US Naval fleet underway in the Pacific Ocean during the Battle of Santa Cruz Island of World War 2. Aft section of the flight deck aboard the USS Enterprise (CV-6).

An explosion rocks the ship and the SBD airplane at the stern falls into nearby gun sponson. Several men are in prone positions on the stern of the flight deck. One lone sailor runs forward, the length of the flight deck. Personnel running with fire hoses. SBDs and US Navy F4F Wildcat parked on the flight deck.
