Destructor
Dirección William A. Seiter
El auténtico protagonista de esta película es el destructor bélico norteamericano John Paul Jones, barco que sirvió en la I Guerra Mundial. La película repasa cada etapa de su vida y para ello se sirve de varios miembros de su tripulación. Uno de ellos es Steve, que ayudó a construirlo y ha aprovechado la II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) para volver a filas; el otro es el capitán del destructor.
