My father joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1939 right after war had been declared with Germany sailing the Atlantic between Nova Scotia, Canada and Great Britain. He died too young in 1962, leaving his wife (our mom) and 3 children. I only wish I would have known him better, me not only as his son but to meet my son and daughter. He would have been a great grandfather as he was my dad. He will always be my hero.

My maternal grandfather was a ship's mechanic on a tanker (he called it a "floating gas station") out of Pearl in WWII. He and my grandmother would laugh about him meeting two of her brothers in the Navy before he met her. One of her brothers gave my grandfather her address and they would write to each other. After he was discharged they dated a while a got married. He was a wise, gentle man, and a source of endless stories. He's been gone over 15 years now and I still miss him.

[@spudhut2246]

@@trs-80fanclub12 - That Captain's actions and words were spot on. To take command of a ship, and mold your crew, it takes a stiff, hard nosed character to push, drive and train his ship to be the best it can be. Only till the crew shows its commitment and skill to the Captain can it be one, and even still, he will drive them to do better so that when the time comes, they perform their best at their normal. The other 'captain' (LT) said it; A Captain isnt your friend, he's your leader and mentor. He makes decisions that no other member of the ship will have to make, for the better good of the crew and the ship, [even if it means sacrificing one to save 10.] The movie depicted it good, towards the end, the crew worked as a machine, always strived to get better and more proficient [hence the comment on unloading the boats in 11 min, which was the best ever]; not just for the ship, but for the mission and for the "Old Man". I served under a similar Captain, I didnt like the man, but he knew how to bring the ship together and make it the best in the fleet. That was worth it.

[@trs-80fanclub12]

There are many coincidences in this movie with regards to my family. My grandfather was a Navy doctor in the Pacific, serving on a cruiser named the USS Columbia. They were hit by three Kamikazes in 24 hours, one of which hit the area around the sick bay, where the chief surgeon was taking care of the wounded. Everyone there was killed. My grandfather and several corpsmen were triaging the wounded on deck when this happened. They were the only surviving medical personnel. He was awarded the Bronze Star medal for his service, operating under fire on the open deck of the ship during this battle. His name was Doc Flynn.

I agree! ENEMY BELOW is my favorite. Robert Mitchum acted his best role as Captain.

[@hylndrfan]

Notice how in both movies that the main characters were former Merchant Marine Officers. During the war the Navy had to draw from the Merchant Marine to fill its officer corps aboard warships and it was a blessing as professional mariners with their extraordinary shiphandling and seamanship skills were found to be outstanding warriors at sea. I met an old Harbor Pilot in Seal Beach CA who graduated from the US Merchant Marine Academy early in the war and by the close of the war he was in command of a light aircraft carrier.

When I was in boot camp at Parris Island, I was in Able Company, 1st Bn, right next to the outdoor theater. Every night we could hear the soundtrack of the movie (though we never saw a movie.) The night they showed "Away All Boats," there was a platoon of recruits watching the movie and one of their DI's had been stationed on the west coast when the movie was filmed and had been used in the filming. Every time the DI's image appeared on the screen his entire platoon snapped to attention and shouted his name, then immediately sat down until the DI's image appeared again. That happened all through the movie.

One of my early duties in the USN was in a building that simulated the organization and executions of an amphibious Landing, some years later in simulation Naval Gunfire navigation and gunfire procedures as the voice of a gunfire spotter. Also My uncle was a brigadier general in the USMC and involved in many amphibious landings in the pacific. This movie shows the great value of the support ships in those landings. It takes many support roles to have successful Amphibious Landings in wartime. This movie should be a must to see for those being trained in these tactics. Without putting troops on the beaches and holding territory we would have had a much more difficult Pacific WWII.

I had the honor of talking to a navigator on one of these ships a few years ago. That thing about having the merchant marine officer and the privileged X-O was exactly like his ship, except that in his case, it was the _captain_ who was the brat, and the merchant marine X-O that got them through the ordeals. I wanted to ask him about his experience in WW2 for a long time. When I finally did, his answer was a greatest generation classic: "I could bore you with a lot of interesting stories about the war." I said, "Bore me I want to hear it all"." He didn't. (Bore me, that is.). The movie makers did a great job of making bringing stories that were compelling, respectful and educational. The garbage guy was one of my favorite characters. He knew that his job was important, even if no one else did, and he did it with courage and persistence, even though he was treated as a bit of a comic character.

