What happens
Lieutenant Tom Sands, a Navy officer, is blamed after a gun explodes during target practice aboard a Navy ship, and he resigns his commission. Chief Gunner's Mate Mike Mallory testified against him at the inquiry, and Mike's sister Myra loves Tom. Later, Tom enlists as a seaman and ends up serving under Mike on a convoy freighter, the Civil Grey, carrying a four-inch naval gun crew. The episode is the Lux Radio Theatre production of The Navy Comes Through, broadcast on May 3, 1943, starring Pat O'Brien, George Murphy and Ruth Hussey.
A United States Navy convoy freighter, the Civil Grey, crossing the Atlantic during the Second World War, with a naval gun crew aboard, and a flashback to a Navy court of inquiry in Washington, D.C., in 1940.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
