Summary[edit]

Description
English: Atlantic convoy escort duty. The Royal Navy takes over from the U.S. Battle Fleet.
Far out in the Atlantic British warships await a convoy, the escort of which they are to take over from U.S. warships at a prearanged rendezvous, kept only as the result of efficient rout plotting in operations rooms ashore, plus first class navigation. Signal lamps challenge and answer as the senior ships of the respective escorts approach each other. After exchanging traditional pleasantries, the U.S. vessels turn off, their places being taken by British ships.
