China Takes Over U.S. Navy Vessels

Text: CHINA TAKES OVER U.S. NAVY VESSELS

Narrator: The flag of China goes up over a former United States warship at San Diego, California, and the destroyer escort is taken over by its new captain, Commander Lin, shown with American Commander Herbrandt, who will help convoy the ship across the Pacific Ocean. The Chinese crew has had special training in the United States to man the vessels turned over to China under lend-lease arrangements. Eight ships in all will comprise the first convoy. This looks like Chinese checkers, and the American Sailors in return teach their Chinese comrades their favorite dice game. Sailors of both lands find a common ground of friendship as the convoy puts to sea.
