A flight deck party removes ice and snow from the British aircraft carrier H.M.S. Vengeance which led a number of British naval units on a cruise of Arctic waters to test reactions of men and equipment under extreme cold. The carrier was holed while entering a vast icepack and 250 tons of water flooded the forecastle tank. The extremely difficult task of repairing the breach was carried out in sub-zero temperatures.
