Crippled U.S. aircraft carrier completes Saga of the sea. Smoke and flames pour out of the U.S.S. Franklin, and a cascade of burning gasoline gushes down the ship's side in the right venter, spreading destruction as it streams down. A group of survivors is on the hangar deck at the left. They gaze toward the approaching flames as they await rescue from the seemingley doomed vessel.
