Why it works
The first second names the ship over a moving 3D close-up, and the map at 0:11.8 turns the story into legible geography; that map overlaps the strongest replay peak at 0:12.0–0:12.6. Eight main shots support about 20 picture changes per minute through internal label and graphic updates, while the crew-to-loss comparison at 0:38–0:47 and memorial at 0:49–0:59 add a human payoff.
