U.S. Navy Destroyer Fires Depth Charges
Master 1490 - Tape 1 Nice TLS rear 3/4 view from sailing U.S. Navy destroyer; naval officer stands on deck, peering through binoculars while sailors fire three Mark 9 depth charges into sea from deck-mounted Mark 6 K-Gun launchers (projectors); cam pans right to last charges hitting water while earlier charges explode underwater, producing a massive though strangely beautiful plume of water & spray that spans wide & high. TLS same but from higher deck angle; pan right to large underwater explosions setting forth high-reaching spray. Gorgeous colors. TLS underwater explosion from depth charge. Opposite angle shot of U.S. sailors firing depth charges into ocean from sailing naval vessel; pan left to charges hitting water & sinking, shortly after which exploding. More of same.
