Brief shot of men climbing aboard a ship from a boat. Intertitle reads: "Today sees the entrance of the wireless-controlled Battleship, H.M.S. Centurion - the Robot of the Seas - as a moving target. (and shown for the first time in a Pathetone film.)" - may be incorrect as title is obscured by timecode. L/Ss of destroyer HMS Chicari (?) alongside HMS Centurion, taking on board the crew, before firing practice. Voiceover tells us Centurion is now a robot ship, controlled by wireless from the destroyer. Intertitle reads: "Miles away the great ships are shooting at her, as she steams along, without a single person on board, entirely controlled by radio."
