Sequence on sailors carrying out various tasks under the watchful eyes of instructors: Firing deck guns, firing dummy torpedoes, dropping depth charges, launching lifeboats, retrieving dummy torpedoes. Sequence on shore based training sailors drilling, practicing various routines. Cut to shipboard shot of bridge, Aldis lamps glowing during transmission of message. Cut back to Esquimalt base, men practicing loading a deck gun in a hangar, studying the innards of a torpedo as an instructor stands by.
