Fightin' Navy #85
The main story, "The Ensign," depicts a naval action sequence where carrier-based Japanese planes attack American destroyers at the dock, with one plane sparking explosions across multiple ships. A naval officer commanding the defense directs his men to target the remaining enemy aircraft while attempting to prevent additional casualties. A secondary story involves an investigation at a missile base where a saboteur has cut a critical cable; naval officers work to identify the culprit among their personnel, with suspicion falling on two men with printed security clearances. The issue also includes an educational feature on the historical development of naval gunnery and weaponry from the 16th century to modern guided missiles.
