I just happed to catch the movie Mr Roberts yesterday what you describe was brilliantly put to film

I like that one...sigh. It is too bad he produced the like of Jane and Peter Fonda.
I saw another navy related one with him about a month ago called “Yours, Mine, and Ours” which was a family favorite for my family!
The old one with Lucille Ball...:)
