Oct. 10, 1953 - Allied ships run into heavy going: Gale winds and stormy seas made it rough going in Exercise Mariner, a test of the defenses of nine N.A.T.O. nations against a simulated Communist attack. The U.S., Britain, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Portugal contributed some 300 ships, 1,000 aircraft and a half a million men to the exercise which ranged from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and was described as the largest combined maneuvers ever had. Pictures show: H.M.S. Vanguard, flagship of admiral Sir George Creasy, Commander-in-Chief Eastern Atlantic, digs her nose into a high wave in the Denmark Strait. Bottom: Heavy seas sweep over the docks of H.M.S. Vanguard as one of her lifeboats is smashed by the gale.
