This military documentary presents life aboard an American aircraft carrier -- later revealed to be the USS Yorktown -- operating in the Pacific theater during World War II. Filmed in color and incorporating the inventive use of gun-mounted cameras, the production depicts both the daily routines of those on the massive ship and the intensity of aerial and naval conflict in a number of battles with Japanese forces entrenched on various small Pacific islands.
