What appears to be a civilian boat is seen in the harbor. Carrier landing for FJ2s aboard USS Coral Sea (CVA-43). Marines stand in formation on deck with FJ2s lined up behind them. A marine officer observes the port where what appears to be a Navy Destroyer sits. Navy sailors and officers stand at attention on deck. In the background a P5M with its nose removed and wings folded. A truck is lifted aboard. A HUP helicopter flies just off deck. Multiple FJ2s take off, one manned by Capt. Tomlinson (307). Crew hooks up to catapult as catapult officer directs. Sergeant R.W. Thomson laughs and chats with the cameraman. Navy officers stand in formation. The USS Remey (DD-688) is seen pulling out from port. The USS Coral Sea is loaded and prepared.
