As of patch 7.1.0, the quest is either bugged, either meant to be like this.

After accepting the quest, you get instantly teleported to Vashj'ir, completely skipping the event and everything related to it.

I've made a ticket, and as soon as I get an answer from a GM, I'll edit this comment.

EDIT: And his response goes like this:

"(...)My apologies for the delay in responding to your ticket and that you can't watch the cutscene in game, for the Call of Duty quest.

This is an intentional change by the developers as there was some bugs with the transition which caused the quest to bug out for the majority of people. It will likely get put in when the developers manage to fix the bugs. But for the time being there is no way for us to help you to watch the cut scene, other than for you to watch it on youtube (if it is on there). Something like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEcLfCeP4Sk

I'm sorry for any inconvenience.(...)"

Up this one guys, for the people that don't know!

Many dialogs in this event are voiced, I do enjoy them :)

Stormwind Recruit says: Why must we ride to battle on a mercenary ship? Used to be that we'd kill pirates as soon as look at them.
Stormwind Soldier says: See those ships in dock?
Stormwind Soldier says: They're the only ones that have returned from battle, and they're being repaired.
Stormwind Soldier says: I don't like it either, but it boils down to this...
Stormwind Soldier says: We pay the mercs to get us out there, or our troops get no reinforcements.
Stormwind Recruit says: That makes sense, I suppose. Just doesn't feel right...
Stormwind Soldier says: Welcome to the military, recruit.
------
Stormwind Recruit says: Earthquakes every other day, a crazy dragon tearing up the world, what's next?
Stormwind Soldier says: Put all of that out of your head, recruit.
Stormwind Soldier says: I've been fightin' Horde for ten years now, and I've never seen it worse than this.
Stormwind Soldier says: Just stay focused on the battle in front of us, or you won't live to worry about the rest.
Stormwind Recruit says: Yessir.
------
Stormwind Soldier says: I stopped by the park district on my way here. There's nothing left of it...
Stormwind Soldier says: Aye. I was here when the dragon attacked.
Stormwind Soldier says: He could've destroyed the entire city if he willed it. We were powerless to stop him.
Stormwind Soldier says: What drove him off, then?
Stormwind Soldier says: No idea. It made no sense...
Stormwind Soldier says: He flew in, torched the park, then just flew off.
Stormwind Soldier says: If you ask me, the beast is insane.
------
Stormwind Soldier says: I think I can just make it out from here. Right on the edge of the horizon.
Stormwind Recruit says: Make what out, exactly?
Stormwind Soldier says: The new island - just surfaced after the last earthquakes.
Stormwind Soldier says: It's what we're fighting for. On this front, at least.
Stormwind Recruit says: Have you been there?
Stormwind Soldier says: This'll be my third time now.
Stormwind Soldier says: Toughest fighting I've seen...
Stormwind Soldier says: We lose that island to the Horde and Stormwind's as good as gone... and they know it.
Captain Taylor says: That's enough, soldier.
Captain Taylor says: Now get your minds right! We'll be killing orcs within the hour.
Stormwind Recruit says: Yeah, I... I think I can see it too.
------
Captain Taylor yells: Listen up! Our transport should be here momentarily.
Captain Taylor yells: Fall in!
Captain Taylor yells: Alright, men! Move out!
<soldiers line up and get onto the ship.>

Mack Fearsen yells: Come aboard, now. Step right up!
Mack Fearsen yells: Cap'n Samir is navigatin' this here ship non-stop to that there ocean over yonder...
Mack Fearsen yells: ...where we'll commence to assistin' the Alliance in their little skirmish with them Horde fellers.
Mack Fearsen yells: Easy money! Commission's to be dispersed evenly among any and all survivors!

Budd yells: Ahoy!
Budd yells: I'm saaaailing!
Mack Fearsen says: Don't pay Budd no nevermind... poor fella's got a few screws missin'.
Budd says: Out on a boat... way far away from the dock...
Budd says: Into the wind with the sky and everything...
Budd says: Oooh... shiny!
<Budd jumps off the ship.>
Adarrah yells: Budd! Noooo!
Mack Fearsen says: Aww, Budd. Now what'd ya go an' do that for?

Captain Taylor says: Civilians...
Captain Taylor yells: Fall in, men!
Captain Taylor says: That island on the horizon is our destination.
Captain Taylor says: It's where we will do our duty, for our king, for Stormwind and for her people...
Captain Taylor says: Every orc you slay today will bring honor to them, and to every soldier who has come before you.
Captain Taylor says: Hellscream has sent his best to take this island. We shall see to it that none return home...
Captain Taylor says: Today Hellscream shall learn the lesson that Thrall failed to teach him...
Captain Taylor says: Stormwind shall never fall!
Captain Taylor says: Now make ready, for soon we'll be ashore.

Adarrah yells: Captain! Shipwreck off the starboard bow! There appear to be survivors!
Mack Fearsen says: What the... ?
<a kraken appears and people scream.>
<the ship sinks, so do you.>
<you are being attacked by nagas...>
Erunak Stonespeaker says: To the depths with you, beast!
Erunak Stonespeaker says: Hold on, human!
<you lose your consciousness.>
<you wake up and find yourself in a shipwreck.>
Erunak Stonespeaker says: Relax, friend. You have not passed away... yet. Sadly, these others cannot say the same.

Description

Citizen! As you may have heard, the Horde's attacking just offshore. The fighting's been fierce and relentless. We need every able body out there repelling the enemy! Report to the northernmost dock at once for transport to the battle. Oh, and our official warships are... err, a bit late in their scheduled return. Don't worry though, we've commissioned mercenary vessels to serve in the meantime. Hurry along now, {class}. Stormwind needs you!
