Anti-aircraft guns fire from the carrier's gallery

At the edge of the flight deck, a gun mount with several parallel barrels points out over the sea; its crew, in helmets and life vests, crowd round it and pass up ammunition, a jet of smoke streams from the muzzles, and farther along another gun fires with a flash. The gun tubs along the carrier's sides were the last defence against aircraft that got through the fighters.
