I've recently read the McKenna novel and it's amazing how much of the book Robert Wise managed to get on the screen. Steve McQueen is at his finest here as is Richard Crenna as the ship's captain, simply superb stuff, and as for Candice Bergen ....wow! very high on my list of top naval movies.

You are so right Sonarman.

I am glad to see Steve McQueen remembered for more than just Bullit ,The Great Escape and The Blob.
