Great movie in black and white. The colorized version sucks. In the colorized version the naval officers and chief petty offices are wearing blue dungarees instead of khakis.

I have this movie on a disc. I love how all the credits name the person’s rank or rate in the USN or USNR. This movie was made for B&W. Technical director knew Navy boat protocol and customs. Absolutely one of the best Navy WWII movies. Another one correctly done was “The Enemy Below”
