Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the film the ship's captain incorrectly informs the bosun that the English Royal Navy ship 'The Bounty' and its captain 'William Bligh' are a work of fiction. This will come as a surprise to the Pitcairn islanders, as they are directly descended from the mutineers of The Bounty.
- GoofsThe US Navy in WW2 was racially segregated. African-Americans were limited to stewards or chef mates. The film in several places them among the crew in roles that would not have been allowed at the time. While there were gun crews entirely made up of African-Americans, these were voluntary positions in addition to their assigned roles. Further, the crews did not serve together with the white gun crews.
- Quotes
Buck Fitzpatrick: You know better than to sound off like that. The captain knows what he's doing and he's right.
Chris Jordan: He's your tin God - you shoulda married him.
Buck Fitzpatrick: I ought to kick you over the side and I would too if it wasn't against regulations.
Featured review
Great WW2 naval war flick.
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. I was just a teenager then. Great story,great cast! I have always liked William Bendix. He did a great job acting as a CPO in the movie.(Hollywood must have thought so too! He played in two other movies as a CPO: Submarine Command with William Holden and Deep Six with Alan Ladd.)Liked Battle Stations so much, I sat through it twice! As I grew older and studied WW2 history,I learned this movie had been about the USS Franklin CV13. I have always wondered why the movie was never shown again or put out on VHS or DVD. Of all the movies that have been put out on DVD,This is one that certainly should have made it. I would like to see it on DVD. I would certainly go out and buy it!
