from the USS Franklin. Slate reads: Sante Fe returns.

Water running off the Franklin's deck. Small fire seen below decks. The Sante Fe inundating the Franklin with water from her hoses. View of aft deck of Franklin in pieces. Slate intervenes stating: Until dark Father O'Callahan, paying no heed to explosions and his own great peril attends the dying. Glimpse of sailors hauling lines on the Franklin flight deck. Then, Navy Chaplain, Father Joseph Timothy O'Callahan, is seen administering last rites to a dying sailor on the deck.
