This week, General Foods celebrated its 25th anniversary by spending $250,000 to capture all four TV networks for a 90-minute show.

In the center of the mighty array were 1,213 vessels carrying 182,000 assault troops and their gear of war. Supporting the transport and LSTs was the largest fleet concentration in naval history-nearly 1,500 war vessels, more than 40 aircraft carriers, 18 battleships, scores of cruisers. On the outer ring of the armada, far beyond the men on the bridges of the lordly carriers, rode the destroyers, the "small boys" of the fleet, charged with...
