A long pan across the sky - presumably intended to pick up distant aircraft. XLS of two destroyers steaming close together, and pan left to the coast, obscured by smoke. Another pan across the sky. LS to the coast again - thick, black smoke now rises from burning oil tanks, and the cameraman pans to show the extent of smoke pall.
