Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Royal Navy Visits Canada. DESCRIPTION: Steaming in towards the big harbour at Halifax, Nova Scotia, ships of the Royal Navy were returning from a special assignment in the Atlantic, where they’d been on extensive manoeuvres. The accent had been on anti-submarine exercises, in which fourteen warships of Britain’s Home Fleet had been working with fifteen of the Royal Canadian Navy. Destroyers played a big part in the manoeuvres, and so did Aircraft-Carriers, such as HMS Bulwark, for example. SHOTLIST: GV fleet. Aerial shot of ship. Aerial pan of ships. Pan of aircraft carrier.
