That’s sad to see.. the nose cowling is all bent.. that plane is sinking and never coming back.

Radio operator had to get out of his small hatch, conveniently under water.

CO: nuh uh, you think you’re getting back on this ship without a plane? You dive down there and come back with that plane AND a written apology.

The side net makes me think this is taken from the carrier, however you can assume that it was moving at significant speed if it was recovering aircraft. By the time they were out of the plane, the carrier would be long gone! I’d expect a rescue craft to be on scene pretty quick though.
