    The Boilerplate Used for Simex. A scene of the hangar deck of the recovery ship the USS Princeton includes the Apollo 10 capsule in the center background. Three men in the center foreground are descending into an opening in the floor. A yellow vehicle is to the right, and three other men are standing near it. The sky in the background is done in pale greens and yellows which accentuate the darker and more vivid colors of the rest of the scene. Writing in the lower right reads: "USS Princeton LPH-5."
