The film follows the WWII exploits of the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) (unidentified in the film), in its first major operations following its commissioning in 1943. The life of the crew is documented from July 1943 to June 1944, from its passage through the Panama Canal through assaults on Marcus, Kwajalein, Truk and Tinian Islands, and culminating with the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Spectacular 16mm Kodachrome footage of combat operations and naval aviation is prominent throughout. 　　译文(2): 影片讲述了美国艾塞克斯级航空母舰“约克镇号”(CV-10)在二战期间的英勇事迹(影片中没有提及) ，在1943年服役后的第一次大规模作战中的英勇事迹。从1943年7月到1944年6月，船员们的生活被记录下来，从穿越巴拿马运河到对马库斯、 Kwajalein、 Truk 和 Tinian Islands 的袭击，直到菲律宾海海战。壮观的16毫米柯达彩色胶片战斗行动和海军航空是突出的整个。
