There is another military officer below them, running towards a blast. The top of the card reads "NO GREATER GLORY! NO GREATER STORY!" in black letters. Below that is a depiction of two ships in battle. On the left side of the card is a a white box that reads "THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST DARING SUBMARINE OPERATIONS IN THE HISTORY OF NAVAL WARFARE! CHESTER W.

Below the box is a depiction of a sinking ship, with people in a life raft, with a plane flying overhead. The card is in various degrees of blue and white instead of the typical black and white.
