Have never seen movie, however...
21 October 2005
My father did a cruise on the "Teakettle". I would like to know either the hull number or the actual name of the ship that was used in the movie. If anyone has this info. both my father and I would be grateful. He did a cruise down to the V.I. before going to war college, right before Korea,but just right after WW II. I understand we sold it to the Nat. Chinese(?).He had stated to me that it that the rust was the armor on it. LOL It was a PC stationed, when he was on board, at the Washington D.C. Navy yard. He did tell me that when they were on this cruise that a Destoryer was passing fuel to them and the whole ship was "like being on a roller coaster". They made down there, and back. In one piece!! LOL. Thanks,
