I like a good story.. and this show has the start of one that hopefully does not go off into some weird screwed up alien supernatural idiotic and mindless direction.

Well said. If you watch this expecting "Das Boot", you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you watch it with some suspension of disbelief, it's actually pretty decent. I can forgive the factual goofs, such as drinking/having alcohol on board, saluting without covers, as they do not take away from the overall plot. As a TV drama, it's pretty good. As a documentary of life in the fleet, not so much.
That said, it's certainly better than "Battleship".
