	~~{{Synopsis}}~~		Away from the coast of Korea, Comodore Dan Collier remembers its first assignment on this carrier vessel during the Pacific War.<br>
			Note : filming used lot of archive footage but mixed them more actual facts of the Korean War. These last one are identified by the action showing the deck of CVA-37 (37 painted on the deck's threshold). This is the USS Princeton (Essex class) commissioned in November 1945, too late to serve in World War II ! (but CVA-37 saw extensive service in the Korean War).
