Shaky, jumpy a little blurry in imagery and contrast The United States Pacific Fleet leaves on the long journey to the Mid-Pacific Islands where important war maneuvers are in prospect. As they sail toward Hawaii, the ships are supposed to be fighting an enemy squadron. CU and MCU shots of the sailors kissing their loved ones good bye. The sailors families and friends waving good-bye to each other, from the ship to the shore. Battleships on open ocean.
