Plot Summary

The story of U.S.S. "Belinda", Attack Transport PA22, launched late 1943 with regular-Navy Captain Jebediah S. Hawks (Jeff Chandler) and ex-merchant Lieutenant Dave MacDougall (George Nader) as boat commander. Despite personal friction, the two have plenty with which to deal as the only experienced officers on board during the "shakedown". Almost laughable incompetence gradually improves, but the crew remains far from perfect when the ship sees action, landing troops on enemy beachheads. And few anticipate the challenges in store at Okinawa. Written by Rod Crawford

Trivia The studio received permission from the US Navy to join 200 ships and 10,000 men in the Virgin Islands to film a three-day assault on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. Some of the footage was included in this movie. The cast and crew boarded in St. Thomas and filmed aboard the USS Randall (renamed the "Belinda" in this movie). The crew shot deck and aerial photography of the Navy's maneuvers. Director Joseph Pevney hired 25 Marines as extras. See more »
Goofs About a third of the way through the film, the Belinda is shown taking part in the assault on Makin Atoll. Numerous hilly and mountainous islands are seen. However, in real life Makin is extremely flat. See more »

Quotes Capt. Jebediah S. Hawks: [after a poor gunnery exercise] Now hear this. This is the Captain speaking. You are to get down on your knees. Down on your knees, I say, and give thanks that that was only a 30-foot piece of canvas instead of an enemy bomber. I've seen ten-year-old kids shoot better with slingshots!