[@billwebb9643]

The garbage grinder grasped that EVERY job was important on the ship - did his with determination, pride, and balls. Ammo cooking off? F that - I've got a grinder to attend to! Even the Captain saw him as indispensible. So at least two people took pride in his work - himself and the Captain.

My Dad said they never got food, clothes or any supplies and what they had they gave to the Seebees because they could make anything. Freezers to keep their food from rotting, they made shirts, pants. My Dad went 3 months with no shoes because they rotted from being wet all the time. The Seebees managed to trade and get him some shoes. He said they would have starved to death if it wasn't for Seebees. My Dad would by any Seebee he met, a beer, a sandwich, etc. Eternally thankful.

He’s tending a soldier at 1:33:22 and says "Dr Bell’s waiting for him in surgery, sir."

Tending to the Captain on a stretcher.

The kamikaze scene reminded me of the story my father in law told us about an attack on the Lindsay at the battle of Okinawa. The Lindsay’s bow was completely blown off, yet her crew kept her afloat until a tow could reach her. Many were killed. He described picking up pieces of unrecognizable flesh until he saw a finger with a ring he recognized. He and his buddy had been making rings from tooth brush handles a few days before and this was one of those rings so he knew his friend had died. My father in law was only 17 at the time.

“My eyes aren’t Japaneezee at all”. The one line I will remember from this film. Aside from that, a very good war film.

[@franceswitham8214]

This is a very good movie.

A favoured War Movie of mine, I even have a "Belinda, APA 22" Cap [NOT VETERAN]. @12:58, The captain of a ship would have used his chin strap. Note the U.S.Navy "Captains' Chair" is custom made to the measurements of the specific Captain, and NO ONE but the captain may sit in them. For many years I was a Destroyer man, then I realized that without the Cargo Ships of the Navy none of the Fighting ships could do their jobs, Food, Ammunition, and support services may be the real 'fighting' navy.

[@kevincrosby1760]

Some go to sea on ships loaded with weapons. Some of us went to sea with 7.6 million gallons of fuel and 600 tons of munitions...and nothing but an 8-cell Sea Sparrow box launcher and 2 CIWS emplacements. The standing dark joke was that 1 good missile or torpedo hit, and we'd be the first USN ship's crew to achieve Low Earth Orbit.

[@donnarouse9432]

Anything about the navy is truly interesting. But i was focused on the seabees. My daddy and ex were EOs and i have watched the fighting seabees several times. An inspiration.

[@stargazer5784]

Out damn standing movie!

[@mikelee6936]

Thanks youtube for another oldie.

This movie rememvered my served Korean Navy's LST 807, 43 years before. (US Navy's LST 1010) The landing LCVT were same of WW2.

[@williambefort5327]

Our 2nd Brigade of the 9th Infantry Division was the first US unit to undertake riverine operations in the Mekong River delta in early 1967. Pending arrival of our barracks ships, we operated for some weeks from USS Henrico, APA-45, and later from USS Montrose, APA-212, in the Mekong estuary. Both ships were WW2 veterans. Henrico in particular had, on 6 June 1944, put the 16th Infantry Regiment of the "Big Red One" ashore on Easy Red sector of Omaha Beach; and on 2 April 1945 she had been struck directly by a suicide bomber at the Kerama Retto anchorage off Okinawa, on that occasion losing her captain and 48 others killed. Montrose, entering the war later, had shot down two suicide aircraft at Kerama Retto during the protracted Okinawa battle. For those of us infantrymen who understood something of their history, serving aboard these war-scarred APAs lent significance to the task we were attempting in the Republic of Vietnam.

Thanx, and Welcome Home, Brother.

Thank you for your service.

Slow moving film until the kamakazie attacks 3/4ths into it.

[@cannong1728]

Great movie...!

