Factual error: Most uniforms in this movie are worn incorrectly. Between wearing belts incorrectly, not wearing ribbons on dress uniform (shore patrol), female hair regulations, shoes, and having ribbons in the wrong order it's like they didn't even try.

Pascal: Jesus, Buckman! This stuff has been on the Stingray since Korea! This can expired in 1966!
Buckman: What's the matter, sir? It still tastes like cream corn.
Pascal: Except it's deviled ham.
Trivia: Tom Arnold turned down the role of Lt. Com. Dodge to play the lead in "McHale's Navy."
Question: Whose picture did Dodge salute in his cabin when he said "live to fight another day"?
Answer: Looks like Mush Morton, but that wasn't his ship. The real name of the submarine used in the movie was the Pampanito (SS-383). Her captain was Charles Jackson. It might be his picture on the wall. I can't find a picture of him.
