Because the plot focused on a mutiny on a submarine, the Navy declined to assist in the production. The director got the submarine shots he needed by hiring boats and helicopters to chase down USS Alabama (SSBN-731) when it was spotted leaving Pearl Harbor. | U.S. Naval Institute | Facebook

We had a lovely Sea Services event yesterday. One of the highlights was when the United States Naval Academy Catholic Choir sang the Navy Hymn near the end. The hymn references the Navy and other armed forces who serve at sea---the Marines, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine---and the last verse mentions Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. We were able to capture some video of the choir while they sang. | The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
