I read a whole book about the incident...it was fascinating.
The scene on the bridge when an experienced seaman tried to tell the Missouri’s new Captain he was on the wrong side of the channel marker, and the Captain slapped him down...reminded me of the famous scene from The Caine Mutiny where Queeg steamed over his own tow line...