[@valerieclark4580]

Great movie, great cast!

[@alanstrong55]

I am glad I stayed away from the Navy. Life aboard ship can be tough as a nail.

[@positive8373]

Not a wonder I joined the Navy after watching movies like these growing up. The day I got command of my own landing craft with my own crew - there was no other place in the world I wanted to be. It was not war time these salty dogs - but danger on the dark ocean is always present. The gravity of how fast harm can come to someone is always present. We worked hard to make sure that never happen. I had a several good crews and she was a good boat. :)

[@gallagjg]

My grandfather sailed on one of these as the communications officer.

[@patrickbuechel2599]

Absolutely a great movie.

[@ChoralSea]

Brought back fond memories of my Gator Navy Days on AGC-12, APA-27, LKA-114. " Charlie On Time "

[@brianchisnell1548]

George Clymer. APA 27. My father served on that ship out of San Diego.

[@rabidfarmer9765]

I have always enjoyed this movie - A+

[@hardcorehunter9438]

WW2 soldiers sailors marines and airmen were the best generation

[@johngaither9263]

Read the book, built the model and enjoyed the movie. Unlike SOP for Hollywood, they stayed pretty close to the book.

Good film. I recommend it.

[@clayrogers3890]

This film was made about a real ship that my father served on during WW2. He died in 2012 and about 6 years before he died we were talking about his service and he casually said "hey did I ever tell you they made a movie about the ship I was on, it was Clint Eastwoods first movie!" I was flabbergasted that he had never told me this before, I immediately found a VHS copy of it online and within a week I was sitting with my father watching the film as he recounted things in the film that were true and things that were more fiction. Anyway, the real name of the ship was the USS Pierce APA 50. My dad saw a lot during the war and did not talk much about it. I took him on an Honor Flight to DC to see the newly finished WW2 memorial a few years before he died and as I sat with him on the plane and on the bus he spoke so much about the war and things he had experienced that I never knew, not with me mind you but with other veterans sitting next to him. I was just a fly on the wall trying to be quite while he shared with his fellow WW2 veterans, was an amazing experience.

[@skttnm]

I thought that was Clint Eastwood as a medical personnel after the attack scene. Didn't know this was his first movie. I love these WW2 movies. It was a whole different time. The world has changed. I have such a deep respect for our WW2 and Vietnam veterans. They inspired me as a child growing up in the 80s. I was able to represent the 82ND Airborne for the 50th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden as a young corporal. It makes me sad that that entire generation of veterans are nearly gone, so many in the last 30 years. It's crazy to me that my first tour in Iraq has already been 20 years ago. The Vietnam guys are now what the WW2 guys were to me as a child. Thank you for sharing your memories of your grandfather, one of the men who inspired this movie. I watched a lot of old WW2 movies, but I'd never seen this one until now.

[@keyman2344]

Actually, Clint Eastwood’s first movie part was in 1955’s ‘Revenge of the Creature’ which was a sequel to ‘The Creature of the Black Lagoon’. He played a small part as a lab tech. You’ll hear his voice before you see his face.

[@navysailor]

The LT was right the C.O. has the loneliest job. He / She can't associate with the officers or enlisted. The Captain can't even enter the Officer's Wardroom without having the Mess President's the X.O.'s permission. The Captain's food isn't any better than the lowest enlisted. He eats the same food the rest of the ship eats although his is cooked individually. If he/she is a drinker they have to have the duty to stay away from any liquors held in the C.O.'s Mess as it is only used for VIP visitors and foreign dignitaries. The hardest thing is that the Commanding Officer bears is he/she has the sole responsibility for the ship and her crew. Any foul up's lay at the Captain's lap.

[@princesspiplaysbass]

My father was Fleet Captain for US Steel. For sure a lonely job.

[@strfltcmnd.9925]

The U.S.Navy is dry. Who ever told you all this doesn't know what they're talking about.

[@CHixon]

A 1946 DeSoto taxi at the beginning. Takes place in 1943. A few almost identical 1942 DeSotos were made before wartime production stopped. But they had hide-away headlights.
