Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent; themes: military command, collective action; style notes: high-contrast black and white, static camera, medium and wide shots emphasizing scale and group action

A group of sailors in white uniforms and caps are gathered on a wooden deck beside large cannons. A title card appears with the Russian word 'Накрой!' and its English translation 'Cover them!'.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
