Visit Visit our website Filmed at sea with the Sixth Fleet in the late 1950s, A FORCE FOR PEACE shows the aircraft carrier USS Randolph and its air arm, including A-1H Skyraiders and jet fighters. This print is slightly incomplete and missing the main title and a portion of the ending. The film begins in Norfolk as the crew says goodbye and departs for the Mediterranean and duty in Europe. At 4:54, the Captain addresses the ship's complement and discusses the importance of a strong presence in the Med, to protect world peace. At 6:11, the USS Forrestal's aircraft welcome the Randolph as it approaches Gibraltar. Dignitaries from the Royal Navy board the ship at 7:50. Life aboard the aircraft carrier is shown with various routines. At 11;40, FJ-2 Fury jet aircraft are prepared for launch and spotted on the flight deck. Aircraft launch is seen at the 13:45 mark, with Piasecki HUP-1 rescue
