| Description: | "U.S. NAVY get new SEA LORD". Location of events unknown - somewhere off the coast of United States of America? M/S of the warship 'Pennsylvania' on the sea. On board the flag ship, we see massive guns being lowered as part of a naval ceremony to mark the retirement of Admiral Arthur J Hepburn and the appointment of Admiral C C Block (sp? Blogg?) as first in command of America's first line naval defense, the US Fleet. Numerous naval dignitaries in full parade dress look on. | |
