I. Task Group 111.3 at sea. LS from the cameraship HMS Belfast to Bermuda and Argonaut in line astern in rough sea - Bermuda is rolling heavily - the sky is overcast. Bermuda flashes a signal as the weather worsens. Cut to LS of US destroyer (possibly a high speed sweeper) on the horizon as it flashes a signal, and pan right to convoy of LCI(L)s. Further LSs of LCI(L)s and a group of Raven Class minesweepers. View of the British line - the cruisers are followed by five destroyers, and HMS Colossus is visible on the horizon - weather bright with a moderate sea.

II. Shanghai, 19 September, 1945. LSs of the city from Belfast - starboard bridge wing Bofors at frame right. HA.MS aft down portside to 4-inch guns - crewmen are preparing the ship's launch. Passengers on a Chinese river steamer and people in sampans wave to the Belfast. LS to a River Class frigate moored in midstream, and pan left to two US destroyers moored alongside each other and surrounded by a crowd of local craft. Immediately upstream from the US ships are three destroyers of the British task group - Belfast passes close by on their portside to anchor immediately astern of them - the destroyer crews watch as the Belfast passes - the nearest is HMS Tumult (D.50), then HMS Tyrian (D.52) and HMAS Quiberon (D.20). HA.MS to eyes of ship as Union Jack is run up ensign staff and starboard anchor is let slip in a small cloud of rust. Final sequence shows Admiral Servaes receiving a visit from Chinese port admiral.
