This unclassified 1960 United States Navy training film outlines and demonstrates the defensive measures for a civilian vessel to take in order to prevent or reduce radiological exposure in the event of a nuclear blast. The film features what appears to be the USNS Upshur (originally named SS President Hayes) T-AP-198 transport vessel being used as an example for the defense exercise, along with crew, informational animations, and footage of nuclear blasts. USNS Upshur was part of the Military Sea Transportation Service from 1952 to 1973, and scrapped in 2011.
