I was ejected from the theater during a showing of Top Gun, MIG 28 my *expletive deleted*ss. That along with other disparaging remarks about the movie eventually got me asked to leave. I don't care what my wife says, the tequila had nothing to do with it!!! ;)

That is what they get for showing that movie so close to a Naval Air Station.  :)

This.

I tried to watch it,  but even with Adam Baldwin I couldn't. I'm glad it's entertaining you though,  it had potential as long as you have never been on a military vessel.

Out of curiosity, would the Navy folks list what is inaccurate?

I was more of a firm ground type. Screw spending months on a tin can...  but I know plenty of folks who liked it. I'm just not a deep water kind of guy.

I've given up on real accuracy, especially in military thrillers, a long time ago. 
Just don't tell me that Hogan's Heroes wasn't an accurate portrayal of life in a German POW camp . . . and that McHale's Navy took liberties with WWII PT boat operations as well.

Well we do know that the POWs made Colditz a pretty wild camp and often pulled lots of nutty antics.
