Summary: A few points of note for bomb aimers when bombing ships.
Description: The film opens with some general shots of shipping and with a brief shot of a bomb aimer taking up his position in the cabin of an aircraft. The film then uses simple animated drawings to illustrate how to recognise when a ship's engines are stopped or are reversing, or when a ship is turning. The difference in manoeuvrability of freighters and warships is shown. The effect of tidal streams on a torpedo aimed at a ship at anchor is also shown.
